ed the Westside children have not
been sent home any more on account
of the cold.
The superintendent and four teach
ers attended the Texas State Teach
ers' Association at Fort Worth.
Bryan schools are fine, but there are
certain things yet lacking. Let's have
them.
No school system ever reaches the
highest possible efficiency till it has
system of selecting teachers on the
basis of scholarship, tested expert
ence and professional training. Bryan
is looking in that direction.
Schools generally have nice grounds
and shade trees. Bryan is behind in
this particular.
Some seats have been ordered to
accommodate the overflow in certain
rooms.
We need you to help US make seDti-
ment for advanced steps in the
schools.
Some children who have been out
of school on account of the scarlet
fever scare naturally found things in
the examination which they did not
know.
Let's cultivate sentiment for new
individual desks now before some
thing else comes to the front and
necessitates further delay Of this i'm
portant matter.
Recently another new teacher went
to work in the colored school. She
was educated in Rust University, and
made a state first grade certificate on
the examinations of the past summer.
We are not fighting anything or any
body. We are simply urging the ques-
ton of the best possible schools for
the children of Bryan.
Miss Lucy Christian is a new
teacher who is making good progress
in her work, and with the summer
school training courses she is to take
she has bright prospects ahead.
That sanitary drinking fountains
prevent danger from germs and that
they cut the expense in the way OF
water bills. is what school officials
who use them claim for them.
The credits which our city high
school has been granted by the Uni
versity of Texas are as follows: His
tory, four units; mathematics, three
units; English, three units; Latin,
three units; manual training one unit
In the December examinations all
pupils in the eleventh grade passed
with excellent grades. The same was
true of nearly all in the tenth grade
Those pupils were taught by Mr.. Kin
nard. Mr.. Simpson and Miss Wedding

MANY ATTEND
DEMONSTRATION

Fully $50 fruit growers from all
parts of the valley attended the
practical demonstration of the layer
pack at the association platform to-
day. Inspectors Rupp and Chandler
described and demonstrated the pack.
The simplicity of the new pack was
surprise to many of the ranchmen.
One lady who had never packed
box of apples in her life. watched
the demonstration for few minutes,
and then put up the pack perfectly
without assistance. II is said bv
some to be even easier than the old
jumple pack.
The demonstration is a complete
success, and there is a general dis
position on the part of the growers
to cooperate with the association and
make the layer pack factor in the
increase of fruit prices this fall.

We knew there was serious trouble;
That hole had been stove in her side;
That the engines were out of commission,
Submerged by the n-rushing tide;
But here were the women and children,
And surely we couldn't let go
Must keep right on with the playing,
Lest some of our dear ones should know.
So Harry just gathered the cardboards
And smlngly passed them to me;
l cut them as though was guessing
Which ones should be handed to me.
The dealing went on just merry
As though there nothing to fear,
While banter and good-natured guying
Was helping to keep eyes clear.
The band had been playing ragtlme,
While the women were placed in the boats
But now they have changed to Columbia"
Which over the sea grandy floats.
We gaze through the ports for an instant
To hear the ''Farewells" and "Good-byes"
But the game mustn't lag for moment,
Lest the moisture be seen in our eyes.
he music Just stopped for moment,
And then, far over the sea-
here rolled last dirge to our heroes
"Ne-a-r-e-r, my God to Thee"
1t took but moment to read it;
And, casting the cards to the deck,
We rushed to the gun al in terror,
To Jump from fast sinking wreck.
Some games have been played for big money
And cards have been dealt for wife;
Yes! honor and worldly possessions
Aye! even on freedom and life;
But never before on this planet
Has stake of such awful portents
Been hid in the pot yet unopened
Or held in such careless pretenSe.
1t may not be Christlke to gamble;
But, when there are children at stake
And mothers are pleading to save them,
The chances I'm ready to take,
And die with the pangs of conscience
Accusing its of sin,
Or live in the love of my fellows
With soul that is glowing within.

Delegation Went to Lake Arthur,
Thursday to Confer on Question
of Parish Lines.

At the invitation of a number Of
friends in Lake Arthur, about twenty
FIVE of the leading citizens of Welsh
and vicinity went to that thriving little
city last Thursday to confer with her
progressive citizens relative to the
increasingly important question Of
Parish Division. Like Banquo's
Ghost, Parish Division went down.
and the sentiment is prevalent through
out the parish now, that Imperial
Calcasieu, will be, DIVIDED by the in
coming legislature at its first session.
The question that is now occupying
the attention Of those Interested in
Parish Division, is not division, or
no division, but is rather only q
question OF lines. Practically every
member of the incoming administra-
ton from the Governor down has ex.
pressed himself in favor OF Division
upon "equable lines" and this is the
question that is concesning the citi-
zenship of this as we'll as other Sec
tions of the parish at the present
time.
The trip 20 Lake Arthur was made
in automobiles, and was most en-
joyable fcpm every. point of view.
Upon arrNing at the beautiful little
city on the lake, the delegation was
conductea to the handsome club house
situated on the lake front, where
a strong delegation of Lake Arthur
citizens, were assembled. The meet,
ing lasted about two hours, and the
question Of lines was freely discussed
by representatives from Welsh and
LakeArthur as well.
The Welsh delegation presented q
map showing the lines upon which
they are DESTROYS Of having the parish
divided as, far as this parish i:
concerned. These lines begin at the
south line of the parish at tho poin>
OF its intersection with the west line
OF Ward Nine, and extend NORTH
along the west line of Ward Nine anG
up the Calcasieu river TO the point q,
its intersection with, what is known a,
the Odom line dividing the parishes
to be, of Jefferson Davis and Allen
thence east along this line to thu
eastern line of the parish. This woulc
give to this parish, an area, OF som,
1850 square miles.
While the gentlemen OF Lake Arthu,
were not authorized TO speak for sb.i,
city as q whole, and no pledge, war,
asked, large number Of the leader,
OF the city PERSONAL, endorsed tn,
proposed lines, saying that they
looked fair to them.

Weekly Letter From Southern Rice
Growers Association.

There is nothing new in the curfeht
rice situation. Farmers are Busy pre-
pairing to plant, and on the Gnlf coast
a few farmers have done some seeding
There appears to be little ii ference IN
the sltuation ia the three rice states.
Rains have delayed preparations for
the crop, and planting is consequently
safely until the middle Of MAY and IN
some cases later, the iatencsS OF the
season will not greatly diminish the
acreage planted.
The market for clean continues to
hold yerv strong, both in this country
and abroad, and it is certain that the
visible supply will be cleaned up be-
fore the opening Of the new rice year.
The total strength of the Southern
Rice Growers association, both In mum
Der of contract signers aud in acreage
under contract is already COnsid-
cradle in excess OF lastyear's strength,
with FIVE months more to which
to further strengthen the association be
fore the opening Of the new rice year.
On account Of persistent rains, the
rice belt acreage Of corn, cane, pota'
toes, cotton and vegetables will DO
smaller than last year.
