Rice, which is one of the cheap.
lest and at the same time one of the
most wholesome food products O.
the soil, is now grown in grea'
quantities in Louisiana, Texas ane
parts of the south Atlantic coast
states, yet the demand for thi:
nutricious food for home consump
ton is very largely confined to the
limited few who have acquired the
art of properly preparing it for the
table. Rice may be cooked ir
many palatable styles but the basis
of all is the boiling, steaming anc
drying which when properly done
leaves each grain whole anc
thoroughly done. A family ot
several persons may obtain ample
nourishment at a single meal for IL

A few year ago the Louisiana
rice farmers spent a lot of money

kitchens in several northern cities

holders to the wide difference be-
tween properly and improperly
cooked rice, and many housewives
profted by the opportunity to learn
with the result that in many north
ern homes rice is now a part of the
regular diet whereas not long ago
it was either not used at all or at
best only occasionally.
Recently the New Orleans Pro-
greSSive Union has been making
some investigations into the distri-.
button of rice grown in Louisiana
and Texas, and learned to its sur
prise that much of the annual crop
is shipped out of the country, to
Porto Rico land other places, and
that the amount of rice consumed
per capita in Louisiana, Texas,
Mississippi and Alabama, states
near the source of production, is
relatively small. 1t was then de-

Paper Read by Mrs. E X. White
Before the Rankia County
Sunday School Gonven-
tiOn.

The Sunday school is a living
factor, possessing "a personality,
and has individuality that influences
the lives of all who come within
reach of her organization. May we
not in truth draw an analogy be-
tween the distinct body and the
organized? In the final analysis
infuence is personality. Beginning
with this as major premisss we will
parallel the individual life and the
organized life. In breathing or
physical organisms the smaller cell
life makes up the different organs;
these organs together make up or
constitute the whole. This body
could not be whole did any organ
fail in the work assigned; but each
part of this complex organism must
do its work we'll, else confession
enters, and perfect organization
cannot be effected. But granted
that we have obtained for our
viewpoint the ideal, we have a
perfect human life. possessing
capacity for sending out many
forces, coming in harmony with
life at many points. The project
ing power being well established,
these forces not only broaden the
single life by gathering in soul
nourishment; but they dispense,
before they may take in. In other
words. we may live only as we
help others to live. 1t is possible
TO exist and yet not live; life, and
life more. abundantly, is a gift we
may all have. Life begets life in
the higher realm, as in the material
world, and we teach in the person
al life more by what we are, than
by what we do or say, and this ex-,
istence if it would be a life, living
in posterity, must distinguish itself
byideass which mould.
Thus, in an analogous way, the
Sunday sctlooimay possess an in

herent force which is uplifting,
'reaching high planes of thought and
action, leading outside seulS to seek
the same ,leyel, all unconsoiously
lat may seem, just as the personal
soul goes out and brings in touch
l4other souls by being what itlis. In
the personelle of the Sunday school
each student is a cell, the cells
make up claSs-life, the classes make
up the body. Through ample
organization these factors reach out
and come in harmony with many
points. OF course we all under
stand that organization is system;
lack of it is confusion; but do we
carry this principle far enough9
For lit gives results as far as lit may
60, and especially does it do so in
class-work. We must guard
against the wheels of machinery
being visible however, but results
must tell theirspresence.
The Sunday school is the noblest
development of the nineteenth
century. The Sunday school is
old; We must go back to Isreaa for
its tap-root, but the modern SUM
day school is comparatively new
1t is receiving more attention today
from men of Thought and scholar
ship than ever in the past. 1t has
a literature distinctly its own. 1t
is worth the highest endeavor of
Gods choicest men and women,
and while it is for the old as we'll as
for the young. it is more to win the,
young for Christ than the old, and
just SO long as this great fact
stands, just SO long will its impor-
tance be recognized; for childhood
is the battle-ground of the kingdom.
One of the greatest forces for
character-buiIding is, of course. the
Sunday school, and the greatest
factor of the Sunday school is the
teacher. Granted that we have

of the Sunday school iii the same

Directions for Locating and
Maintaining Agricultural
High Schools.
High Schools.

| DclOre the county school board
locates a school the members should
appear before the board of super
visors and ascertain if they favor a
tax levy which together with the
81 900 per annum to be received
from the state, will support the
school. If the school board finds
that the income from the town or
village where the school is to be
located will be sufficient to support
the school without the tax levy,
then no levy should be made.
The following questions concern
ing those schools have been asked
the department:
|. May girls and boys attend
| Yes.
2. What will be the qualifica-
tions for entrance? All pupils of
the county who have satisfactorily
completed the common school
branches are entitled to admission
8. Will the number of pupils be
limited to certain. beats in the
county? No, all county pupils
may attend.
4. Must the school be located al
a public schools, Not necessarily.
i f. 5. May the common public
school be run in connection with
the agricultural high school? Yes,
if the local board of trustees is
willing for the agricultural high
school board to have full charge OF
the high school and elect principal
who shall have jurisdiction over
both the common school and the
high school. However, the locaI
school board should have full con.
troll of all the grammar school grades
6. Is it necessary for the schoo
to be located on the twenty acres
of land? No, but it should be near by.
7, Is it necessary for the county
to vote a tax? Yes, unless the in.
come is sufficient without it.
s. What kind of buildings are
necessary If the community bid
ding has a commodious, well
! equipped building, it will not be
! necessary to erect one, but a COM
i Portable dormitory must be erected
to accommodate at least forty board
ers and the board must be given
. at actual cost. If a new building is
} necessary it should not cost less
| than $1,000. Plans will be furnished
4 by the departmental education.
8. Is it legal to locate the school
within the corporate limits of a
town in connection with the town
schools? Yes.
j 10. Can it be run in connection
with a school established by the
consolidation OF two or more rural
schools? Yes.
| IL. What is the length of the
/ school term9 At least seven
i months. 1t should be nine months.
4 10. Whot tuition will be re-
! quired of pupils who are more than
! twenty one years of age? This is
a matter for the board to determine.
| Fortunate indeed will be the
community which secures one OF
the agricultural high schools. Not
only will the community be in
tereSted, but the entire county will
take pride in.seeing that this school
prospers. 1t will Of course be the
property Of the county, and the
people will naturally work for its
upbuilding. Good schools are nee
essary to the development of any
community, and such school
having the Support of the state,
and the town in which it is located
as well as the county it will add
more to community than any.

city, town or village securing one
of these schools will prosper as
