RANKIN COUNTY TEACHERS AS
SOCIATION.
Rankin county teachers association
met at Brandon, Saturday, February
13.
The attendance was not as large
as had been expected, owing to the
inclemency of the weather. But those
teachers who were preseiit—about 35
in number—were all enthuastic.
The subject, “Professonal Courtesy”
brought about a good deal of discus
sion. Miss Ivey Davis read an ex
cellent paper on the subject, after
which several made short talks. All
agreed that not enough professional
courtesy is shown by the teaching
profession. Some of the points
brought out and generally agreed to
were as follows:
1. No teacher has a right to speak
disparagingly of his predecessor, eith
er to patrons, pupils, or disinterested
parties. If nothing complimentary
can be said of the works of the other
teachers it should not be spoken of
at all. However, when a teacher is
asked about the works and character
of another, with a view to employing
the other teacher, the truth should be
told.
2. No teacher should allow pupils
to speak in uncomplimentary terms of
other teachers; neither should patrons
be encouraged to “talk about” other
teachers.
3. No teacher should apply fqr a
school when the one who taught the
school the last session is an applicant
or when there is any chance of the
old teachers’ being elected, whether
he is or is not an applicant.
4. No teacher has a right after
contracting to teach aschool to resign
without the full consent of those
interested. The offer of a higher
salary at another place should be no
inducement for a teacher to brake
his contract.
On these points all agreed, and
they are published that every teacher
and patron in the county* may read
them. *
The report of the corn club com
mittee was published last week.
Blanks were ordered prepared and
sent to each contestant »o that he
may keep a true record, with little
trouble, as required by the committee.
J. I. Covington was elected secre
tary to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Miss Gussie May.
Some new teachers were enrolled
making a total enrollment of nearly
sixty members this year.
M. Rundle r«*ported there would
be a four week’s normal at Pela
batchie this summer. He also stated
that board ccnild be secured at very
reasonable raisf?s, and that the best
faculty possible was being selected.
This announcement of the normal
was received with a good deal of sat
isfaction.
Report of the executive committee
was received. It was published in
last week's issue.
A number of subjects were discuss
ed and a great interest was manifest
ed . Messrs. Rundle and McIntosh
have offered to give a five dollar
brooch to the girl \yho bakes the best
loaf of bread. Messrs. Taylor and
Covington havehad enough experience
eating bread and so have decided to
offer a prize to cost not less than
five dollars to the school girl who
cooks the best cake. Instructions will
be printed Hater.

MISSISSIPPI PAVES THE WAY.
The brakes were put on in time
/ the Mississippi Grand Lodge of
Masons to avert a possible future
disaster to that great and powerful
organization.
When ‘New Jersey was notified
that in the Judgment of Mississippi
Masons, tjhe negro should not, could
not and would not be admitted to
fellowship, the way was blazed for
other Southern states to follow.
And it is certain that they will
follow Mississippi's lead.
More than this, it is certain that
iihe warning conveyed by this action
will result in the masonic bodies of
the East and West being more care
ful in the future.
The majority of them, at least,
will respect the wishes of their
Southern brethern and will black
ball black applications in the the fu
i * % j|$j • ;■ ’
ture.
This leading off on the part of
the Masons calls to mind the fact
that Mississippi always leads.
What a grand old state it is and
what priceelcss heritages it will hand
down to future generations, besides
the good of the present day and time.
Mississippi Masons were the first
to declare against negro member
ship. Mississippi was the first state
to throw off carpet bag rule and
restore the government to its rightful
rulers. ,
It was the first state to make a
constitution that practically elimin
ated the negro vote.
It was the first state to pass a
separate coach law.
In thus going so far toward a so
lution of the race uqestion, Mis
sissippi has led all other Southern
states.
The genius of her statesmen, who
have placed the imprint of their
patriotism and devotion upon her
constitution and statues has lighted
the way of her sister states to fol
low.
With a firm hand, the Masons took
hold of what might have become a
perplexing question and settled it.
Proud old state; brave men and
true patriots!—Meridian Dispatch.
