We would ask that as you turn the pages of this book you bear in mind the fact that we have had not only the foundation to lay out, but the construction work to execute as well. NVe wish to thank those members of the faculty who have helped us in so many ways, the members of the other classes wh-o so willingly contributed material, and the young men who lent their assistance in getting the manuscripts typewritten. Without. this aid, the task would have been beyond our ability. We assure you that we have put forth our best efforts in the few weeks in which we had to complete the work. We sincerely hope that the publication will meet the approval of the student body. Those who can, do. Those who can't, criticize. Katie Gray Lyle, Editor-in-Chief.

It is not a souvenir and it is not an annual, nor do they, the class, intend to be only for themselves. Its name, The New Spirit, indicates its purpose. It is intended to be help- ful to those engaged in the same line of work as they and to any others into whose hands it may fall. I commend it. JOE CGOK, PRIQSIDENT. 8 ORVILLE G. BRIM. Head of Department of Education 9 History of The Normal College Mississippi is a great state and has always been, but it was noticed by many enthusiastic and broad-minded teachers of the state that there was something lacking. These teachers, whom space will not permit me to name, thought, discussed, dreamed and thought again, and finally decided that a training school for teachers was the one thing needed most. This need bore heavily upon their minds long before the people themselves or the law-makers would take notice. But through the efforts of committees appointed by the teachers' as- sociation to arouse the interest of the law-makers of the state, a bill for the establishment of a normal college received serious consider- ation. This bili passed the senate in 1908, but was killed by a com- mittee of the lower house. In 1910 the fight was renewed and the bill passed the senate again but was favored by a committee of the house. However, the authors of the bill persisted and finally succeeded in getting the bill before the house itself. After a hard struggle and many amendments the bill went through without any appropr iations for building or support. The law-makers of Mississippi had finally given their consent to me establishment of a teacher's training college, but had declined to invest any of the people's money in the buildings. It was thought by many that this act was useless because they believed it impossible to procure funds for the establishment of the college, but the good spirit of Southern Mississippi had been left out of this consideration. As soon as the calls for bids on the location was made, three communities, Laurel and Jones County, Jackson and Hinds County, Hattiesburg and Forrest County rushed forward with bids of from rB250,000 to 53011000 each for the location of this new college which had not one penny for support. Hattiesburg and Forrest County received the award on a cash gife of 3250.000 a gift of eight hundred and forty acres of land and other valuable considerations. The first boaid of trustees were: E. F. Noel, governorg EX-officio Trustee, J. N. Powers, State Superintendent, Ex-officio Trustee, Joe Cook, President and VV. T. Lowrey, P. H. Saunders, T. C. Kimbrough, VV. li. Stokes. The report of the board of trustees submitted to the legislature in January 1912 closed with the following statement? We cannot close this report without a special w-ord of apprecia- tion and commendation for the liberal spirit that was shown by the three cities and counties that made such maginificent offers for the location of this college and especially do we wish to express our grati- tude and sense of deep obligation to the people of Hattiesburg and Forrest County for their magnificent gift. We feel that the people of Mississippi cannot but share our feeling in this matter, and we believe that they will applaud any action of their representatives in giving libera.l support to an institution that is so vitally important to our educational system. The following will show who were officers of the college, the city, Hattiesburg, and the County, Forrest, who were vitally concerned in the first movement made toward the establishment of the Normal College: E. F. Noel, Governor, EX-officio Trustee, Earl Drawer, Gover- nor, Ex-officio Trustee, J. N. Powers, State Superintendent of Educa- tion, Joe Cook, President District Trusteeg W. T. Lowrey, P. H. Saunders, T. C. Kimbrough, VV. E. Stokes, J. E. Brown, H. L. McClesky, R. E. NVilburn, H. R. St-one. Those who resigned: T. P. Scott, J. C. Fant, VV. H. Smith, Joe Cook and J. T. Thomas. The City Officers: J. D. Donald, mayor. Aldermen: M. J. McGrath, VV. E. Fail, H. C. Greer, J. R. Haney, E. J. Mitchell, R. A. Cameron, A. T. Powe and R. C. McKenzie. The County Board of Supervisors: J. C. Pace, J. C. McDonald, NV. A. Conn, J. L. Davis and S. E. Perkins. Now as trustees in the place of W. T. Lowrey, P. H. Saunders and H. R. Stone, resigned, we have E. E. Frantz, F. N. Foote and H. M. Threefoot. When it came to selecting a president for the institution it was very necessary to have one of the best men that Mississippi could af- ford. H. L. VVhitfield, president of the Industrial Institute and College was selected. Not wishing to give up his work at the I. I. and C., he decided not to accept the position. W. H. Smith, who has been and still is the leader in the development of the rural schools of the state, was selected. He, however, like Mr. Vtfhitfield, felt that he could not give up the work in which he was then engaged. There was another man in the state who, as president of the Mississippi State Teachers' As- sociation, and as an influential teacher and citizen of the state, had done much to foster a sentiment favorable to the establishment of a Normal C-ollege. This man was Joe Cook, who was elected to and who accepted the position of president of the College. His record during the time he has been president and the splendid success of the Normal College say more for him than any words can say. All who know him feel that he is the right man in the right place and under his guidance the Normal College will continue to prosper. Space will not permit special comment on each individual mem- ber of the faculty, but there is nothing t.oo good to be said of them. The faculty is composed of some of Mississippi's best educated men and women together with the best men and women that the other states could afford. The following names will show who these men and women are: T. P. Scott, J. N. McMi1lin, W. I. Thames, W. F. Bond, T. F. Jackson, G. H. Armstrong, R. J. Slay, Orville Brim, Miss Annie Augustus, Miss Annie Faust, Miss Alina Hickman, Miss Kate Brown, Miss Willa Bolton, Miss Delora Hanel, Miss Maggie D. Campbell, Miss Lorena Thompson, Miss Sadie Chiles, Miss Lorene Thames, Dr. May F. Jones and Miss Emily Jones and Miss May Stokes who are now filling the places of Misses Faust and Chiles, who have resigned. The other officers are: A. V. Hays, Miss F. H. Leech, Mrs. W. T. Hudson, Mrs. J. NV. Chambers, Mrs. Annie Cook, Mrs. J. F. Hamblin, Mrs. Neva NVall, Mrs. Pearl Travis and Mrs. Mills, who is now serv- ing in Mrs. Hamblin's place. In response to the appeal of the trustees the Legislature of 1912 appropriated 376,500 for equipment of the buildings under construc- tion, and 350,000 for maintenance up to December 31, 1913. On September 18, 1912, in spite of the falling rain the normal college opened its doors with its large chapel hall crowded with two hundred and thirty students and many visitors. Despite the fact that many inconveniences existed here as at the beginning of every new institution, new students came in all the year. During the first session eight hundred and eighty-six students were enrolled. Five hundred and six during the regular session and three hundred and eighty new ones during the summer term. Every dormi- tory on the campus, including the Industrial Cottage, has been full from the very beginning and more people have wanted to come than could be accommodated. Since the opening of the second session last Septemer, there has been a constant waiting list containing scores of names of those who insisted on sending their matriculation fees with the understanding that they would be notified when a vacancy should occur in the dormitories. Up to January 24, 1914, fees for fifty-nine people had been turned down. One hundred and eight more had made inquiries and were told that there was no room for them. The legislators, having learned how rapidly the Normal College was trying to grow and after receiving an invitation from the college and Hattiesburg people, decided to pay it a visit and see for themselves what was really needed. Before adjourning the legislators appropriated SSif.tv0u for the building of a new dormitory on the campus. Arrangements are being made now to have this building completed by October 1. 1914. This will be the only state building on the campus and all of us feel justly proud of the generous appropriation of the state. From the beginning of the Normal College, the Hattiesburg peo- ple have ever been willing and ready to lend a helping hand. Nothing has been too hard for them to undertake in the way of assistance when needed. This year when the water-works of the college failed. the Commercial Club of Hattiesburg took the matter up at once with Mr. Cook and water was coming through the pipes from the city to the college in ten days. The college is growing and will continue to grow. How could an institution be a failure with such powerful working power behind it! Last year as soon as possible the Young Menis Christian Asso- ciation was organized for the young men of the college: the Young Woman's Christian Association, two literary societies. the Prestonian and Platonian for the young men: two literary societies. the Mis- sissippian and Sherwood Bonner for the young ladies. a Tomato Club for the young ladies, glee clubs and county clubs for all. Athletics is stressed in various phases. All of these organizations proved success- ful, however, there is always room for improvement. So, this year to the above number have been added a Parent Teacher's Association, in- cluding the parents of the practice school children, members of the faculty, and practice school teachers. A Shakespeare Club has been organized. All are making good. Last year fifty-five certificates were issued, sixty-five have already been issued up to date, April 22, 1914. One hundred and nineteen are enlisted to receive certificates and thirty-five enlisted for diplomas by the close of the seventh term. The Normal College enrolled more students the first session than were enrolled by any other of Missis!ippi's institutions for the first session, and it is third in enrollment now. This shows that the col- lege is doing a work that is meeting the needs of Mississippi teachers. Another reason for this enrollment is that the expenses are within reach of the people. During the past session the average cost of board was 58.25 per month in the dormitories and 36.83 per month in the Industrial Cottage. Up to date this year the average cost of board has been 39.00 per month in the dormitories and about 36.30 per month in the Industrial Cottage. There are a great number of boys and girls in Mississippi who are unable to spend a large amount of money on their education, but who vsill eagerly grasp opportunities given them in this school. The Normal College stands for clean, pure, efficient lives. Its pur- pose is to train teachers for the country schools, to fit them to be leaders in the development of every phase of rural life. The cirriculum has been mapped out and the whole system has been organized with reference to this purpose. The Normal College has a bright future before it and every loyal student will do every thing in his or her power to carry the good work on. Never shall we forget the valuable lessons taught us while here. May we ever carry with us that spirif of personal responsibility, Co-operation, and the respects for the other fe1low's rights that have been stressed so much in this institution. M. R. Pioneer Days at Mississippi Normal College It was on the eighteenth of September, 1912, when a certain Country Guy overheard a conversation between two other Coun- try Guys, that ran somewhat after this order: Well, John, when did you get in? Just a few minutes ago, replied John. How do you think you will like this place? asked Bill in an under tone and doubtful ring of voice. Well, said John, to behonest I am somewhat disappointed, and I am thinking of leaving tomorrow for Mississippi College or A. and M. I never dreamed of going to a place where I could walk from one place to another on pine stumps and where I would have to wash my face in an oil barrel. These stumps are something fearful. I saw a lady start from the car line as I came out. She caught her skirt on one of those pine limbs and left something like a yard with it. I wanted to laugh, but I felt so sorry for her, I didn't. I laughed at that red-headed chap over yonder a few minutes ago, said Bill. He came along out there in front of the boys' dormi- tory and stumped his toe on a brick-bat and got started to fallin.' He kept hittin' brick-bats and kept fallin' until he came very near hittin' his head on the freight car out there. I am discouraged myself, but I believe this is the kind of school l need. I am going to stick to it. Let me insist that you change your mind and prove your stickability and earnestness by staying a while at lea.st. I believe things will change up some. Yes, they may change, said John, but I have just been around to get my work arranged and couldn't get a thing I wanted. Mr. Mc- Millin and Mr. Brim were tryin' t-o get me straight, but couldn't. Mr. McMillin pulled the hair on top of his head and Mr. Brim kept adjust- ing his specs,' that didn't do any good so they sent me to see Miss Augustus and Miss Bolton about it. Look yonder, laughed Bill at that lady. She's tryin' to get that mud off of her shoes With a piece of tissue paper. I see no use of gittin' it off as long as it keeps on rainin' since there is no chance to keep out of it. I'm hungry, ain't you? Yes, replied Bill, but I heard President Cook say that we were going to have a reception tornorrow night. I'm glad of it. I hope our waitress will get a big dish full. A big dish full of what? laughed Bill. Of reception, replied John. ill 3 11 if ik ik Well, Bill, I had me a time at that reception the other night, said John. I met Miss - , and she's a peach. I believe I'm going to like this place yet. What d-o you reckon? I've got a date for Sunday p. m. We are going for a stroll. I thought you would like it, said Bill, you got your work didn't you? Yes, answered J-ohn. I'm going to take mathematics. pedogogy. science, and manual training: I had a letter from 'Pa' this morning. He says he don't think I am quite ready for them. He thinks I ought to take Algebra, rules for teaching, physics and paper cutting. I may change my course and take them yet. What do you think about that 'Student Government Associa- tion?' I believe I'll vote for it, said Bill. I don't know yet, If I thought it would work I would vote for it, but I'm afraid it won't do, replied John. Ill :lf is if :is ik John, suppose we go down there and pick up some df that trash. Don't our campus look better? Well I should say it does, said John. What d-o you think of that idea of Mr. Cook's about self-control? I like it myself. I think it's fine, said John. I don't believe I could be mean here if I wanted to. I hear that the people who visit us say that we have the finest student body they ever saw. I lost my hat yesterday, so guess I'll have to advertise toinorrowf Yes Bill, laughed John, I guess you will, as it is our policy to cultivate our own self-expression. ik if Sk lk if Well Bill, I feel just like I used to when I went a fishing ami stood around the pine-knot fire for eight or ten hours. said John earnestly. Do you know I haven't washed my face in about twenty- four hours? I wish they would make haste and get that well fixed, but I heard it would be tomorrow at noon anyway before they would get it fixed. I guess I can stand it if all the others can, said Bill. It strikes me that there is a great iinprovenient in conditions around here that we should be thankful for. You know how we had to do without water last fall, how we had to dodge stumps, and go around tree tops, how we had to get inside of our buildings before dark to keep from break- ing our necks in those ditches, and how dreadful that railroad before our door, and those 'shacks' were. But when I think of such men and women as we have in our faculty and this bunch of boys and girls I forget our present troubles as well as those of the past. Well Bill, said oJhn, confidentally one night, I've got a. pretty good job offered me as a teacher in a, consolidated school in l- County for next year, but I am thinking very seriously of coming back here. I'll be down to your room in a fe wminutes to work some algebra and review our pedagogy. I have passed on every thing so far and think I can pass this time. I guess I'11 go home in a. few days and help 'Pa' on the farm. 1'n1 going to do the same thing soon John, said Bill, I am go- ing to teach at ---. I won't receive a. large salary, but I am going to do my best to help those people some. Good bye old boy, said John, at the station, I am so glad I have had the pleasure of associating with you. G-ood luck. C. S. W. K X Upon this rolling hill, A forest stood of late, Now a great college is here, The youngest in the state. Upon it once there stood So many giant pines. And through it, clear and cool, A pretty brook entwines. O'er many acres green, Our campus spreads away, More beautiful 'twill be In some bright future day. How beautiful and grand, Our College buildings rise, Their massive walls of stone Seem towering to the skies. Now to the world around, They gladly do p roclaim, That in the c-oming years The world will know its fame. M. N. C. 15 Our work We do with zeal, The teachers we admire, For noble ones like these, Will better things inspire. Through scenes of beauty rare, VVe students love to stroll, Our rules are very good, They're only SELF CONTROL. Vacation soon will come, And parting hands we'll take, 'Twill be so sad indeed.

The Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations were organized by enthusiastic students at the beginning of the Nor- mal College in 1912. These associations have been a dominant factor in the solution of the social as well as the religious phase of school life. The purpose of the two associations is the same. This purpose is to unite the students of the Mississippi Normal College in loyalty to Jesus Christ, to lead them to accept Him as their personal Savior, to build them up in the knowledge of Christ, especially through Bible study and Christian service that their character and con- duct may be in accord with their belief. It shall thus associate them with the students of the world for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. It shall further seek to enlist their devotion to the church of God and to the religious work of the Normal. These Associations have done commendable work along the lines of Bible study, prayer services, and association meetings. They have a well organized system of prayer on Wednesday evenings, bible classes, and the Association meetings on Sundays, as well as a rural Sunday school in Mississippi, which is under direct supervision of the methods department of the bible class work. The associations proved a great aid in helping the new students, at the beginning of the session, as well as during the entire year. Hand-books had been prepared by the ass-ociation officers and these were given each student as a means of help. Informal receptions were given as a means of curing the blues and all through the year va- rious socials were given in observance of the annual festivities. Y. M. C. A. 1914-15. Y. W. C. A. I. A.

The Seriousness of Life In the world we find so many young men and women, and older men and women, who d-o not regard life as having any responsibility connected with it, who fail to realize that every life is meant for a pur- pose, who regard life with no degree of seriousness, but rather as a flippant, aimless, purposeless happy-go-along state of existence. They are satisfied with what the world is doing for them, happy in their worthless lot, and contented to lounge lazily and easily to the lullaby of time. Young people, we are not butterflies, to flutter a little while in the air and then drop into the dust. The words we speak and the things We do are not snow-flakes dropping into the Water, but are the begin- ning of immortalities. Nothing is finished as it passes from our hands. Either We are blessing the world or sowing the seed of a curse in every influence that goes out from us. Hence conscientious thought should be given to all of life. Each of us is a builder upon the life walls of everyone who comes our way and every one Who passes our Way is a builder upon the walls of our own life, and not one of us escapes responsibility of building well his part, remembering that a little carelessness or neglect may lead to the marring of a life or loss of a soul, and the blame will be our own. So we may say that life is a serious responsibility. It has been said, the evil that men do lives after them! It was a Wicked man, who when dying with bitter remorse in his soul, realiz- ing that his was a misspent life, and that the material which he had laid on the life walls of other people was destructive, said: Bury my influence with me! But ah, a thought once thought cannot be un- thought, a word once spoken cannot be unspoken, a deed once done cannot be undone, and a lii'e once lived cannot be lived again. When we think of this quality in all our words, acts, looks, and in- fluences, how serious a thing it is to live and mingle with other people, no act is more solemn than the taking into our lives of a new friend. Each of us is continually furnishing building material for the lives of others, and also receiving material from their lives into our own. Every walk taken with some friend, every conversation: every book read, every speech or lecture listened to, and every word uttered gives material for character building for others and ourselves. Even our very thoughts, whether they be spoken or unheard, add to our joy and hap- piness, or misery and woe in the world to come. We are builders not only upon the walls of our own life and others of the present, but upon the life and character of every one that shall be subjected to our influence, and our reward shall come accordingly, for: The tissue of the life to be, NVe Weave with colors all our own, And in the great field of destiny, We reap as we have sown. Every particle of the life of the generation yet unborn, We build with material like our own, and in eternity they may reap as we have sown. I. A.

In the early part of the school year nineteen twelve and thirteen, by a simple division of the students there were four literary societies organized, two for the men and two for the women. One of these so- cieties for young women was named the Sherwood Bonner Literary So- ciety in honor of our own Mississippi writer, Sherwood Bonner. This brilliant and noble woman lived in Holly Springs. Remembering that through her dialect stories presenting the an- te-bellum South and through her reconstructlrni novel two new forms were added to American literature that opened the way for Harris, Ruth McEnery Stuart, Page, and others who have enriched the litera- ture of our Nation in preserving for us a civilization that is now past, we found in the name of Sherwood Bonner an inspiration to under- take new things in this new school. The slogan adopted by this society was Labor is Genius, and with this as a guide it is making good. Because that popular song, VVay Down Upon the S'wanee River is so very characteristic of the South and breathes so sweetly the spirit of Sherwood Bonner's S'Wa- nee River Tales, it was chosen as the society song. Our aim of the society was to study Southern authors and to be- come familiar with what Southerners are now accomplishing in the way of literature. In the language of one of our distinguished South- ern teachers, Literature loves a lost cause. There never was a truth more beautifully expressed. Poets have already begun to sing praises of this beautiful land of ours, oratory is making immortal the deeds of Southern heroes, and authors are rising and will continue to arise to write and thrill the great heart 'of all human-kind with the grandest civilization this world ever saw. Then, the Sherwood Bonners were after knowledge-that knowl- edge, the primary office of which is to make men and women alive- alive at more points, alive on higher levels, alive in more effective ways. If the college course makes persons destined to live with other persons more thoroughly, more abundantly, and more usefully alive, it has done its wbrk. The aim of the Sherwood Bonners is not to send out a band of cultivated freaks, but real women familiar with the ideals of the Old South and permeated by the spirit of the New. The first president of the Sherwood Bonners was Miss Maude Richardson. During Miss McCalip's tenure of office the most conspicu- ous event was the burlesque on the faculty. Miss McLaurin's strong leadership gave an impetus to the active work among all the mem- bers. During the year nineteen hundred and thirteen and fourteen Misses McCullough, Dye, and Mrs. Sullivan held the office of presi- dent, each for two terms in succession. The outlook for the Sherwood Bonner Literary Society promises well. The plans have been laid for a fuller and more complete or- ganization. In spite of many discouragements in the past the society has done some very effective work, and it is making history-for the power, initiative, and executive ability acquired through society work are being put into use already by Sherwood Bonners who are leading the country children to light. D. McC. MISSISSIPPIAN 1 ITERARY SOCIETY 37 Literary Clubs in the Country Schools At one time the duties of the country school teacher were very limited from the teacl1er's standpoint at least. All her duties were within the four walls of the building. There she taught text-books to the children who tame to school, and taught only in the sch-ool room, not dreaming of the wider opportunities which were hers. She was not awake to the fact that she must live close to her children in their lives out of school, that there were children who did not come to school whom she might influence, and that hers was the privilege to lead their parents and even the whole community to a fuller enjoyment of a more useful life. But that time has past. We now realize that the modern school must administer to the community needs. Any institution is enlarged and enriched by giving to others that which it has in its possession. This is pre-eminently true in the educational world. The school must give to the community the good things which she has and which the community so much needs. In -our land these needs are many. They all come under the head of ignorance, or superstition, or suffering, or waste, or unhappiness. It is clearly the duty of the school to help in changing these conditions. The community meets the cast of the scho-ol and it needs the help of the school. VVhy should the teacher live and teach apart from the people when to make her life and teaching felt by every class of people would bring permanent progress to the c-om- munity? We recognize the fact that we need a cl-oser co-operation of all forces for the betterment of country life. Co-operation and organiza- tion go hand in hand. Believing this the country teacher will see the need and usefulness of the country club. Club work among men and women has proved to be a wonderful factor in the development of civ- ilization, and is proving just as effective in the promotion of better farming and better living. Knowing the stmulating influence of a literary club on the ordi- nary work of the school, I believe that it is a practical means of connecting the school with the h-ome life of the pupil, and in connect- ing the community with the school for the uplift of both. First of all the teacher may organize literary societies in the school. If the school is large enough, it is best to have two societies. They should hold their meetings for study every week and a joint public meeting every two weeks. These clubs should include young people not in the school, thus exerting a wider influence on the social and educational life of the community. These clubs may have a regular course of study, but aside from this there should be the freedom to discuss any question of vital importance. These discussions may take the form of public debates. In connection with this literary xt ork it would be well to have a glee club. There is plenty of talent for this in the average community, and the music would help wonderfully to bring the people together for the public meetings. As this literary club advances, it might undertake some amateur journalism. A school paper published monthly would be a splendid means of keeping the scho-ol in touch with the community, and would make the literary club a live organi- zation. If through this paper the school would give to the people practi- cal and useful knowledge which the farmers are looking for, it is evi- dent that they would rally to the support of the school. When the people have become interested, in the school through the children and have become convinced that the teacher is doing good practical work it will be easy to organize literary clubs for the farmers and their wives. The first work of the dlub coulc me papers or discussions by various ones to how to beautify home grounds or whatever subject it is of most interest to them. Thr-ough these dis- cussions, the tactful teacher can lead them to realize the need of a library. Some in the neighborhood might donate books to begin the formation of a library, others might be induced t-0 subscribe for farm papers and magazines all of which should be placed in the school building under the care of responsible students. After this start is made a small library fee may be charged. It must be made clear that this money goes f-or the purchasing of new books. This work once be- gun will grow as their interest increases and maylead to the building of a good public library. We have seen how these clubs may lead to better economic con- ditions and better educational facilities through the study of better farming methods and better living conditions. But why do we Want these improvements? It is in order that we may have better human beings. Every time the people gather together for a laudable purpose their social natures are benefited and they are led to think in units of the whole community. The club would thus be a sort of extension school for the whole people, enlarging their views of life, widening ing and a better citizen.

L Wells, M. M. 41 History ofthe Prestonian Literary Society Realizing the need of a literary society, the young men of the Mississippi Normal College met September 16, 1912 at the beginning of the first session, and organized two such societies. The numbers were chosen as in an old time spelling match. One section elected Mr. A. A. Burns as their president. The name selected for this society was Prestonian in honor of J. R. Preston who has been a. great factor, educationally in our grand old state of Mississippi. After the organization of the society with a membership of twenty- four, each member seemed to catch the spirit of the society motto which is, Every man at his post all the time, looking and lifting up, and all put their shoulders to the wheel and began to push, striv- ing to accomplish th-ose things that go to make up a man of strength, ability, and character-those things which prepare a man for leader- ship in whatever line of work he engages in after 1Tis college days are over. With these things in view and a Willing spirit on the part of each member, the society has been a great success, as is shown by the in- creased strength and ability in its members. The society is sectioned so that each member is given an equal chance, and every member has made good use of the opportunities thus afforded. The Prestonian Literary Society won in the joint debates with its rival society, the Platonians. A number of its members held last year and are holding this session important positions in the stu-dent body government. A medal was given by the society for literary work which was won by Mr. J. E. McLaughlin. The majority seem to realize the need of physical as well as mental development. They caught the ath- letic spirit and society basket ball and base ball teams were organ- ized. Of the sixty-five members last session only twenty-two are back this session. The others are out in the rural districts trying to raise the standard of education of our state, and from what we hear they are accomplishing great things, which is nothing more than we ex- pected of them. New boys have come in and have taken the places of the former students in the society. The society is still moving on- ward and upward. Though the record of the society is short, it has been one of helpful service. To the society no task is so difficult as to cause any member to shirk and with such a determination We can see nothing for the Prestonian Literary Society but success. G. W. A . - 5J.b.f -K -. vt?

F. 44 History of the Platonian Society On September 26, 1913, soon after the Mississippi Normal College opened, the young men of the college met and organiz- ed two literary societies. B. F. Valentine of Jones County, was elected first president of the one which later became known as the Platonian Literary Society. This society was divided into four sections, so that each mem- ber could do some special work. Each one has been striving to make his section the best in the society. Though his individual improvement is the primary aim of each one, all are Working for one great common cause 3 name- ly, the help and culture of each member of the society. T. E. KELLAR, Platonian Anniversarian. Our record last year includes both defeat and victory, both dis- appointment and triumph, yet we feel that the victories overbalance the defeats, for we won everything for which we contested, ext-f-pt a joint debate, and a series of baseball games. We won the only mr-dal offered outside of the regular society contest. Our work this year has been a success. We have enrolled six- ty-four members, and have a splendid line up in the athletic field, winning every game thus far. The society organized a regular base ball team at its last meeting, not only for the purpose of meeting our brother society, the Prestonian Literary Society, but also for the pur- pose of playing any other team that the society might see fit to meet. We regret that many of our old members are absent this year, among whom is State-Senator H. Harper, who is now Sargeant-at-arms in the United States Senate. The social features of the society afford great advantages to its members. The Association with each other tits us both for the bus- iness and for the social world after our college days. The members are brought very close to each other, and the friendship formed is not only a pleasure but a help throughout lift. Our motto, PRESS FORWARD, seems to be the guiding star of the whole society. The Platonian Welcome In as much as there are two societies connected with this school and both are striving to attain great efficiency in social work, we deem it a pleasure as Platonians, to give every one, who joins us a cordial welcome. We are glad to number among our members young men who will work and are anxious to get the benefit of our society. We real- ize the vast possibilities often wrapped up in our members, and we try to make one feel that each member will have the opportunity for the development of his talent. At the same time we are here for the good that We can do others and not to attain so much glory in individuality. The time has come for leadership, and the best can come only by the pjroper training that each member gets in a society that is awake to all things for the welfare of its members. E. XV.

The purpose of this organization is to develope in each member the proper charac- teristics of true manhood and Womanhood. It gives an excellent op- portunity for the development of personal responsibility and self-con- trol-two essential features in the success of the teaching profession. The Student Government Association was organized October 8. The organization consists of the officers and council of seven women and eight men. The purpose of the council is to try any student for alleged misconduct and recommend his punishment to the faculty. The officers and councilmen and councilwomen for session 1913-14 were elected October 10. C. G. Industrial Life ofthe Mississippi Normal College The Mississippi Normal College has come into existence to meet one great demand: the demand for trained teachers for the rural schools, teachers, who by their wise leadership, will develop the social intellectual and economic life of the country. Those who founded the institution and those who are guiding its affairs, have had and still have two things in view. The first is subordinate but important. This aim is that the expenses of the College to the students shall be as small as possible, thereby making it possible for the sons and daugh- ters of the common people to avail themselves of the training offered in this school. The second and more important aim is that the teach- ers shall be trained in such a way that they will be leade Fs in every phase of life. The Normal College does not place industrial training above all other training: but it believes that industrial training is as necessary for the well rounded teacher as is any other kind of training. The industrial life ofthe College, therefore, serves a double purpose. It enables a great many students to pay the greater part of their ex- penses and it trains them at the same time for that industrial leader- ship which is demanded of the present day rural teacher. On the campus there is an Industrial home, where there are six- teen girls who do all their work and thus reduce their board expenses to a very low rate. Since the school has been organized, board in the home has not been over six dollars per month. The girls who live in the cottage and study domestic science are required to put the prin- ciples which they learn in the domestic science department into prac- ticeg and for the application of these principles they are given extra credit in the domestic science department. It is home-like here and as each girl is made to feel that she is a part of the whole, the work is a pleasure rather than a burden. In the dining room, work is given thirty or more girls, who pay practically all their board by waiting on the tables and doing other dining room work. ln addition to this they get valuable training in serving meals. Additional work is given students in the dormitories, college build- ing, post office and power house. In the dormitories and college build- ing each hall is kept clean by a student, who is paid for the work. At the postoffice about six boys are employed, who look after the car- rying of the mail and its distribution, or do any other work the office demands. The power house affords another opportunity for several boys to reduce their expenses. This work enables many of the students to be practically self-supporting. ' On the farm under the direction of the agricultural department, there are conducted a school garden and a tomato club. The school garden is kept by the -observation school, where such vegetables as cab- bage, tomatoes, raddishes and lettuce are grown and served at the school lunch lesson which is given on every Friday under the supervis- ion of the domestic science department. The cabbage and tomatoes are first grown in a hot bed and the children transplant them into their garden. The tomato club is a state wide movement and no better training can be had for the uplift of a community than to have an organization of this kind. Here the girls do all the work that is possible for them to do and keep an exact record of it. The tomatoes are first grown in a hot bed and then transplanted by each girl to her plot. After the tomatoes are ripe the girls can seal and label them. The college buys them from the girls for use in the dinning room. People who exercise both their minds and bodies in some useful occupation are sane, social, and happy. VVe believe that the indus- trial life of the Normal College contributes both directly and indirectly to the student life. Therefore, the industrial life of the college may be said to be a prime factor in the education of the typical Normal Col- lege student. S. MCL. School Improvement Association Officers: Pres. Sara Lipscomb. Vice-Pres. Eugene Smith. Sec. Nettie Rose McNair. The School Improvement Associati-on was organized March 5, 1912. The purpose is first to keep in a sanitary condition the dormi- tories, college hall, and campus of the Mississippi Normal College: second, to stimulate and cultivate the habit of watchfulness and de- velop efficiency in affairs of health. The association proposes to insure to all Normal Students the very best of health, through the co-operation of each student with regard to hygienic principles. The officers of the 1913-14 session were elected October 3, 1913. During the session 1912-13 this association accom- plished a great deal. Clean Up Day resulted in a noticeable improve- ment in the appearance and condition of the grounds. Health Day has been observed each session with attractive and instructive exer- cises, both by the students and by the practice school. USL 49 Our Fathers and Mothers Days VISIT OF THE FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS. On the twentieth of November, we had as our guest, the Missis- sippi Federation of VVomen's Clubs. These delightful and interesting women came out to lunch, and such a lunch it was! There was turkey, and dressing, and cranberry sauce, and rice and gravy, and potatoes, and pickles, and peaches and cream, and bread and butter-every thing to eat that makes a stu- dent's heart rejoice. Oh! there was laughing and talking, and eating for an hour or more, and then coffee was introduced with the after dinner speeches. These speeches were various and varied in number, traversing all the flowery paths of eloquence. We listened to them with great self-satis- faction. Among those we remember most kindly was one by Mrs. Hebron, the mother of the Federation. ln her clear, sweet voice, she told of the joy it gave her to visit the Mississippi Normal College, and the part the club women had taken in making possible our beloved institution. Professor McMillin responded in eloquent language, praising the club women. Then other speeches were made by members of the Fed- eration and visitors, with a final talk by President Cook. How proud we felt as that great man thanked the Federation on behalf of the student body, for the part they had taken in making pos- sible this institution, and told them of other sources of help which we appreciate. He invited them and urged them togo through our dormi- tories and examine our present homes. It was a happy afternoon for us all, and we were sad to bid the club women good-bye. As they left us they expressed their pride and pleasure in visiting our institution, and thanked us for our hospitality. MRS. C. H. S. The Visit of the Legislators On January the twenty-fourth, Our Fathers made us their first visit. The student body was anxiously waiting at the car station to escort the visitors to the chapel hall. The morning was spent in list- ening to talks by Dr. Donald, the acting chairman, Messrs. Hill, An- derson, Bilbo, and Quinn. President J-oe Cook made the last talk and closed with an invitation to the dining hall. Although we had listened attentively and enjoyed the talks, we were then ready for dinner. After dinner several speeches were made by different members of the legislature, all of whom spoke in very complimentary terms of the Normal. The visitors were next taken tltrough the dormitories. They expressed themselves as being very much pleased with the condition of the buildings. The legislators left the campus at four-thirty the afternoon, sped on their way by the lusty cheers of the entire student body gath- ered at the car station. The students felt that this had been a great day for them and for the college. The visitors seemed to have spent a pleasant day. Perhaps seeing the college as it really is, caused them to deal more generously with it in the appropriation bill. F. B. and E. S. Athletics Athletics serves important purposes in the economy of human life, in fostering and maintaining a school spirit with-out which a college cannot do its greatest Work, and in the development of character. Athletic games are the resting and refreshing places where we relax from toil. where weariness is forgotten, and where the desponding and tired mind may reassume its strength and hope. By affording inno- cent pastime, they have the tendency to preserve the mind in a healthy condition. Realizingthe truth of the above statements, every effort possible has been made to promote and encourage athletics at the Normal Col- lege. In this, the second year of the Athletic Association, much has been accomplished. Football, basketball and base ball teams have been organized and have given an excellent account of themselves. We have had better teams in all departments this session than last session. Our teams made an exceptionally good showing, considering the raw material and lack of athletic equipment. Stress is being particularly placed upon football, base ball, basketball, track and tennis. Much of our present success is due, and a great deal of our future success will be due to the untiring efforts of Prof. lt. J. Slay, the ef- ficient manager and director of athletics. No man ever ivorketl harder to build up the spirit of high-class athletics. He has developed teams which have given a good account of themselves on the field and off the field. He has striven to put out winning teams, but he has taught his men to be fair and clean in all games. We have not won in every game, but we have won the admiration and esteem with which we have played by fair decisions. The outlook for athletics in the future is exceptionally bright, and it Will n-ot many years before the Normal teams will take their place among the best college teams of the state. W. H. H.

They know that all the mem- bers of our student body and faculty are interested in their work, so they have sent to us reports of what they have done. These young men and women have gone out into the rural com- munities of Mississippi and are doing a great W-ork. They have moti- vized the school work, and are making the people interested in every- thing pertaining to the school. Into some of the schools Music, Manuel Training, and Domestic Science have been introduced. Agriculture has been taught in a practi- cal way that appeals to children and makes them feel a new interest in it. In one county two young ladies inaugurated the plan of having several School meets each year. They hope that this will lead to the formation of a Teachers' Association in that county. Some have worked among the people until they have succeeded in getting the schoolhouse repaired and painted, and better arrange- ments made for getting water. With the help of the children they have cleaned up the school and campus, and put out trees a.nd flowers. Sev- eral of these teachers have organized Corn Clubs, Pig Clubs, Tomato Clubs, and Sewing Societies and have found that the boys and girls were much interested in them and were ready and willing to work at all times. In some communities where the country church was dead, Sunday schools have been organized and the older people of the community as well as the boys and girls encouraged to attend them. But best of all, they have visited in the homes of the communities and made people feel that the teacher is not a person who is inter- ested only in the school work, but a person who is workin: for the good of the people and the community and is their friend at all times. They have made the children feel that the school is not a place for drudgery but for pleasant, active vrork. The tear-hers who are being trained here have caught the broader visi-on of life, and are trying to carrj' out the aim of the Normal Col- lege-practicai r-ork in the rural communities of the stan tha: we may have A Great Mississippi.

Caroline Gilbert, President. Glen Hartwig, Vice-President. Nellie Rose McNair, Vice-Pres. Lottie House, Secretary. Lilly Bowen, Secretary . The club was the outcome of an English class. The course in Eng- lish being completed, and the students having become emamored of the great Master XYill, they organized themeslves into the Shakes- peare club. The membership was limited to fifteen members who must be active members of one literary society and wh-0 must have some knowledge of Shakespeare's plays. The club was organized February 17, 1914, and since then the fol- lowing plays have been read: Othello, The Tempest, and Mid- summer Night's Dream. The Club plans to read during the ssesion several more plays. This club although the youngest of all the college organizations has already demonstrated its practical value. Besides the pleasure its meeting affords, it has also an educative and culture value. Miss Augustus deserves special mention, because through her enthusiastic and unceasing interest and helpful suggestions the club work has been profitable. C. G. The Work of the Hygiene Classes The hygiene classes of the Mississippi Normal College have done some exceptionally good work this session. They have kept the cam- pus in a sanitary condition, and by oiling all the ponds, they have been instrumental in keeping malarial fever from the college. A fly brigade was organized early in the year, and did effective Work. Practical lessons in medical inspection, care of the baby, and the preparation of school lunches were given. Among the most interesting and perhaps the most useful features of the hygiene Work were the round table discussions. At Weekly meetings such vital subjects as vaccination, typhoid fever, sanitation, effects of tobacco, school luncheons and school playgrounds were discussed. , This work has vitalized hygiene work for the students.

Each one is known, and the statement set forth in the advertisements can be endorsed. Nothing will be lost by doing business with them. 63 W LKING An aged colored man ofuthe Une Rasmus type, shambled into a shoe store in Thomas- ville, Ga., and asked for a pair of boots. VV'hat's the matter, uncle, asked the clerk. You never wore a pair of shoes in your life. No, sir, said the old darkey, scratching his woolly head: Dat Ah ain't. Ah ain't neber had no shoes on in mah life, but sense dis hear probishun done gone in effeck, de woods is so full ub bottles dat a well--meanin' niggah kain't keep from manglin' his feet. XVe do not contend that all of our fair towns of the South are in the same class with the above mentioned place but can say positively that if we could get our friends to distribute their empty bottles-after we had a good look into them--in this section, it would probably mean that every darkey would form the habit and there would be a real stampede to the shoe stores and in time our friends the shoemakers and cobblers would benefit therefrom. Anyway, we are glad to learn that prohibition is doing some good and we are deriving some benefit. Be that asit may, it is time for some of our friends to come and let us fit them with our com- fortable shoes, as hot weather is coming soon, and if you wait until late you will have a hard time getting the right kind and size. VVe study the style conditions, and whenever a style is accepted as good, we are the first to put them in stock. Always see us before you buy your shoes. We can please you best.

Eye Defects in the School Room The greater per cent of eye trouble is acquired or de- veloped during school days. Neglect at this time is re- sponsible for much of the present day eye trouble. Twenty-live per cent of all school children and students suffer from defective eyes. Then fall back in their class and are often taken out of school through ignorance of the cause.
