WOODMEN PICNIC
WAS A SUCCESS

The Woodmen picnic at Mammoth
Springs yesterday, arrangements for
which have been in progress for the
past two or three weeks, was a great
success in every respect.
The day was ideal, it being the first
time for several days that no rain
fell, and the day in the open in the
cool of the woods was enjoyed i'm
mensely.
There were choice viands in abund-
ance, and those who are judges Of
good cooking say the barbeeued meat
was excellent.
All in all, the picnic was more pleas
ant than had even been hoped for
and the Woodmen deserve much cred
it for the ample provision made for
the comfort and entertainment of the
people.

coming recognized as an agriculture
state, in fact, it is the hope of the
state. Prof. s. NJ. Tracy of the Mich
igan agricultural college and now in
the employ of the United States Gov
eminent, an instructor, author and spe-
cialist of national reputation, is instruc
tor in this important study. The work
is planned especially to assist teach
er and farmers. Thursday afternoon
Prof. Mcgowan of the Woodville
schools, talked to Prof. Tracy's classes
on the school garden. Drawings on
the board illustrated drainage and
plans and the talk was very instruc-
tive. Speaking of farming, Prof. Ma
gowan raid that the farmers are more
and more planting things besides cot
ton and a practical knowledge of
farming is needed by every boy-not
a text book knowledge-so urged the
teachers to start the children early in
the school garden.
One teacher in giving her expert
ence when called on, said that the
children loved the gardening-they
could hardly wait to plant the seeds
they brought. Her pupils named their
flower beds and the children's par
ents gave the seeds, while the men
lplowed the ground Lessons in sowing
seed, when taught by giging the little
hands the seeds to drop, proved much
more valuable than a book lesson
If the child dropped too many the
teacher would allow them to stay, then
point out when the plants came ur
too thick. This made a lasting i'm
preston on the little brain, when one
could have said don't drop too many
a dozen times.
This was a forty five minutes les
son, and the professors classes are
always large.

back just in time for breakfast at 7
o'clock, with arms full of flowers of
all colors and delighted with the

The ladies wore short skirts and
heavy shoes, so altho the dew was

while learning about the flowers, ferns
and birds, interesting things they had
never before, perhaps, heard of.

Rev. A. G. Ferguson, of Leakevilla,
Miss, conducted the devotional exer-
cises Thursday morning in chapel.
Supt. Mcgowan, of the Woodville,
schools, was visitor and Prof. An
drew Allison, instructor in ornithol-
ogy and botany, introduced him to the
audience. Prof. Allison requested the
teachers to take an interest in birds
and their protection, a work the Au
dubon society is enthusiastically car
rying out.
Prof. Mcgowan, then made a plea
for the birds, showing their value 20
the state and to individuals in fact, to
the world. One statement Attracting
attention was that birds are as neces-
sary TO farmers as plows. and that
trees depend on birds for their very
existence. Some one has estimated
that the world would be uninhabitable
in three years if it were not for birds.
The little woodpecker and other
kinds watch the trees for insects
which would eat up the trees If al
lowed to live. Then the gypsy moth
story was told-how a few were
brought over here for experiment and
one flew nto the window. Now,
if it were not for the birds, the gypsy
moths and other insects would make
the air black and the earth impossi
BILE ii live in. He told of the thou
sands of dollars spent by the state
and others to get rid of insects which
the birds eat for nothing. So they
should be protected from an economic
point of view as we'll as humani-
tartan. The valuable species of birds
rapidly becoming extinct should be
preserved.
The teachers were advised to get out
in the woods and hear the birds sing
hear Gods orchestra-the birds, and
teach the children to love it. People
might take you for a crank, some
thought Audubon was a fool and a
those who sneered at Au-
dubon are unknown while he is fam
Gus. One beautiful. thing about study
ing birds is that they can't be cor
nered-the birds may be in your yard
but anybody can hear them sing. No
power of man can bring the birds back
once they are gone, so an effort should
be made to protect them
Many of Mr.. Magowan's listeners de-
cided to take more interest in their
surroundings and hear the birds sing.

lures have their important corner in
the world just as anything else has
a fact often forgotten.

Rousseau.
Lawton B. Evans, superintendent
of the Atlanta, Ca, public schools,
was the lecturer at the summer school
Thursday evening, his subject being
Rousseau" His splendid knowledge
of Greek and Roman history, of prac-
'tical teaching and literature, Mr..
Evans has perfectly shown by this lee
ture and equally as thorough is his
knowledge o. French history and liz
erature, judging from the way he
handled this difficult subject. A
sketch of Rousseaus life and the eff.
feet of his writing on the country, es-
pecially the writer's criticism on the
nobility, was given. The habit Vt
showing off" children, Mr.. Evans said
Rousseau objected seriously &c
children showed he obscured and not
paraded-in fact the writer devoted
whole pages to keeping children ma
ural.
All children should learn trade
Rousseau preached throughout his
works and so Mr.. Evans called hin
the father of manual training" The
value of this mans works were showl
already and their impress upon the
country's history. Even in Americe
this influence was felt for Thomas
Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration
of Independence, was a great reader
of Rousseau. This lecture was con
sidered by many Mr.. Evans best, Sc
far. He slosed with a plea to tn;
teachers to look ahead, to look out, d!
Rousseau did.
