Industrial Institutes Notes

At a special meeting of the
Board of Trustees of the South
western Louisiana Industrial In
stitute held the 10Th instant, af.
ter bearing all the evidence and
arguments in the case of the dis.
missal of Cadet Jules Felix, of
New Orleans, the following con-
illusions were reached:
a. That the President of the In
stitute emphatically disclaims that he
has ever Disseminated against a jew
ish student.
(2.) That the Committee of Jewish
citizens headed by Mr.. Corona, who
interested themselves in this case dis
claim any charge that there has been
any discrimination against Cadet
Felix as a Jew.
(3.) That therefore the case is
purely one of school discipline, to he
handled by the President and Faculty
of this institution.
a. That the cOmplainants in this
case have come before us in good faith.
believing that Cadet Felix had been
harshly and unjustly punished, but
that this arises from a miscOnceptiOn
of the terms and character of the pun
ishment and of the general application
of such punishments in institutions OF
this character.
(5.) That the punishment inflicted
upon Cadet Felix, while severe, is not
disgraceful and does not deprive him
of the privileges of the institution,
subject to the discretion of the school
authorities upon proper showing made
to them.
A petition of citizens was also

trict. Will Probably Have no
Opposition.

Last week Judge Julian MOu-
ton announced his candidacy for
the position Of Judge of the first
district of the first circuit court
of appeal, subject to a democratic
primary. Yesterday the circuit
court committee met in
Crowley to provide means for
the nomination of candidates.
Judge Mouton's candidacy has
been received with favor over the
entire district, nearly all of the
bars indorsing his candidacy.
The Crowley News of Nov. Is has
the following complimentary
mention of him:
Judge Julian MoutOn, of Lafayette,
has formally announced his candidacy
for the Office, subject to a democratic
primary. Judge Mouton has the in
dOrsement of several parish bars in
the district and is strongly backed by
the legal fraternity generally. His
excellent record on the bench of this
court from 1895 to 1904 has won for
him the confidence and esteem of the
entire district. His strict probity and
his recognized legal ability render
him eminently qualified for this high
judicial position. He was nominated
by a large majority in 1904 for the
Office, but the amendment then failed
to carry. The Judges friends are
confident of his nomination this time
by a practically unanimous vote and
just at present it looks as though
there will be no opposition to his can
didacy.

BrOuSSard Notes.

Both children and teachers
were glad to get back to school
work after a weeks holiday for
children and a weeks institute
work for teachers. The teachers
will go back to work with a
greater zeal, realizing that a great
deal of the future of the little
ones under their care depends
largely upon how they are taught
in school. Teachers realize that
mere book-learning is not all our
children should get out of school
life.

In response to an invitation a

The cadets living in the dor
mitory at the Industrial Insti.
tute held a smoker last Saturday
evening which marked a new
turn in the progress of the
schOOl-that of the voluntary
giving up of the use of tobacco
by the boys. For some time the
faculty and commandant have
actively discouraged cigarette
smoking among the cadets be-
cause of the results that were
all too surely showing in the
work the boys were doing, but as
long as the boys did not feel
themselves responsible for a
new order of things it was hard
entirely to eliminate the old.
Saturday evening the officers
met and discussed the question,
with the result that they drew
up a set of resolutions pledging
themselves to entirely abandon
the use of tobacco in any form,
and requiring any private to re-
port even the commanding OH
Ger if he saw an jnfraction of the
rule. A suggestion that such
privates as cared to should be in
vited to sign the same paper was
quickly carried out, and every
boy in the dormitOry except one
placed his name under those of
his superior officers. Then the
battalion marched to the Assemb-
ly Hall where they were congrat-
ulated by President Stephens,
whom they had sent for and by
Mr.. Martin and DR.. Jewell;
after which they. made a bonfire
on the campus and in it burned
all their pipes and smoking ma
terial. In few schools of like
grade can there be seen today as
high a resolve to hew to the line
of right and to abolish anything
that proves detrimental to a
splendid physical and intellectual
manhood.

WASHINGTON, Sept 30.-Consul
Haynes of Nanking sends an extract
of a report issued by the imperial Gus
toms authorities of Mengtse. 1t deals
with the dangers from disease and the
difficulties of various kinds confronting
the builders of the railway that is TO
pass through the Namti Valley. 1t
would seem as if China has her hands
full of evils not unlike those eneoun-
tered upon the isthmus of Panama The
report says:
The construction of the railway be-
tween Laol1ai and Yuannanfu-the
great enterprise to which all well wish
ers of Yunsn look for as one of the
means of permitting this province to
take her proper place in the markets
of the world-has been persevering gly
pushed in the face of great difficulties,
both financial and economic.
The vile climate of the Namti VAL
ley has levied heavy toll on those
who have dared to open its primevaI
jungles and gullies. The death rate
among the coolies imported from vari-
Gus parts of the empire and put to
work in this dreaded valley, may, with
out exaggera ton, be estimated at 5000
or 70 per cent Of the total number en-
pioyed on that particular section of
the line.

The date set for the first exhibition
has been changed owing to the re-
moval Of Nickery's gallery; but VIII
liam Keith, the first artist to an
nounce an exhibition, is ready. He
was never more ready in his life a~1

ever. it viii not be long before the
exhibition is a reality, as the gallery
is being rapidly moved over to its new
location on California street.
over Ia his Berkeley studio Keith
has been working right along ever
since the fire, except for a few days
after he met with a slight accident,
and now has another collection of pic
tures that robs Us of regret when we
think of the one that was burned.
The new collection is more individ-
usl than the old one. It is more CO.
herent in conception in spite of the
Heterogeneous character of the subjects.
I do not mean the forms of the sub
5ects or the objects that compose the
subjects, but rather the ideas and
moods of the subjects. Landscapes
are all more or less alike in FORM but
the Impressions the scene can convey
70 Us by the changes of light and at
mosphere and our own feelings are
numberless- It is this Impression that
we get when we look about Keith's
studio and realize his aims. We are
mace TO lGcl Lle simplicity OF
and at the same time to know the
meaning of her visible language"
After all, Keiths pictures are almost
entirely matter of feeling.
Were Mr.. Keith an artist with q
mind compounded OF more scientific
qualities and less real feeling he would
never attempt what he does. He has
an Unborn sense of style that carries
him to heights that would otherwise
be unattainable or else make his pic
lures caricatures of nature. II IL were
not for their subtle qualities and their
everlasting beauty we might feel when
looking at some of these pictures that
Keith had wandered into the unreal.
But never. He simply carries his con-
ception TO the highest point his pal
cite viii permit; he never goes be-
yond. No matter how green he may
paint a sky il is always a sky and
never gives the impression o. anything
else His wonderful sense of color
unity is supplemented by an intense
feeling. II these two balance there
is no limit to what an artist may ac-
complish, except the technical limita-
tions Of canvas and paint
The landscape reproduced today is Of
