LOUSIANA'S ENTERPRISE.
Al Appropriation Of 100000 for
the States Representation at
the Worlds Fair.


Special to the Record.
Worlds Fair Grounds, st.
Louis, July 9.-The legislature
of Louisiana has passed the bill
appropriating 100000 for the
state representation at the Loui.
siana Purchase Exposition This
is the full amount recommended
by Governor Heard. The Loui-
siana state building will be a re.
production of the famous Cabaldo
or town hall, erected in New Or
leans somewhat more than q
hundred years ago. in which the
transfer of sovereignty over the
great Louisiana territory took
place. But far the greater part
of the appropriation will be used
to bring to the attention of expo
sition visitors the many import
ant industries andindustrial pos
sibilities of Louisiana. The state
has awakened to new era of in
dustrial progress through the
development of it's rice culture,
lumber, Oil aud salt production.
While the old standard crop, cot
ton, must continue to receive a
large measure of attention, the
new diversity Of industry has
brought a new era of prosperity
to Louisiana, which has given
rise to the desire to have the
state better known. The oppor-
tunity to do this will come with
the great exposition of 1904.

fully completed a course ofstudy
in some secondary school which
has been examined by an officer
delegated by tie college, and its
course of study approved. The
question is not that Of the rela.
tive merits of the entrance, ex.
animation and admission by Ger.
tificate, which has already been
fully discussed IN the east. The
problem falls under three heads,
as follows:
"First, what is the pedagogical
effct of the entrance examination
upon the pupil; second, what is
it's effect upon the school and
third, what is it's effect upon the
college? The conclusion reached
is that entrance examinations
are pernicious TO the pupil, be-
cause it places the youth under
an unnecessary mental strain
and because it puts a premium
on cram ming; that they are inju-
rious to the secondary school be-
cause its curriculum has to be
adjusted to the point of view of
an examiner who is mainly in
terested in and familiar with the
more advanced phasesof his sub
ject, the integrity and rational
development of the secondary
school course thus being placed
in jeopardy; that they are not
satisfactory from the stand.
point of the college. as shown by
the fact that candidates admitted
by certificate seem to make bet
ter showing in their subsequent
work than do those admitted by
examination. On the other hand
admissions withou examinations
from schools inspected and ap-
proved by competent collegeof
fetal has decided advantages. In
the first place, the pupil is not
directly affected by the examina.
tion of the school, in the second
place the standared Of the school
is raised, and it's development
mulated along proper lines,
and finally the college itself is
furnished with students who
have had the opportunity of de-
veloping their abilities unhamp-
cred by the thoughts of an exam
|ination which is rather test of
their powers of discrete memory
than of their real proficiency and
knowledge"
One of the most interesting
meetings of the day was that of

The c. & A. surveyors who are
making preliminary survey for u
new road from Station, on
the Z. & A. road near Mexico, to
Old Monroe, in Lincoln county
and who have been camped near
Otto Lehnen's, five miles north of
here, broke camp and moved their
outfit and pitched their tents at
the iron bridge, near Gamma. The
company is making three sur veys
as they go. The first route ran
about six, the second about four
and the third two miles northeast
of Wellsville.
In an interview with Col. A. w.
Newton, locating engineer, he stat
ed to the writer Saturday morning
that their orders were to survey
all the territory between Cuivre
river and Wellsville and that he
found that the nearer they came to
Wellsvllle the better the grade,
and they would in all probability,
make another survey which would
parallel the Wabash from Littleby
to the coal chute northwest of
town, thence southeast to Bellhow-
er, TruXton and Old Monroe. AS
stated i'll Il previous issue of the
Optic News the object in building
this road is for the purpose of
shortening the G. & A. distance
from Kansas City to st. Louis
something over GO miles, and if
built (and we believe it will be) it
will be completed in time for the
Worlds Fair. AS now situated
the distance over the G. & A
