State Printing Proposal and Newspaper Advocacy
The legislature is urged to memorialize a law mandating state printing be done within the state. Such plants could offer low prices rivaling larger nonstate concerns. Newspapers contribute to national and local prosperity by building up communities, yet receive little of the benefits they help create.
State Normal for Mississippi Teachers Training
The legislature should fund a state Normal school to train teachers. Well trained educators deserve better salaries, as many capable women earn less than cleaners, and teachers lack normal training. Invest in teaching to secure the state and nation's future by giving today’s children a fair chance.
