day last, we had occasion to visi
the Attakapas Sanatorum. ius
established by DR.. T. T. Woolf in
the former Gilmore residence, a
large wo-story frame buildin Q
standing on spacious square OF
ground abounding in pretty ever
green trees and shrubbery. The
building with its large rooms, high
ceilings, splendid ventilation, pretty
surroundings and central location is
splendidly adapted to the purpose
intended. DR.. Woolf has had the
interior thoroughly renovated
freshly painted, papered. carpeted
and furnished throughout with neat
iron bedsteads and new bedding
and furniture; and together with all
the latest and finest appliances for
surgical operations and scientific
treatment of diseases by electricity,
compressed air, heat and cold,
baths, ETC., make it an institution
that Iberia can justly feel proud Of,
and one that should command the
good will and best wishes of everv.
one for its successful future DR..
WOolf announces that il is open to |
any reputable physician wno may
desire to take patients thereto, o
that this broadens it's field and trulv
makes it an Attakapas institution.
DR.. Woolf's long desired aim is
accomplished; we congratulate him

l.. S. u. Reveilie: The National :
Review, commenting on public ,
schools, makes the assertion that c
beauty is necessity In the town .
schools. 1t shows what little knowl-
edge the English 'sbroad school"
children in the towns have about s
natural objects. and insists with !
much force that the great problem {
for these schools to solve is how to t
the child with beautiful +
things to compensate, in some meas b
ure, for his loss of the first-hand Il
acquaintance with nature; that Y
school which aims at the develop II
ment of the whole nature of child "a
should appeal to his sense of l
beauty. 1t describes the interior Of et
a model school as being beautiful, cl
HE coloring harmonious, the pic m
ures good, and the flowers carefully p1
ended. No untidy maps hanging "a
IN the walls or bad and crude pic hi
ures should be allowed to misdirect &c
he child's taste. And also that tn
egular excursions into the country br
hould form part of the education IN
# the town schools. OF
