COUNTRY SCHOOLS.

How They Could BE Made More At
tractive.
Every country school should have q
small garden-a patch-no matter how
small, in which the children could plant
their flowers, vegetables, watch their
growth, investigate by actual expert
ment what the soil will produce, says
q writer in the New Orleans Times,
Democrat. There should be gathered
Ill possible information about the
township In which the school is iocat-
ed, the older pupils making map To-
eating farms and roads, specimens Of
every variety Of timber grown In the
township, the productions Of town.
ship. These things could be done grad
ually, and after awhile the children
who could tall you all the productions
Of Australia aud Africa would also be
able to tell you what is produced and
what might be produced at home.
Let the school grounds be inclosed;
see to it that the school board has q
title to the land and building, then
plant trees Of every variety and kind
that will grow in Louisiana. The coun-
try school should be the social center
where the people should meet often to
discuss matters affecting the general
interest, such as roads, rural mail de-
livery and matters in general. If the
house and grounds are attractive and
there is a sort Of experimental garden
conducted by the children, it will draw
the parents and the time would not be
distant when the boys would invesd-
gate the soils and possible plants for
profit
The school san easily be made the
distributing center Of farm bulletins.
Every school should have a library,
and not community is too poor to
make start-a couple of dollars will
buy number of books.
Let the country schoolhouse become
the center OF every neighborhood i'm
provement and the boys and girls will
become interested in home and its prof
liable development rather than rush to
town to stand behind store counters at
a bare existence because they can en-
Soy park or the sight Of a pretty gar
den and pretty pictures and now and
then an attractive show. Through the
public schools town can reach
splendid development.
