School Teachers to Meet at Lafayette.

The Chief is in receipt of commu-
nication from Prof. J. L. Rusca, prln-
cipal of Ascension Academy and par
ish manager of the Louisiana State
Public School Teachers Association,
requesting us to call attention to the
fact that the annual meeting OF the
Associ alton will be held at Lafayette
December II to 30, 1904. The circular
announcing the meeting was published
in full on the eighth page OF The Chlef
of Oct. 1, and the information con-
tanned therein will prove of valuable
assistance to teachers who propose to
attend the convention. Lafayette is
making preparations to take care OF
her guests in the best possible manner,
and some of the features planned Tor
the entertainment OF the visitors are
reception, visit to the Industrial In
stitute, an excursion TO the oil wells,
an athletic meet and an excursion to
Avery's Island. A rate of one fare
for the round trip has been offered on
all the railroads from any point IN the
state, and the Southern Pacific will
run special train from New Orleans,
reaching Lafayette Tuesday morning,
Dec. q. 1t is also expected to ar
range for special on the L. and +.
that will leave Shreveport the morn
ing of the 9th and combine at Alexan-
dria with a special over the Iron
Mountain from Monroe, arriving At
Lafayette about noon. Considerable
rivalry has been manifested BY various
parishes as to which shall have the
honor of enrolling the largest per cent
of its teachers as members of the AS
ISOLATION, and it is to. be hoped that
Ascension will be among the leaders
in this respect. Concerning this point,
Prof. Rusca says: cit is unfortun ate
that Ascension has been so poorly
| represented in the past at these great
educational gatherings, but I do not
attribute it to lack Of professional
spirit or enthusiasm, but rather to the
| fact that the small salaries paid in
this parish do not justify the teachers
in mourning the expense incidental to
the trip. / believe that the good to be
derived from spending three days at
an enthusiastic meeting OF teachers
coming from all parts of the state to
discuss school problems will more
than compensate for the small expense
necessary in attending the conven-

Short Winter Course In Agriculture.

Elsewhere in today's Chief will be
found the advertisement of the Louis
lana State University and A. and NJ.
College, at Baton Rouge, announcing
short winter course in agriculture, to
begin Monday, Jan. 2, 1905, and con-
tinue for ten weeks. This course has
been primarily designed for the pur-
pose OF, offering to persons who are &C
tually engaged ia farming in Louisiana
and who cannot spare the time or af-
ford the expense to complete the reg
ular four-year course an opportunity
to become more familiar with the best
methods of farm practice. The Uni
versity has in the past endeavored to
do all in its power towards the up
building of agriculture in Louisiana.
Each year members of the agriculture
faculty have been il attendance upon
Farmers Institutes, and many lee
lures have been delivered upon timely
topics of interest to the farmer. Such
educational measures are important,
but fail to give all the necessary in
formatio because Of the lack OF time.
The University realizes that farming
affords more independent mode of
living than any other vocation, and
that anyone can earn an ample sup
port from the soil; but it also recog-
nizes the accepted fact that in these
days of close competition and specula-
ton, it is absolutely necessary that
the farmer, as well as the merchant
should be thoroughly posted, if best
results are to be obtained. II we see
two farmers living side by side and
cultivating similar soils under similar
conditions, and one is prosperous and
contented, and the other in debt, with
houses and barns and fences dilapi-
dated, soil impoverished, and the pro-
prietor disheartened and rebellious, we
cannot resist the conclusion tn at there
is as much difference in the manage
ment as in the condition of the two.
With such thoughts in mind the short
winter course in agriculture was out
lined and each subject arranged in
such manner as to have 3 direct
bearing upon the practical operations
of the farm. All Of the subjects Sc
lected are Of interest to the farmer
who desires TO improve his methods OF
farming, and every effort will be made
to present the various topics ia an in
strnctive and practically helpful man
ner. For further information address
Col. Thos. D. Boyd, president of
the University.

Miss Helen Pitkin's Novel.

The J. B. Lippincott Company has
published a novel by Miss Helen Pit
kin, Of New Orleans, whose activities
Ia newspaper work and in the social
life OF her own city have made her
name familiar to very large number
of people. This story, which bears
the title San Angel by Breyet, is
Miss Pitkin's first novel, and its ex-
traordinary study Of character and
distinct literary quality will recon-
mend it strongly to readers OF critical
taste.
san Angel by Brevet'' is love
story of New Orleans Of the present
day and ia certain phases suggests
Mr.. Cables stOld Creole Days.
Miss Pitkin has blended in her story
the lazy charm, the passion, and the
superstitious strain which characterize
Creole society, and has given these
the picturesque setting of aristocratic
life in New Orleans.
The announcement of the publication
of "An Angel by Brevet' will be of
very particular interest not only to
the people who have the pleasure of
knowing Miss Pitkin personally, but
to vast plumber TO whom she has en-
deared herself by reason Of the gra-
cious and noble work she 50 grace
fully performed for many years as
member Of the staff OF the New Or
leans Times Democrat. Concerning
this talented southern woman, The
Harlequin says: Imaginative, OF keen
insight, tender sympathy and buoy ant
helpfulness, she should, in such an
outcroppine of herself as a book rep
resents, give us something entertain
ing, charming and purposeful. At an
early date The Chief will publish q

the meantime it Is our sincere hope
that the book viii be favored with a
liberal need Of success.

of paint, and bought by price; paid
cents less than ours; got sslead and
zinc' paint; but the lead was sulphate
OF lead, not carbonate. Sulphate
costs about half; and covers about
half.
That paint was adulterated about
six times as much as the cents paid
for. He saved cents; and it cost
him 80
Oh, no; it cost him more than that;
we forgot the labor. Can't work it
out exactly; don't know how long it'll
wear.

was twice as much as his s'savingn
cents.
It was thin, too; some loss there;
don't know how much.
There was too much dryer in it. The

didn't.
Taking it altogether, he didn't make
much by that 5 cents.
