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
ns 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 proper thing to
do would be to go to see the teacher about them. Many
u 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 ANDERSON, Principal.
HISTORY.
The public-minded citizens of Alcorn County, realizing
the necessity of practical work in schools and more espe-
cially the importance of proper training along agricultural
and industrial lines, availed themselves of the opportunities
offered by the laws of the State and established the Alcorn
County Agricultural High School.
The first session of the school opened in October, 1909.
A few days after the opening of the school the old law
was declared unconstitutional. However, we continued to
work, running a free school open to ,jll grades. After
the Legislature corrected the mistakes made, work was
resumed on our new building, this being completed in time
for the school to move into new quarters before the close
of the first session. The second session was a gwat success
in every way.
On February 19th, 1912, the school building was con-
sumed by fire. The good people of Kossuth threw open
their homes to the hoarding pupils until the Hoard of
Trustees leased the hotel for a dormitory, On the 22d of
the same month school was resumed in the old Kossuth
free school building, with the hotel as dormitory. The
remainder of the session the school was good and the
attendance held up better than was expected.
In May the Board of Supervisors issued $5,000.00 in
bonds and the Board of Trustees, under an act of the last
Legislature, borrowed $5,000.00 ami it is hoped that by
September two new buildings, by far suprnssing 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 opened after Christmas with renewed
vim and determination, and things moved on well until
the close, May 27th, the attendance holding out better than
in the past, and our splendid graduating class setting a
precedent high in grade attainments and moral behavior.
The climax came in the speech of Hon. J. W. Powers and
all ended well.

LOCATION.
Kossuth 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 enthusiastic 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 iu
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
6
disciplined. Hence, the true object of discipline is nut
merely to secure obedience and courteous deportment. but
to develop in the child power to govern himself. By put-
tin" upon the child every responsibility lie can bear, self-
relinnce, self-respect, and self-control wi;l be encouraged
and developed. The grown pupils will be treated as ladies
and gentlemen until they have proved themselves other-
wise. Children will be corrected when necessary. The
relation between pupil and teacher, as far as possible, Will
he one of mutual confidence and respect.
GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS AND PLANS.
BOARDING DEPARTMENT.
The Agricultural High School Building will be able to
care for seventy-five to eighty-five boarders. All hoarders
entering this department will be expected to comply with
all requirements of the department.
AH pupils in the boarding department will be expected
to do at least one hour's work each day. The girls will be
expected to attend to the cooking, the dining room work,
cleaning up their own rooms, etc. This work will be so
arranged that each girl will have only the required amount
to do each day. It is not our intention to force any work
on any girl that she is not capable of standing, but merely
to make the 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, help 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 day in the school
"week, 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
<a«e tfiere is any bafnnct? it will 6c applied to the Board
In case there are boys and girls who wish to work their
way through, there will be provisions made for same. Any
wishing to avail themselves of tins" opportunity should, see-
the Principal at' once.
We propose to put a: f7 ret -class" education within the:
reach erf a If. It will be' your own fault in case you fail.
PHOT. HAL ANDEaSON,
PHIMCIPAI.
REQUIREMENTS OF BOARDING PUPILS.
All pupils in the boarding department will be required
fo 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
each pupil to spend two hours in actual preparation of
the work for the next day. This applies to five nights in
the week.
No pupils will be allowed to visit in town except at the
discretion of the Principal in charge.
No hoarders will he allowed to leave the building at
nicht except at the discretion of the Principal in charge.
Boarders will not be allowed to receive visitors in t heir
rooms.
No girls will be allowed to receive boys as company
during the session.
The boys will not be allowed to loaf around the stores
or town. We have a school ground of twenty-six acres,
sufficient to allow any boy all the exercise necessary to
develop him physically. We feel sure that he will gain
nothing mentally or morally by such loafing.
.All boarders will be required to furnish the following
nrticlees: 6 towels, 2 sheets, 2 pillow cases, 2 quilts or
blankets, 4 table napkins, comb and brush, toilet soap, I
pillow, 1 chair, 1 bucket, 1 mirror, 1 drinking cup. Any
pupil failing to bring the above will be required to get same
at once or the articles will be bought, and charged to their
accounts.
All boarders will be required to attend Sunday School
and preaching each Sunday. We have Sunday School at
three churches: Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian.
GENERAL EXPENSES.
COST OF BOARD.
Board will be furnished at actual cost. A deposit of
$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 month. Within rive days the pupil will be
required to deposit with the manager of the boarding de-
partment the amount called for 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 failing to make the* required deposit within the
required time will be dismissed from the school till such
deposit is made. Any balance due such pupil will be repaid
at the end of hist month when the cost for board shall have
been prorated.
0f
PROF. E. 'STRICKLAND.
PRINCIPAL LITERARY DEPARTMENT
Tuition in all High School grades for students from
Alcorn County will be free. A tuition of $2.00 per month
will be charged all pupils outside of Alcorn County.
10
fS TSCIDKN'TAL.
All pupils will be required to pay an incidental fee of
$1.00. This fee is due tire first day of "School, and no pupil
will be entered upon the register of the sch.:ol till this fee
is paid. We ask all patrons to attend to this, so as to avoid
unnecessary trouble. Any balance on hand at the end of
'the session will be used to improve the interior of the
j k 'recitation room.
TtEQTJTREMENTS FOU AIO, PUPILS.
No student will be admitted to this school without satis-
factory evidence of a good moral character.
Pupils will be required to observe all rules and regula-
tions of the school.
! No cigarette smoking will he allowed upon the school
premises. We have little hopes for the boy who has bis
brain filled with nicotine. In case your boy smokes cigar-
ettes and has your consent to do this, it would be beter to
keep him at home.
No profane language will he allowed by or between
pupils.
Any pupil having contagious disease will be required
to remain away from school, at the discretion of the faculty.
No pupil will be allcrwgd to deface or mutilate the build-
ings or grounds. AnyTJppil doing this will be required to
compensate Epr same or else replace the damaged part.
Any pupil bringing books, papers or other reading mat-
ter to the school other than text-books, will do same at his
own risk. The teachers will be expected to take up such
reading matter and destroy same at their discretion.
Separate playgrounds have been provided for the boys
and girls, and under no conditions will either be allowed
to infringe upon the grounds of the other.
Association between the boys and girls is strictly pro-
hibited, except as they may be thrown together during
recitations.
Continual or malicious violation of any of the rules,
11
Indoleace, profanity, obstinancy, or any ungentlemanly or
nnlady-like conduct, shall subject the offender to suspension
or expulsion.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS OF RESIDENT PUPILS AND PUPILS
BOARDING IN PRIVATE HOMES.
4-11 pupils shall be required to come direct from home
to school and return direct home from school. Each pupil
MISS MAE BELLE WILLIAMS
MUSIC DIPAaTMlNT
is 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.
12
!>'
All pupils shiill be expected to be present at the chapel
exercises each morning.
We make this an earnest appeal tn the parents to stop
all Friday night frolics and let. the children spend the
session in careful study. You cannot expect us to accom-
plish anything if you allow your boys and girls to go out
to frolics, parties, etc., during the session. In case you
expect your girl to succeed, then stop her from receiving
company during the session.
Again, we ask for the co-operation and help of the
patrons in making this school a success.
During the past session we have added more than 100
volumes of standard literature, an Encyclopedia, a Dic-
tionary and two nice book cases to our 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
regular reports, showing the attendance, deportment, and
general progress of each pupil in each recitation. These
reports shall be signed by the parent or guardian and
returned to the teacher. Each 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.
ATTENDANCE.
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
13
days eacli week. It not only throws the pupil behind, but
puts him as a stumbling block in the path of progress of
others. We therefore urge that you make any sacriri ■:•
within reason to keep the pupils in regularly.
MISS FA-NTJIE CAIXENDlfi,
DOMESTIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
ATHLETICS.
We believe that well-directed physical exercise preserves
the health of the student, stimulates his 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,
14
I
is foiling in its mission 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
baseball and basket ball, the girls to play tennis and basket
GIRLS BASKET BALL TEAM
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. Match 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.

THE PURPOSES OF THE AGRICULTURAL
HIGH SCHOOL.
First — It supplies a missing link between the old system
anil life.
Second— It qualifies its students to fulfill their mission
in life.
Third — It helps to keep the boys and girls in the country
by dignifying .country life and employments.

Sixth — It will serve to keep a dissatisfied class of boys
and girls in school by giving {hem something that they
have an interest in.
