ADDRESS


10 the People OF Louisiana:
We, the undersigned, in Educational
Conferences assembled, adopt this dec
larati0n OF principles and issue this
appeal:
| We declare in favor OF the educa-
tiOn of the whole people; we appeal
for Individual, united, persistent and
systematic effort to place public
school of standard excellence and
term within the reach Of every edu-
cable child In the State.
| The industrial, economic, social
and political progress OF q common
wealth depends upon the intelligence
OF It's citizens. The education OF the
whole people is therefore q para
mount necessity.
| Lack of training and education
bars one not only from intelligent
citizenship, but from service render
ing to civil society, from participa-
tiOn in the more enterprising OF hu-
man industries, and from realizing in
full the good that human existence
cOnfers. In this day of enlighten-
ment. therefore, the right to an edu-
cation should be as inulienable and
unQuestiOned as the right to life, or
liberty. or the pursuit of happiness.
We believe the problem OF publiced-
ucati0n In Louisiana is ready for So
luton and that the solving will con-
fer upon our State more distinction
than can be attained through any
other civic movement which we as q
people may undertake.
We testify that progress in educa-
tional methods, system. and facilities
In the. recent past has been phenome-
nal with us; that this advance has
been promoted by individual effort,
has been fostered by legislative and
constitutional enactment, and has
been wisely directed by official au-
thOrity; that 1t is manifest In many
portions OF the State; and that q full
measure of honor is to be accorded
to all who have contributed to it.
Notwithstanding this advance, how
ever, Is per cent. Of our voters and 81
per cent. OF our population are yet
illiterate; our average length 0fschOOl
term is but six months; only 49 11-1O0
per cent of our educable children are
enrolled In public schools; our male
teachers receive an average monthly
salary Of only $42, and our female, of
$33 and the ability to supervise a
parish system OF schools finds recOg-
milton at our hands to the extent Of
an annual salary averaging only
1916 81.
While we rejoice at the advance
that has been made, we cannot smut
our eyes to the fact that the area of
advancement does not cover every
portion Of our State, and that Of our
educable children a quarter-million

OF NOVEL DESIGN.

Perhaps the most curious Easter egg
ever made was one ordered by South
African millionaire for his bride. 1t
was made in London. and was nine
feet long and eighteen feet in circum-
ference at the widest part. The shell
of this wonderful egg was made of
chocolate, most deliberately adorned.
1t was intended as wedding present,
and held the whole of an expensive
trousseau for the girl he was to mar
ry. 1t also had in it an enormous
quantity of superfine confectionery.
1t is said that the most costly Easter
egg ever made in the country was
ordered by railway magnate for his
little son. 1t was miniature car
riage, most exquisitely appointed. in
the shape of an egg. The exterior was
of the finest white enamel, and the
interior Of white. quilted satin. This
dainty little vehicle was drawn by
two tiny ponies in gold harness. A
boy would be hard indeed to please
II such beautiful present did rot I'LL
his heart with gladness. But the boys
Of the present day are luxurious.

THE EASTER EGG.

The Easter egg has always been one
Of the most popular features of the
Eastertide. 1t owes its origin, as
many of the popular Easter observ-
ances do, to pagan tradition. 1t was
held as symbolic of renewed life, and
in the Christian church is an old en-
blem of the resurrection. In Germany.
instead Of the Easter egg, is presented
an emblematic print, in which three
hens are holding a basket, wherein
are three eggs; whereas in Vienna
the Easter egg is composed OF silver,
mother of pearl, or Dronze, and filled
with knickknacks of some kind.
Formerly in England the Easter egg
was solemnly blessed by the priest,
and, being deliberately colored, was Oft
en- kept as an amulet. Easter eggs, or
pace or pask eggs as they used to be
called, have from time immemorial
been prepared much as they are today,
being boiled hard in water colored
with red, blue. or violet dyes, with
inscriptions, devices, or landscapes
traced upon them. Some OF the de-
signs are very beautiful
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1902-03-28
TO BE HAND PAINTED.

Anybody who can use brush at all
can make lovely and at the same time
novel eggs by taking little trouble.
The prettiest idea. and one which can
be carried out easily, is to take goose
egg and paint a little spray of violets
on 1t. These blossoms are symbolic
of the spring, and so especially ap.
propriate. Next make a little bunch
of paper violets. ending as described
before in bon-bon. These, of course.
are to fill the opening which has been
made to blow out the egg. Fill the
rest of the egg with candied violet
leaves. This makes as beautiful lit.
tie egg as the heart could wish, and
especially dear to the recipient as rep
resenting the work and thought of the
giver. A pretty variation of this no.
ton can be made by drawing roses
instead of violets. using q paper rose
for the stopper and filling the egg with
candied rose leaves. Endless designs
are shown In the confectionery shops
Of the cities, but they can be painted
At home Just Is we'll and will be more
valued. :.s

to nature, alike beneficent mother of
both Occident and Orient.
A deep religious sentiment governs
the Christian observance of Easter,
and In that particular the Chinese an
cestral worship is similar to it. The
fifth commandment of the Christian
decalogue is their first, Thou shalt
honor thy father and mother and no
sin in the eyes OF the plous Chinese
is so heinous as that of disobedienee
or disrespect to parents.
This filial piety IL the fundamental
virtue of their social life, and the re-
spect which son shows his father
does not end with life, but is still
shown to his memory long after his
death. Nor is the Difference merely an
individual custom. Time has hallowsd
it into a great national festival.
1t is called Using Ming. and occurs
in the spring of the year. The Chi.
nese do not make much ado about the
death of a child or young person,
but when father or q mother dies
especially If they have grown old,
great ceremony attends the burial,
from which proceeds one of their great
common proverbs. GAS much trouble
as a funeral"
There is nothing In the lore Of east.
ern religions to conflict with the hope
of life hereafter. Almost every faith
of the Orient has for its foundation
the theory of risen Redeemer. And
yet who can make answer TO these
momentous questions?

Celebrate the Day

In the Christian churches of all ma
tions Easter Is celebrated as the day
on which the Great Teacher, the Jesus
Christ, rose from the dead and thereby
contaminated his divine plan Of re-
deeming the human race. Since Eas-
ter Is so indissolubly associated with
the life of the Founder of the Christian
religion, one would naturally assume
that it is purely Occidental festival,
having it's origin in the west and be-
ing confined in observance to eau
casian countries. Yet, strangely
enough, in several of the countries of
the Orient, in India, in Japan, in Chi
ma, we find religious festivals bearing
wonderful northumberland
that were observed by pious people
thousands of years before the begin
ming of the Christian era laid the
power
The festival of India analogous to
the Christian Easter is called the
Feast of Buddha" in Japan it is
named the Feast of the Higon," while
in China they term the great spring
time celebration "The Ancestral Wor-
ship" All these holidays have deep
religious significance. for all have
their origin in the spirit of thankful
ness and rejoicing; that wherever man
lives he has ever greeted the death of
winter and the dawn of spring. In
this sense Easter, the Higon, the An
cestral Worship, are all more than
mere church days-they are mans
spontaneous outpouring Of gratitude

The Book of God.

Highest Of all is the book of God.
This book is the story of earth 8
noblest spirits. In hours when they
were filled with passionate hunger
for righteousness. and how they made
record for these great spiritual ex-
periences in their poems, psalms and
letters. No other book has such treas
ures of wisdom and culture. 1t
teaches us the path that leads to pros
perity and peace. 1t is the great
book, the book of hope and life, be-
