lice, station protested his innocense
of the charges. He declared that
one of the girls was accustomed to
do some writing for him, and that
the other girl came to see him about
trying to get her brother out of the
army. He insisted that the girls be
examined, and asked that full in
vestigation be made. He said he was
confident the investigation would
show he had done nothing wrong.
His bond was placed at $4,000, and
was signed at o'clock when he was
set at liberty. The bondsman Will

Transfer Company.
The raid on Whitaker's office was
made just before 8 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
According to Mr.. Agnew, for the
past week there have been COM
plants made to him that q number
of young girls were in the habit Of
going to Whitaker's office. He said
the complaints were made by occu-
pants Of the building and by others.
AS the result of these complaints he
dropped most of his other work and
began watching Whitaker's office. 81
soon found that girls were in the
habit of going to the Office, and de-
termined to probe the matter to the
bottom" he said.
Early yesterday morning Mr.. Ag-
new and H. J. Rhodes, a special Of
ficer of the Juvenile Court, went to
the office of Whitaker, and arranged
to watch what went on there. They
bored hole through a door, using
cork to fill the hole, so the occu-
pants Of the room would not notice
that the door had been tempered
with.
They also removed the screws hold
ing the door, and fixed it so that the
slightest jerk would open it. They
then began the watch which culinat-

afternoon.
Mr. Agnew stated that he saw the
two girls, who were in the room
when the door was broken open, 20
into the room, and that he and Of
ficer Rhodes watched through the
peephole to see what was going on.
After satisfying themselves, accord
ing to Mr.. Agnew, that there was
cause for immediate action, the door
was pulled open. Both Mr.. Agnew
and Rhodes drew reviewers as they
started into the room, they said, and
told Whitaker he was under arrest.
Mr.. Agnew stated Whitaker did moth
Ing that would cause them to think
he was trying to resist arrest.
Hugh Tracey, superintendent of the
building, followed Mr.. Agnew and
Rhodes into the office, they say. One
of the girls. they declared, was seat
ed some distAace from the chair &C.
cupied by Whitaker and the other
girl, and she ran out OF the office
while they were arresting Whitaker.
She was pursued by Tracey and turn
ed over to Rhodes.
According to Mr.. Agnew, the Kohn
girl and the Cameron girl visited the
Office of Whitaker last week, and he
believes the visit yesterday was by
arrangement

the girls were taken before
Coroner O'Hana for a partial exami-
Both Of the girls denied last
night that Whitaker had wronged
them. The Kohn girlAadmitted that
he had taken liberties with her.
Whitaker's bond was subsequently
raised to $4,000.

AGRICULTURE In THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

For nearly decade the question
of teaching agriculture in the COM
mon schools of Louisiana has been
agitated more or less vigorously;
and yet today very small per cent
indeed of the children of the State
are receiving instruction in this fun
damentally important branch of
knowledge. We have talked of the
Importance of teaching agriculture;
we have all agreed that it can be
used in the educative process quite
as successfully as other subjects;
and We have made efforts through
the organized educational agencies
of the State to equip teachers for
this important work. Yet today we
are following the old rut, pursuing
the even tenor of our way, teaching
ancient history and foreign geog-
raphy, bank discount, and syntax;
but largely ignoring agriculture.
What boots it that the child should
know the story of Vasco de Cana or
who the generals were in the French
and Indian wars, what Cortez did
or when he battle Tours was
fought? Why must We teach him
the geography of China and Hindus-
tan, of Liberia and of Afghanistan,
teach him the height of mountain
peaks and the depths of oceans and
capes and promonotories and Rus
sian fiords? Why must the child's
mind be stored with knowledge Of
that sort and left ignorant of such
as the following: What foods plants
need, what foods are lacking in our
soils, how to build up the fertility
of our land, what a balanced ration
is, what foods growing animals re-
quire, what the best breeds of ami
mails are, what plant roots and
leaves do, how moisture is wasted
from the soil how to select seed,
how to contend with insect enemies,
how to bake bread and cook meat,
how to can vegetables and preserve
fruits, how to sew, and how to adorn
the home.
The writer realizes that the geog-
raphy of Asia and the history OF
Greece and Rome have their place in
certain fields of education, but he
that such knowledge is of
very minor importance to the IS
children out of every 100 whose lot
IN life it will be, not to praties the
law and medicine, to preach and
each, but to preside over homes,
ill the soil, clothe and feed the
world, operate machinery, erect
drive teams, etc.
The main cause of our failure to
make more progress in teaching eis,-
nentary agriculture in the common
chools is found in the appalling un-
of our teachers to deal
With the subject. Hence every grade
eacher that attends a summer nor

FARM NOTES
=. FROM |. 5. j.
Louisiana Should Raise Bet
ter Horses for Farms.
Benefit Of Agriculture in the
Public Schools.

Now that Louisiana farmers are
awaking to the Importance of rails
ing live stock, they should give more
attention to the production of horses
better adapted to the uses OF the
farm. One of the main reasons why
Louisiana farmers do not produce
as much crop per annum as the
Iowa farmer does is because the lat
ter has more and better horses to
work with. The farmer that runs
a two-row riding cultivator hitched
to two 1900 or 400 pound mares,
not only wears himself out less, but
he does three of four times as much
work as the farmer who operates a
one-row walking cultivator, and he
does his work at less cost. The
small horse or pony on the farm is
an anomaly; it has no place on the
modern farm; it does not pay. What
we need mainly is large mares that
will do the farm work and bring in
a colt every year.
But, how can We increase the size
of our horses? Shall we import one
ton Percheron stallion for breeding
purposes. Plainly that will not do.
The present size of Louisiana farm
mares does not allow of their being
bred to the large types of stations.
Hence, the first step must be to
breed our mares to rather small
stations of the draft type, and the
type should be selected to meet the
needs of the farm. Probably no bet
ter plan can be devised than the use
of 1900 pound Percheron stallion
for breeding to. A cross between
such an animal and a common mare
will be an offspring that will be
heavier than the dam by several
hundred pounds. A mare produced
by such cross may then be bred
to larger stallion, and eventually
the result will be the production of
horses weighing from 1900 to 1000
pounds.
The writer realizes that there are
very few Percherons' Belgians,
Clydesdales and Shires in Louisiana
today that are adapted to the be-
ginning of such work; he also knows
that it is no easy matter to secure
the Introduction of such stations in
to new territory. But, until this
need has been recognized and senti-
ment favorable to it has been de-
veloped, we can hope for no progress
in developing a type of horses better
adapted for farming purposes. How
ever, progress is making, although
slowly. Recently, the writer met
gentleman from central Louisiana,
we'll known all over the State
through his stock-breeding work,
above; and he is now looking for a
Percheron or other draft type of
stallion adapted to the improvement
of our farm horses. Should he sue
coed in this and begin this work,
we can foresec as sgreat success in
this line as this gentleman has
achieved during the last fifteen years
by the introduction of first-class
standardized blood throughout a
section of the State. In
the last analysis, if progress is to be
made in improving our farm horses,
the first step will have to be taken
by public-spirited men who realize
the needs. of the people in this mat
ter and who can afford and are will
ing to pay the price of carefully
selected, sound, registered sires. We
can not doubt that the farmer would
at once see the Importance of such
an animal for breeding purposes.
