Teachers Institute.


During the past week, beginning
Monday at 10 a. m. teachers
institute was conducted at the
Primary school by Prof. B. c.
Caldwell. President Of the Normal
School. The work of the institute
was highly interesting, and will
result in great benefit to the parish
in the way of increased zeal, great

value and far reaching effects Of
these institutes can not be overes-

4 CIII'S FUTURE.
Depends on Manufactures. and
Education

The following extract from
communication to the Shreveport
LINES by Rev. w. T. Boiling
speaks for itself, and applies te
Lafayette with equal force. A
careful, thoughtful perusal shoulc
be given it by all:
L he future prospects of any
place for becoming a real city can
not be determined by what the
place takes up of things made else
where, but by what it sends out
as its own creations in the line OF
industry, and hence no place can
grow to and maintain the place OF
a prosperous city without being
largely a manufacturing point, and
thus the place OF creation of con.
stantiy increasing values and not
the number OF chin1neys to residen-
ce only but the number Of smoke
stacks as we'll must be the witness
to the pledge of the future and
permanent prosperity OF a great
commercial city. Then we must
remember that a city is not the
creation o. our generation; an in
telligent citizenship maintained is
a fundamental necessity to the
perpetuation of urban prosperity.
Otherwise the creations and a.cu-
mutations of one generation will
be dissipated by the next. De-
veloped brain must be the dyna-
mic force to developed values so
as to keep in motion adequate
cause TO produce continued pros
porous effects, and to this end
educational facilities not only for
home needs, but such as will draw
from abroad is a necessity, and
hence no truly great city can be
found void OF high grade schools.
The time has passed when brains
are not needed in all departments
of Industry pa the moral -e.e..l =.
L.vad cultivation is not necessity
in the texture of commercial life.
The banker and the baker, the
merchant and the mechanic alike
stand in need of these quantities
and the people who undertake to
permanently build without them
must be content to see only a htful
prosperity caused by natural ad-
vantages. followed by permanent
decay, while places with less of
such advantages but with more
brain force. grow into greatness
through the force Of expansion
which lies in these unseen but
powerful agencies to the develop
ment OF values. Cities are but
aggregated individualism and
hence take On the character and
processes Of the parts which make
up the whole. If ignorance pre-
walls then narrowness must be its
companion, and no broad founda-
ton can be laid on which to huild
for future development and per-
manent prosperity The men Of
money will be solely exercised to
make more for themselves with
out reference to the public veal,
and those without capital will move
in simple wage grooves with no
nobler aim than the bread and
meat involved in a job. Such
men can not build city beyond
the limits Of the view narrowed to
the horizon Of pure selfshness
which has not even a dream Of the
future Of the place beyond the per-
sonal gain Of the individual. re-
gardless Of the interests Of his fel-
low men.

Speaking for the rice section. fifteen years
since there was scarcely barrel Of CONNER
cial rice produced in what is knoan as the
prairie rice section. which extends 400 miles
along the Gulf coast and contains some OF the
most fertile lands on this continent. These
lands were then valued at 25 cents to sl-5o
per acre. There were few settlements and no
rice mills. Today it Is the rice-producing
center of this country. Unimproved lands
are worth on an average Of $3.50 per acre.
There are thousands of improved farms and
happy homes. Within the territory are twenty
rice mills. with a daily capacity Of
over 2Ooc0 barrels Of rice. score Of young
cities have sprung from the prairies. a-e
clamoring for harbors and public buildings.
and aie heralding themselves as the future
urban ccntcrs Of the South.
To illustrate the momentum Of progress, IL
may be stated that one firm has sold in n
tail way over 5000 acres OF land for actual
settlement since last July. Within the past
ninety days over Sl0,ce1.ooo Of new capital

RICE GROWING.

The recent combination by which a capital
of sl5,Op,ocO was added to the vast SUMS al

III increase in Texas acreage devoted TO the
cultivation Of the pearly grain has drawn
general attention to the crop throughout the
State. About thirty-iye years ago the guam

Nature to the Rescue.

Nature. however, came TO the rescue,
and for the last three days all advices
from the States that usually produce the
greater part of the country's surplus of
cereals have agreed regarding the i'm
provement in the stock situation, owing
to the falling Of copious rains.
This radical change started repur-
chasing movement in the stock market
that was in progress at the close of busi-
ness today, though there was some shad-
ing OF prices in the final dealings, owing
TO the usual taking Of profits by the trad
ing element at the close OF the week. The
Industrial list. with the exception O. Su-
gar Refining. makes better showing as
TO prices at the end Of the week than the
railway list.
At the same time the leading railway
stocks have, as a rule, recovered the
losses they sustained carly in the week,
and some of them, notably the Reading
issues, which were not directly affected
by the crop scare. have scored noteworthy
