SUMMER NORMAL

pirate $4oO for Normal.

The State Institute Board met in
Baton Rouge last Monday and desig-
mated places for holding Summer Nor
mai schools this year. Four schools
were esta blished for white teachers at
the following places: New Orleans,
Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Ruston
and four schools for negroes at
Shreveport, Alexandria, Baton Rouge
and New Iberia. The schools will run
a session of nine weeks and will prob
ably be the best and most effective ef
fort ever made along this line. not
only in point of time devoted, but in
the high standard set for the profess
sional efficiency of public school teach
ers of the State.
The schools at Lafayette and Rus
ton will be for beginners and holders
of second and third grade certificates.
DR.. Stephens will have charge of the
school at Lafayette and Prof. Keeney
at RustOn. At New Orleans and
Baton Rouge the standard will be for
college graduates and holders of first
grade certificates and the schools will
be conducted respectively by Preset
dent Craighead of Tulane and Presi-
dent Boyd of L. S. o.. These schools
will open about June and the one at
Lafayette bids fair to be one of the
most successful in the State in point
of numbers as we'll as work accom-
plished. Some three or four hundred
teachers and students will in all likeli-
hood be in attendance and the people OF
Lafayette should arrange for their
reception and accommodation. State
Supt Harris has sent out circular
letter to all School Boards asking
that $500 additional be allowed per
month to every teacher who shall take
the entire course prescribed.
The Progressive League and citi-
zens of Lafayette are already moving
| in preparation for the opening of the
school and the City Council has ap'
propriated S4OO in aid of the move
ment. 1t is to be hoped that nothing
will be neglected to make the Summer
Normal at Lafayette the most sue
cessful ever held in the State.

Y. N. c. A.
Meeting to be Held at Masonic Tenn
ple Next Sunday to Discuss
Organization.

Some years ago an effort was made
by a. few of the prominent citizens
of this town to organize Young
Mems Christian Association. In
seeking to perfect this organization
they felt that something was needed to
be done to counteract the influences
that were leading so many young men
astray. Unforeseen conditions arose
which made the organization at that
time impracticable and since then 40
definite steps have been taken in that
direction. 1t is also worthy of note that
since then even worse conditions have
arisen in our town which is a still
greater argument for the organization
of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation. Sunday afternoon at meet
ing held in the Masonic Temple by
a few young men che matter was dis
cussed fully and they concluded to
hold a special meeting at the same
place next Sunday afternoon and In
VlLC Iuc CltIZcuS VI tAC SOWA " AAOSS
with them.
1t hardly seems necessary to dis
cuss the need of such an organization
in our city. Unfortunately this mat
ter has ben neglected too long. A
business man remarked to the writer
of this article recently, Our young
men need to be better prepared for
places of responsibility and the de-
moralizing influences that surround
them are not conducive to that end. y
When Sunday comes young men are
seen loafing on the streets or going
to places of amusement that do them
no good. Something ought to be pro-
vided for them. In many states the
railroad companies recognize this fact
and assist materially in the Y. NJ
C. A. work. In many cities the large
department stores provide places Of
amusement for their employees and
seek to keep them away from harmful
influences. In the country towns
there Is but little Of that sort Of work
done. It ID the purpose Of this or
ganizatiOn to meet such conditions.

NEGRO HOBO KILLED.
Fell From Train at Landry's Switch.
The Body Buried Where Found.

Tuesday night an unknown negro
hobo fell from the train at Landry's
switch and was instantly killed. From
all indications the negro was drag
ged some distance; his neck was
broken and the body much bruised.
Deputy Sheriff Louis Butcher inves-
tigated the case and concluding that
death was accidental, had the body
buried on the spot. Nothing was
found that might lead to the identifi-
cation of the negro.

Embroidery Replacing

Women who love daintiness should re-
joice that the day Of the indelible-ink

Of luxury has led US to relegate it to
proper uses. and 70 lend our energies to
more pleasing lettering for our vari-
Gus belongings.
We know that It consumes most Of
AMI more than our spare moments. this
constant enbroidering Of initial or mon
oEram; bun there IS a thrall about t..
and the average housewife viii find time
to initial either her hOusehId or her per-
sonal linen, while the truly enviable one
makes time for both.
A simple cartouche effeCt embroidered
about a single letter makes n variation
from The usual which is very attractive.
This is equally true in the case of eth
er lingerie or napery, although a slight
ly different style might be selected for
such widely different uses. Designs of
fitting daintiness for lingerie may seem
Of insufficient dignity when seen upon
more substantial napery. but this, OF
course. IS largely a matter Of individual
taste.

Girls Like to ''DreSS Up"
In big Sister S" Clothing

The theory that It IS only little girls
who Ike TO dress up and play a part
is a false one.
Masculine superiority and indifference
have been proven falIible. Little girls
have found infinite delight in the cast
on or borrowed garments OF their big
sisters or have drawn fascinating
treasures from forgotten trunks slowed
away in the attic They have not
dreamed Of possessing such gorgeous
raiment as is now possible for their
small brothers.
The supposedly Indifferent ones do
not pretend To hide their delight in the
ideal chauffeurs, soldiers-anything that
heart may desire. Parents, fortunately,
find the suits almost as desirable as do
the small boys, for most Of them are
made OF heavy khaki cloth, so that they
are seTiceable for play suits as we'll as
attractive.
