tally 1onian in race, with strains Of
other Hellenic stocks. besides some
blood that was not Hellenic This
mixed origin Of the inhabitants is
doubtless one Of the causes nf their
versatile vet we'll balanced character
which distinguished this people
above all other branches of the
Hellenic family, and perhaps above
all peoples Of the world Of which
there is any record. They are
spoken Of as many-sided and i'm
aginative people who developed
every part of their nature, and
reached an excellence IN art, litera-
ture. craftsmanship and philosophy
that has never been surpassed and
stands as an everlasting monument
to their greatness. Some Of their
philosophy was SO potent and far
reaching and asserted with such
positiveness that even we of this
day are but beginning TO realize
how juvenile we are in its contem.
plation, and in the contemplation
of a civilization that produced
Plato.
Our presen,-day methods Of
education are slowly but surely
bringing US up to this standard Of
the Athenians. We are becoming
a "many-sided" people. We now
not only educate the head, but the
hand and heart as well. Modern
education means moral, intellectual
and physical development-to be
more specific, also the education
OF nerve force and energy; tina, is,
the proper direction of nerve force
a nd energy. Coordination is the
k eynote. To make the hand ex-
p ress perfectly or as near TO perfec-
ton as possible what one feels but
does not always know how to give
to i. the great desider-
atum--and all education should
have this for its aim and end.
One of the most importan, fac
tors for the Consumnation Of this
plan is the up-to-date manual train
ing school, or Industrial Institute,
a shining example of which we have
in our midst, and a school if we
mistake not, which is destined in
the not very distant future to rank
next in importance and worth to
none in the South. Work at the
Institute is progressing with wonder
full rapidity, despite the many diff
culties tn at must necessarily be met
in inaugurating the work of new
school.
Some little difficulty was expe-
rienced this week with the steam
heating plant out there, and as the
weather was unusually cold and
came on SO suddenly work was
somewhat retarded.
There was no school on Wednes-
day and not whole days session
on Monday because of the made
quate steam heat.
This week the morning exercises
we're conducted by DR.. Stephens.
Wednesday mornings program was
particularly interesting as it con-
sisted of the reading by DR..
Stephens of the names Of those who
passed in their class standing during
the past month.
Manager Meriwether of the foot
ball team has been quite busy max
ing the arrangements for the game
which will take place at Opelousas
to- day. The contest will be be
tween the Institute team and the
boys Of the St. Landrv High School.
The railroad company will attach
special coach to the train which
leaves the station a, 9 O'Clock this
morning and will give reduced fare.
A large delegation will go from the
Instirote 20 "root" for the boys and
it is hoped they will be joined by
many people Of the town. The
lineup of the Institute team will be
as follows: Pothier Voorhies, cen
ter; w. Tilley, right guard; Fred
VOORHEES,. left guard; Claud Mar
tin, right tackle; Henry Young,
