THE PRESS At BA Ton
ROUGE

Some people wonder why Baton
Rouge should have been selected as
the capital Of the State and find it
strange that the repeated attempts
to remove the capital from that
charming little city to larger
that the newspaper men Of Louis
lana have visited Baton Rouge they
will understand the reason of it all
They know now why it is that the
lawmakers of the State like Baton
Rouge. They have been there
themselves and they have enjoyed
the splendid hospitality of that
thoroughly Southern town. Baton
Rougeans know how to entertain
their guests. They know how to
make them feel at home. More
genrrons and hospitable people do
not live and we believe every mem
Der Of the Press Association will
bear us out in this statement. I'm
questlonhbly the convention re-
is the most successful in its history.
And the people of Baton Rouge
have made it SO. Every citizen,
from the governor to the humblest
resident Of the capital city, seemed
to have constituted himself into a
committee of one to look after the
pleasure and comfort of the visitors.
No city in the South possesses
more talent than Baton Rouge.
Its fine educational institutions
offer exceptional advantages to the
youths Of both sexes and the many
evidences Of refinement and culture
to be found there SOW that with
the people Of the States capital
intellectual development has earn
estly and successfully been striven
for.
1t was most happy thought to
hold the convention at Baton
Rouge. 1t afforded an opportunity
to the country press to ipd out
some thing about the different depart
ments of the State government.
1t brought the press and the public
servants together.
This meeting can not fail to be
fruitful of good results 1t has
served to impress upon the minds
of the pencil-shovers Of the coun-
try that this State is forging to the
front very rapidly. 1t has demon
strated to the press that it's efforts
tor the advancement Of the State
have not been exerted in vain and
that those who have been intrusted
with the public business have not
been derelict in the performance of
their duties.

of more pupils. Those parents
who hesitate to send their children
to this school do SO OILY through
ignorance. Their children could
not possibly be better treated than
they are here. The matron, Mrs.
a. G. Drake,is most estimable lady
and leaves nothing undone to
soften the lot of the little ones who
are placed in her charge. The cur
riculum Of the school is thorough
and complete and the graduates are
either given employment or sent
into the world equipped to work
out their own destiny. Many be-
come successful music teachers and
piano tuners and earn good salaries
Mss Mary S. Cross, principal
teacher, is an able educator and is
devoted to her work. She is work
ing hard to build up the institution
and to increase its usefulness. She
made tour of the State and sue
ceeded in pursuadlng a number of
parents 20 send their children to
the school. Lafayette is repre-
sented In the school by two boys.
Both are doing we'll and are highly
pleased. In conversation with The
Gazette they expressed great
fondness for the place. DR..
Magruder, the president, is one of
the oldest and most experienced
educators in the State.

there are well treated resulted in an
unprecedented increase in the mum
Der of patients, it having more than
doubled in eight years. The room
for white women has all been
taken and it is hoped that some
provision will be made for this
class. The State should make ade-
quste appropriations for the care
of it's insane. None should be per-
mitted to remain in the jails where
thew are thrown with the vilest of
criminals and not properly treated.
Louisianians can well point with
pride to the ''Hospital for the In
sane" at Jackson. 1t is such an
institution that merits the generous
support of the State government.
A more suitable spot does not exist.
A better man for the superinten-
dents Office than DIR. Hays can not
be found. A kindlier matron than
Mrs. Hays does not live.

INSTITUTION FORTHE DEAF AND DUMB.
Big-hearted John Jastremski has
done more to make louisiana
deaf and dumb children happy than
any other person in the State.
And it is not at all to be wondered
at that the children love him. He
loves them too. He is as kind to
them as he is to his own children.
Few people in Louisiana know
the extent of the work which is be-
ing done at this institution, and
not many are acquainted with the
manner in which the State cares
for those among her boys and girls
who can neither hear nor talk.
These unfortunate little ones are
taught to read and write and in
many cases are made to talk just
as the other children to whom
Nature has been more generous.

0UR STAzE INSTITUTIONS.

In his address of welcome to the
newspaper people Gov Foster said
that any citizen who visited the
State institutions in Baton Rouge
and the one at Jackson would re-
turn home prouder than ever of be-
ing citizen of Louisiana. The
governor was right.
What Louisianian can visit those
institutions and not be proud of
them9 Only the wretch who sees
no good in man and is dead to
civic pride.

LOUISIANA INSTITUTION FOR THE ED
UCATION OF THE BLIND.

LOUISIANA INSTITUTION FOR THE Ed
UCATION OF THE BLIND.
1t sh ould cert ainly be a source of
great relief and satisfaction to the
parents of blind children to know
that there is at Baton Rouge a home
where their afflicted offspring ma '
go to be educated and trained for
the duties of citizenship. Though
this school has been somewha It
hampered in the past by inadequate
appropriations, in recent years it
has made unprecedented Roadway.
There is not worthier institution
in this or any other State. Blind
boys and girls, who, if uneducated
would be forever incapable of earn
ing a penny are fitted for active
partici patton in the affairs Of the
world and in many cases instead
of becoming paupers they make
valuable members Of society.
The splendid band of music,
which helped to enliven the meet
ings of the Press Convention, shows
what those in charge of this school
are doing. This band, under the
direction of Prof. w. b. Clarke,
the blind musician, is one Of the
best in the State. The increasing
demands made upon the institution
from all sections OF the State has
5necessitated the erection Of another
large bnilding for the accommodations

THE INSANE ASYLUM.


A visit to the Insane ASYLUM a,
Jackson will convince anyone tn a,
nowhere in the United States are
the Insane more humanely and
scientifically treated than they are
in the State of Louisiana. There
is no better way to judge of the
civilization Of a State than by ascer-
tanning i'll what manner it cares for
terion Louisiana is unquestionably
at the top notch. There are doubt
less asylums that are more richly
endowed, but none are better man
aged. People generally have a
mistaken idea of the insane asylum
They think it is a sort of mad
| house where the unfortunates are
chained or behind bars and thu
the visitor to the different wards
must have a body guard as formid-
able as that of an Asiatic potentate
lest he will be pounced upon by
some irate lunatic in search of a
lost lover or pursuing villain.
This impression is absolutely err
roneous. On the contrary the Wis
itor is struck with an air Of com
| fort and cOntentment which is no.
ticeable everywhere about the
buildings and grounds. DR.. Geo.
A. B. Hays, the superintendent.
~ ;e
charge and one can we'll imagine
the discipline which must be upheld
| and the administrative ability which
must be exercised in order to main
state of usefulness.
The management has used good
judgment in the selection Of off cers
and attendants who are chosen
solely on account of fitness and
merit. One must visit the asylum
| 10 appreciate the WORK which DR..
Hays and his assistants are dong.
The asylum is a town in itself 1t
has its bakery, its ce-factory, its
laundry, etc. These are operated
mainly by inmates Of the institute on.
How we'll they do their work is in
comprehensive to an outsider 1t
looks more like large factory than
a place where are confined over
thousand men and women afflicted
with all forms Of INSANITY. The
attendants perform their duties with
such zeal and devotion that the I'M
fortunate, in tn cir charge seem to
their keepers more like companions,
which probably accounts for the
Cheerful! appearance Of the inmates.
The attendants can, by acts and
words, very much lessen the afflictlon
of the insane in their charge. In
the ball which was given for the
patients the attendants and some
of the visitors participated and 1t
was impossible to tell the sane from
the insane. The light fantastic was
tripped by the lads and lassies of
the institution with as much grace
and elegance as can be seen in the
swell social fun ctions Of the unin-
terdicted population-and they APP
peared to be just as happy. 1t is
SAID that music soothes the diseased
mind and with the soft strains Of
the violin the most turbulent spirit
can be conquered. This is no
doubt true in many cases.
During the last year needed i'm
provements were made to the
buildings. A four story building
was constructed for the white men
and story added to, the colored
male and female buildings. An ice
plant with cold storage is now one
of the modern attachments, an i'm
proved bathing and heating appar-
atus has been introduced and sew
eral other improvements have been
added during the year. The as

State. They learn to read, write
and cipher and are given as
good an education as is afforded in
the common schools of the State
They are taught some trade and
given every opportunity to make
of themselves self-supporting mem
bers of society. The boys are
taught shoemaking, carpentering,
Misunderstanding, printing. Speci-
mems in these lines of work show
skilful and thorough training. The
shoes made by the boys will COM
pare favorably with those made by
journeymen. The same can be
said of the furniture which is seen
in the reading room, parlor and
dining room. In the printing de-
partment the progress made by the
boys is very satisfactory. Their
weekly paper, The Louisiana Pcli
| can, is neatly printed and well
edited and shows skill and talent of
no mean order.
The visitor to this institution can
not fail to be impressed with the
cleanliness and good order noticea-
BILE everywhere. The dormitories,
the classroom, the workshops the
dining room, the kitchen, are all
scrupulOusly clean. With such
surroundings it is not strange that
he lie. oh II
as the birds in the air.
A remark able fact in the history
of this institution is that since the
induction into the superintendent
of DIR. Jastremski not single pu-
pill has died while in attendance
This extraordinarily healthful re-
cord is due no doubt to the sani-
tary regulations enforced by the
superintendent. The clearly con-
dition of all the buildings. the per-
feet ventilation of the rooms and
the frequent ablutionary exercises
of the pupils, are in a great meas
ure responsible for the splendid
health of the children.
Under DIR. Jastremski's manage
ment the school has prospered as
it never did before. He is not only
the kindliest Of men, but is evidently
a most excellent disciplinarian and
manager.
Before concluding this brief ar
ticle We wish to speak of two Of the
bright pupils of the Institute. They
are Lillian Matthews, aged IL years,
and Anna Heard, aged IA years.
These little girls are certainly elo-
quent tributes to the thorough and
conscientious instruction that they
have received from their teacher,
Miss Hettie l. Patterson AL
though deaf and dumb they are
just as proficient in their studies as
exceptionally bright children who
are able to hear.
The marvel Of the school is Louis |
baron, who, though deaf, dumb |
and blind has been taught to write
and to do most skilful pieces of
~ small steamboat,
which represents months and
months of incessant toll, is a mar
velous production of this wonderful
young man. This unfortunate has |
memorized the Lords Prayer which |
he writes on black board I'm |
der scientific teaching, he has been
given intellectual vision and now
he may see beyond the skies the |
sunlight of eternity. From
wretched existence Of darkness he
has been transferred to another |
world and now in his breast springs |
the hope Of immortal life. Though |
blind, he sees his Creator; though |
deaf, he hears the music of the |
heavenly choir, and without the ia |
Guilty of speaking he addresses
himself to the Lord in His own
prayer.

THE L. S. U. AND A. & NJ. COLLEGE.
ported by the benefcence of the
State, is situated just out of the
limits of the corporation of Baton
Rouge on a highland by the bank
of the Mississippi. The grounds
and campus seem to have been
designed by Nature for the very
purpose for which they are used.
1t is an historical spot, the build
ings used as barracks by the cadets
having done the same service when
there was a regular army post at
Baton Rouge. Military men who
afterwards became distinguished
generals and statesmen once lived
there. 1t was the residence Of
Presiden, Taylor and Gen. Sher-
man was superintendent of the
University at the outbreak of the
Civil War. But it is not only
"reminiscences Of historic periods
that will interest the visitor to the
University. There are many evil
dences of modern progress and
science. The Laboratories of the
chemical, agricultural and mech an
lcal departments are among the
best in the South. The school,
which is admirably conducted. is
an agricultural, mechanical, literary
and military institution. 1t owns
nearly 800 acres of fine lands which
are mostly cultivated. The mill
tary feature is Of incalculable value
to the discipline of the cadets, be-
sides imparting useful knowledge
Of military affairs to the future citi-
Gems of our State. The campus, on
which the battalion drills are held,
is one of the finest in the Union.
The authorities of the University
received the members of the Asso-
pleasure in showing and explaining
to them the workshops and labora-
tories. The University is about to
complete a most successful term
LIZ 1'tSiNiahIS oCihS ouC % tfle
largest in its history. Under the
splendid direction of Col Thos
d. Boyd, strict disciplinarian
and a gentleman of fine admins
trative ability. the school is making
rapid strides toward perfection.
Strange 1t is that in some parishes
the people are only beginning to APP
preciate the worth of this most ex-
cellent institution which has al
ready sent out to battle with the
world hundreds of young men who
have arisen to prominence in the
various professions and trades.
Much more could be said of this
splendid university, but suffice to
say that Louisiana can we'll pride
itself of having within its borders
one of the best literary and scien-
tific schools in the South.
The present and preceding Dem
ocratic administrations have fos-
tered the l.. S. U. and A & Nj.
College with a liberal hand and,
no doubt, incoming administra-
tons will continue to make all ne
cessary appropriations, till we can
boast of equaling, if not surprising, |
the finest State school on this con-
tinent.
