IMPROVEMENTS IN MOTOR LINE.
Roadbed Being Put in Good Order in
Anticipation of Big Business
This Summer.

The St. Tammany Motor Line has
had a large force of men busy for
a month or so making improvements
in the road. In speaking of the road
the manager, Mr.. Clay Riggs, was
very optimistic in regard to the out
look for the coming summer. In
dications point to a Frightening OF
business throughout the country.
West End is being fixed in anticipa-
ton of lively times in New Orleans,
this summer, the St. Tammany
Steamship Company has had it's
boats put in the best possible order,
both for speed and accommodation,
and there is no doubt that excur-
sionists will be over in large num-
bers. The Motor Line is cheap, con-
venient and pleasant mode of travel
for them and many of them will
want to visit the towns along its
route.
The St. Tammany Motor Line is
the finest equipped road of its kind
in the South. 1t affords beautiful
ride for pleasure seekers, and now
that grabbing and fishing is excellent
at Vaudeville, many can be seen
with their nets and lines hiking
it to advantageous points on the
lake. It is wonder that more dc
not take advantage of the oppor-
tunity afforded by this road for sport
and pleasure. If it were in some
northern town seats would be scare
on the cars. We are proud Of this
motor line, and when people wake
up to what they have got-Well, the
company will have to put on more
cars and run every half hour to
accommodate the crowds. It's COM
ing!

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Out of Sixty-six Teachers Sixty-three
We're in Attendance.

One Of the most successful of the
teachers meetings that have been
held in this parish was that of last
Friday and Saturday. Superintend-
ent Messick worked hard for the
success of the occasion, and while
the attendance Of the general public
was not as great as was desired, the
interest manifested by the teachers
in the work was in pleasing contrast.
Judge Burns and District Attorney
Morgan, who were to have addressed
the teachers, were prevented from
doing SO by important business. All
who took part in the program out
lined acquitted themselves with
credit.
Rev. Francis B. Coyle gave an in
teresting talk on the spraying Of
fruit trees, that was instructive and
was listened to with interest.
The musical program was inter-
rupted on Friday by the nonarrival Of
Miss Dona Everitt, who was detain-
ed and did not arrive until in the
evening.
Hon. Jos. B. Lancaster gave an
explanation of the newly enacted
school laws, going into detail and
touching upon all points having a
special interest at this time.
At night DR.. A. B. Coffey, Of
Baton Rouge, delivered an address
on Education" that was listened to
with intent interest and was highly
appreciated by every one present. He
laid special stress upon education by
nrnannf on1 nvon,n1n orH
crete illustrations of each, showing
the difference between education and
instruction.
The theatrical recitation OF Mrs.
I. o. Siler was very entertaining.
Mr.. Leo M. Favrot, state high
school visitor, spoke of the require
ments necessary for any school to
become an approved high school. His
address was listened to with inter-
est, and his remarks gave an in
sight into the value to the commun-
ity of having an approved high
school.
Hon. Jos. B. Lancaster addressed
the meeting on the question of the
bond issue for the Covington school,
a question that is of special interest
at this time and which seems not
to have been understood by good
many people. The subject was a
timely one and its discussion was
much needed.
The music of Miss Dona Exeritt
and Mr.. Hooper, of Slidell, was ex-
cellent and was very much enjoyed
by all.
Saturday every teacher responded
to roll call and the regular program
was carried out. Mr.. Favrot again
the institute, the subject
being 1.-THE teachers and the general
work of the school"
A vote of thanks was extended to
Miss Everitt and Mr.. Hooper for the
excellent music furnished during the
institute.
The next meeting will be held in
SlidelI the first Saturday In Mary.
