CATALOG AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

ALCORN COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
HIGH SCHOOL

Kossuth, Mississippi
1913-14

TO THE PUBLIC AND PATRONS.

We call particular attention to the matter contained in
this catalogue. The success of the schools will depend
largely upon the good will, harmony and support that
exist between patrons and teachers, and it. is confidently
believed that this condition will only broaden and deepen
Its both parents and teachers learn more clearly how much
each needs the intelligent aid and sympathy of the other in
shaping the destiny of the child. For a parent to criticise
the teacher in the presence of a child is to do the child
an irreparable injury. You cannot afford to do this, if
you are working for the best interest of your child. If you
have grievance or complaints to make, the projier thing to
do would be to go to see the teacher about them. Many
a disturbance could be amicably settled if the patron would
only take the time to investigate and see the teacher.

The teachers employed in this school are God-fearing,
honest, conscientious men and women, and will spare no
effort to advance your children as rapidly as possible, both
mentally and morally. But their success must be based on
your confidence, your sympathy and your co-operation.
They do not ask this for their own sakes, but for that of
the children.

Parents and friends are invited to visit the schools as
frequently as possible. Let all join hands in building up
the best school at Kossuth to be found in the State.

Yours truly,
HAL ANT)EKSON, Principal.

HISTORY.
The public-niiiidcil citizeiLs df Aleoi-ii C'uinty, realizinp
tlie necessity <if practical work in scliooU and iiinre espe-
ciiilly the importance of proper traiiiiti;,' al<jn;_' a^'i'iciilt ural
and industi'iai lines, a\'ailed tlieiiiscK cs of the op|)ortiinitie.s
offered by the hiw.s of the Slate and established the Alcorn
County Agricultural Iligh School.

The first scsssion of the .school o[)cne(] in Oetolier, l'J(,)9.
A few days aftci- the opening of the school the old law
■■vas declannl unconstitutional. However, we eontinued to
work, runnin;r a free school ojien to all u'rades. .\fter
the Legi.slalure cori'ectcil the mistakes inadc\ work wa.s
icsunied on our new buildiiu:, tliis bi.'iiiM eompleted m time
far the school to itio\'e into ne\v <piai-teri before the elosi'
cf the first session. The second session N\as a urreat success
in every way.

On February lOtli, 19T2, the school budding' was con-
sumed by fire. The pood peoph; of Kossulh threw open
their homes to the hoarding pupils unid tlie Hoard of
Trustees leasetl the hotel for a dormitoiy On the 'J'Jd of
the same month school \\-as resumed in the old Kossutli
free school buildinjr, with the hotel as (h)rmitory. The
remainder of the session the scliool was '.'ood and the
iittcndancc lield up better tlian was I'xpocted.

In May the Board of Sujjervisors is.sued $0,000.00 in
bonds an(] the Board of Trustees, undi^r an a(.'t of the last
Legislature, borrowed $5,000.00 ami it is hoped that by
September two new buildings, by far suprassini: the old
one, will have been constructed.

Because of delay on the part of the contractors, we did
not move to our new buildings until the middle of Decem-
ber, 1912. The school oiiened after Cliristmas with renewed
vim and <h'fermination, and things moved on well \intil
tlie close, May 27tb, the nttendance holding (.)nt better than
in the past, and o\ir splendid graduating class .setting a
precedent high in grade attainments and moral behavior.
The climax came in the speech of lion. J. W. Powers and
all ended well.

LOCATION.

Ko83uth is very near the geographical center of Alcorn
County, nine miles from Corinth, the intersecting point of
the Illinois Central, Southern and M. & 0. Railroads..

Kossuth is a healthful little town and has a citizenship
that is enthiLsiastic over the prospects of our school. They
are careful to see that the town is free from those contami-
nating and demoralizing influences so often found in our
towns.

The school grounds are located on the highest point in
Kossuth. "We are supplied with an abundance of pure well
water, pumped from a well 200 feet deep, this well having
been bored through about 100 feet of impervious strata
assures us of good pure water for all time to come.

The general lay of the land slopes in all directions from
the building, thus giving us absolute drainage. In fact, had
the School Commissioners searched the whole country over
it would have been hard to have found a more suitable
location.

DISCIPLINE.

We believe in training a child in the way we would
like to see him go, and that we cannot start too soon. It is
ruinous to a child in the undeveloped state to leave him
without a guiding and restraining hand in his daily conduct.
In order that the teachers may be responsible to parents for
the discharge of duty, they must have absolute control of
the pupils from the time they enter the school until they
stop. Parents are requested to aid the teachers in the dis-
cipline of their children, and if they 'are not willing for
their children to be controlled, they are kindly requested to
send them to another school. Our discipline shall be firm,
but not harsh. All rules must be obeyed. In order to
learn to govern and control, one must first learn to be
governed and controlled ; to command respect, one must
also respect others. The generals who have made the best
officers were once boys who willingly submitted to being

tliscipliiii'd. llenrc, tlio trite ob.j?!.'!. of lll^^'lplin^' i> nut
merely t(i secure (il)i.''iience ;in;i cnirter.iis liepurtineiit. li'it
to deveh.p in the child power to iroverii l,i":self. By put-
ting: upon the child every iPsponslbilil}' hi' can l>ear. self-
reliniicc, self-respect, and sclf-e;inlri)l wiji he eueuui-rt'jed
and developed. Tiio ^rrown pupils will he tn-Mted as ladies
iind pentlemen nntil they have proved themselves other-
wise. Children will be corrected when necessary. The
relation het\\een pupil and teacher, as far as possible. Will
lie one of mutual confidence and rcipei-t.

GENERAL AX^•OUNCE^^EN-TS AND Pf.ANS.

BOARDING DEP.VRTMENT.

'Die Aj:i-iculturMl High School Buildiiu,' will he able to

All pupils in the boardincr department will be e.xpected
to do at h'ast one ho\u''s work each day. The girls will he
c.xppcted t.) attend to the cooking, the dining roum wr)rk,
cleaning up their own rooms, etc. This work will be so
arranged that each girl will have only the reipiired amniuit
fo do each day. It i.s not our intention to force any work
on any girl that she is not capable of standing, hut merely
to make tlie total expense as small as possible.

The boys will be required to do the work about the
place that is ordinarily expected of boys at home on the
farm. They will be required to get the water, wood, etc.,
to look after the stock, lot, garden, field, hel[i in building
up the place in general. They will also be required to keep
their own rooms clean and in perfect order.

In addition to the regular work each (iay in the school
Aveek, the boys will be given an opportunity to work every
Saturday morning on the place, for which they will receive
compensation, this compensation to go first to paying for
their laundry, which will be done by hired help, and in

<ase tfiere fs any bafance' it will be applfecf to the BoarcT.

In case there are boys and girls who wish to work their
way fhroQgh, there will he. provisions made for sarae. Any

All pupils in the fcdarding department will be required
to be in their rooms each night at 7:00 and study till 9:00,
and will be required to retire at 10:00. During this time
one of the teachers will visit the department and require

during the session.

The boys will not he allowed to loaf arouiul the stores

sufficient to allow any boy all the exercise necessar}' to
develop liiin physically. We feel sure that he will gain
nothing mentally or morally by such loafing.

-All boarders will be reciuired to furnish the following
nrticlees: 6 towels, 2 sheets, 2 pillow cases, 2 quilts or
blankets, 4 table napkins, comb and brusli, toilet soap, I

$10.00 will be required of each pupil entering the boarding
department to pay for the first month. At the end of each
month a bill will be given each pupil, showing the actual
cost for that mouth. AVithin five days the pupil will be
required to deposit with the manager of the boarding de-
partment the amount called f;r on the board bill. This

will allow tiie manager to keep all board paid in advance
and no pupil will have to suffer for bad collections. Any
pupil failin;^ to make the* required deposit within the
re<)uired time will be dismissed from the school till such
deposit is made. Any balance dije such [lupil will be repaid
at the end of fast month when the cost for board shall have
been prorated.

] pupils.

! Any pupil havinp contaErious disease will be required
to remain away from school, at the discretion of the faculty.

; No pupil will be allc^d to deface or mutilate the build-
iiiprs or grrounds. Any^pil doing this will be required to

i compensate Epr same or else replace the damaged part.

j Any pupil bringing books, papery or other readini;? mat-

ia under the control of the faculty from the time he leaves
home till he returns home. To this end we appeal to the
patrons to assist us in carrying out this provision.

Pupils will be held strictly acountable to the faculty for
any misconduct while going to or from school.

Ail piijiils shiill be expected to be present at the chapel
exercises each morninr;.

We iiia!<<' this an earnest aiipcal tn the parents to stop
all Friday Tii^'ht frolics and le^t. the children spend the
Kession i;; careful study, ^^m cannot expect us to accom-
plish Huyiliin^' if you allow your boys and piids to go out
to frolics, parties, etc., during the session. In case you
expect your girl to succeed, then stop her from receiving
conipan}' during the session.

Again, we ask for the co-operation and help of the
jintrons in making this school a success.

During the past session we have added more than 100
volumes of standard literature, an Encyclo[)cdia, a Dic-
tionar\' and two nice book cases to oui- [library. We hope,
with the aid of concerts, suppers and the regular fee of
50 cents required of each pupil, to do even more the com-
ing session.

We realize the absolute necessity of an abundance of
reference books, and our-aim is to give our pupils the very
best of everything.

At the end of each month the teachers shall make out
reg\ilar reports, showing the attendance, deportment, and
general progress of each pi;pil in each recitation. These
reports shall be signed by the parent or guardian and
returned to the teacher. Ea':'h teacher shall be expected to
make a copy of the report on the general report register
prepared for this purpose. This register shall become a
part of the history of the school.

ATTEND.\NCE.

Realizing the importance of punctual attendance', we
request the patrons of the school to assist us in this. It
is impossible for your children to do the work we expect
of them if you allow them to remain at home two or three

da\-s each week. It not only throws the pupil behind, but
puts him as a stuniblinor block in the path of progress of
others. We therefore urge that you make any sacriii ■/^
within reason to keep the pupils in regularly.

ATHLETICS.

We believe that well-directed physical e.xercise preserves
the health of the student, stimulates hia mental activity
and elevates the moral tone of the student body. Mischief
is only misdirected energy, and the teacher is often the
cause of a student's misconduct. The school that develops
the mental side of the pupils to the neglect of the physical,

is fcilinu in its mi.ssicn to mankind. Therefore, our school
lins made ample provisions in this respect for both sexes.

'.'he harm lies not in the athletics, but in the abuse of
it and in the athletes. "We will encourage the boys to play
boficball and basket ball, the girls to play tennis and basket

ball, yet the Boards have placed the following restrictions
on the athletes: All teams must be under the supervision
of the Superintendent. No games will be played with other
teams without the Superintendent or some other teacher
present. Tilatch games will be limited to school teams. No
pupii will be permitted to play in a match game who does
not make a general average of SO per cent, on his or her
daily recitations and a monthly average of S5 per cent, on
deportment.
