EDUCATION
The public educational system of the state consists of a common school system
in which each county is a school-district, and in which many of the municipalities
constitute separate school-districts. This system is maintained at the public
expense, by state, county, and school district; and separate education facilities
are extended to all of the educable children of both races in the state. In addition,
the state maintains the Industrial Institute and College for girls, at Columbus, and
maintains, in large part, the University at Oxford, the Agricultural and Mechanical
College at Starkville. For coloured students the state maintains the Alcorn
Agricultural and Mechanical College near Brunisburg and Rodney College near
Rodney, both in Claiborne County.
