Preparatory Departments at Two State Institutions May Be Abolished
Daily Argus Special notes the Mississippi legislature passed a bill to abolish the preparatory departments at the Industrial Institute and College for Girls in Columbus and the boys' school at Starkville. The move would end the need for new dormitories and cut state costs by about 200 dollars per student, shifting 813 pupils to high schools or agricultural schools. The reform aims to realign the state’s education toward agricultural mechanical and technical training.
