HIS MOTHER FROM
RURAL SCHOOL
Laurence C. Jones of "The
Piney Woods Country Life
School" Pulls Off Unique
Commencement.
Braxlon, Miss., June 20. The
word, commencemen;. always
brings to the mind music and flow
ers and oratory, but down in the
Piney Woods, Lawrence C Jones
and his school have jriven it a new
meaning. ' Along with music and
flowers and oratory, he has added
the clang of the anvil, the poind
ing of the gasoline engine, the ring
of the hammer and the song of the
saw.
The boys and girls who graduat
ed not only delivered their grad
uation speeches but demonstrated
them at the same time. One boy
made a natch ot cement and tormed
a block while talking, another
welded a tire for a wheel making
sparks'' fly over the chapel. A girl
made up a batch .of bread and
baked it, another measured a girl
and cut and tit a'dress. While the
audience was watching the bread
baker and dressmaker, another girl
demonstrated many practical and
useful articles the new rural school
teacher is required to make.
The climax of the commence
ment was when the aged mother of
Principal Jones came forth and
made broom on machinery at
one end of the platform and ex
plained the process and showed the
audience several different kinds of
brooms she had been required to
make in' order to - complete the
course. The local white friends and
throng of colored people burst into
enthusiastic applause when Princi
pal' Jones presented his mother her
diploma, atong with the other
graduates. From the Daily Clarion-Ledger
(Jackson, Miss.).
University
Notes
Prof. Howard Driggs of the Uni
versity of Utah lectured before stu
dents in the state university teachers'
college. He also gave demonstra
tion classes, using high school stu
dents and' fourth grade pupils from
the city schools. The auditorium
was filled at all times and the faculty
of the college reported that the dem
onstrations were of much profit to
all the students who witnessed them.
W. N. lirir .:ce, who will be head

larger number than usual of grad
uates are pursuing advanced work.
Instructors uniformly report that
these are manifesting a decidedly
serious spirit and are accomplishing
some excellent work. They are
scattered through many depart
ments on the campus. Some have
finished all their class work and
have only a thesis to prepare.
Mrs. Theodore Westermann. '96,
state university, who lives at Bronx
ville, N. Y., writes that the name of
the "Daughters of Nebraska in New
York" has been changed to the "Ne
braska Society in New York." Alt
Nebraska men and women are ad
mitted to membership, but the of
fices are still held by women. The
last meeting of the season was held
in Mav at the new home of Dr. and
Mrs. Hal Truman Beans (Elsie i
Beans) at Palisade, N. J. Thirty
were present, about one-half being
students and alumni of the univer
sity. Mrs. Dexter D. Ashley, 346

was re-elected president.
J. D. Gavenman, '21, state univer
sity, has accepted a position as in
structor on concrete highway wtork
at Schuyler, Neb. He will in this
work assist Associate Frof, C. E.
Mickey, who is consulting engineer
for the state, highway department.
Trof. D. D. Whitney of the state
university receives considerable at
tention in the last number of Science
when his article on state academies
of science is discussed by Paul B.
Boyd of the University of Kentucky.
Professor Whitney's study of the
academies in various states had
brought to light that the member
ship varied from 25 to 350; that an
nual dues ran from 50 cents t'o $10;
that annual receipts from state or
private sources varied from nothirig
to $1,500; that 4 out of 18 pay their
officers salaries, from $75 to $1,000,
and that the annual publications by
12 out of the 18 academies contain
50 to 600 pages. Professor Whitney
also attempted a classification as to
interest and vitality. Professor
Boyd's article is the result of read
ing the Nebraska man's report and
formed the president's address be
fore the Kentucky Academy of
Science last May.
