! The department. ri ngrcti.i.iry las received
/ a report from Colonel nNrenfultn, who has been
conducting a series OF rain producer ( expert
lncnt& in Texas. The paper deals much with
details ana vita tax OF chemical actions. The
chief difficulty tie eNperinIcnieis encountered
were the high WHO'S which prevail iii this sea
son i'll the arid area CT the Lcne star state.
Tie colonel reports that whenever they found
moisture i'll the air and were able 10 reach it
with their balloons aud kites they procured
rain. The rain sometimes came Immediately
aud sometimes it was delayed for several
hours, but they got 1t AL the same. The writer
does not conclude that his work has gone far
enough to establish it Individually, but the
problem is solved in his own mind. Tho $4,000
appropriated by congress for cxl erlmenting is
about exhausted, and it is not likely that any
additional work will be undertaken until an
other congress makes another donation.
Hat"n Rouge Advocate; The amount of mo
uev for school purposes under the proposes,
amendment to the constitution is s350oo q
year. II is the custom for opponents of tie
amendment to bClittlc this fund, and t. assert
that it is too small to do any good for education
The fact remains. however, that it will more
than double the State revenues for that par
pose, aud he corrcspondlngly beneficial to our
school system. We desire to present another
view of the matter. Suppose this fund should
be applied for say five years exclusively for
the purpose OF building houses and furnishing
them with modern cGnVcnicnceS for pupils.
Setting apart $4,000 year for New Orleans
each of the other ffty-eight parishes would
have $1,000 a year each, or S25 600 for the five
years. 1t is easy to see that this money would
build good scheolholscs IN every nrigl,borhood
i'll the state, and supply them With such an.
paratus, like globes, maps, charts, etc, as Tie
teachers would find useful inpartiny H.
struction to their pupils. WitA TIE erection
Of good schGolhOuSls, h"l: ne battle would be
already Wei, fUr Che people would thcu take
piite aud pleasure i'll promoting the cause OF
education everywhere throughout the State
The good to be done with this money, il ey-
pended i'll accordance with this su;s.t stion. is
apparent, and it would 10 dnuht be lhe best
use to make CT it rs Il starter. To these who
oppose a lottery license for other reasons, this
showing has weight, but if presents very
clearly the fact that $3.50 800 Il Year would be
bonanza to our inefficient and incomplete
school system.
