Learning The Old Lesson.

All philosophers agree on the
fact that history repeats itself.
Perhaps it Was because of that
knowledge thss Shaksspsrs said
that there was nothing new under
the Sun.
However. it 10 very true that the
land owners Of South Louisiana,
who were formerly consids cred the
most fortunate tillsrs Of the soil,
are being advised to 90 back to
the old methods which we're prac-
tiosd by their grand. fathers.
Instead Of sugar planters, they
are asked 10 become farmers. In
stead of sugar manufacturers they
are advised to get close to the soil
and become farmers and sRricul.
turists.
They are told that the way to
solve the present free sugar"
hardtImss and stsgnation period,
10 to plant and grow what they
need for themselves and their
farm and to rotate their crops and
return by animal fertilization al
that they take out OF the soil.
Grow their every need, and in
stead Of cultivating thousands Of
acres with slip.shod labor. culsi.
vsts . smaller acreage and work it
scientifically.
That 10 the line Of talk We are
given today.
It 10 tho new methods being
supplantsd by those which we're
successfully used by our grand.

While Louisiana is not making
az much noise over ito public
schools as it did ten yesrs ago, it
is certainly making more substan-
tial progress. Building fine school
houses, voting sch DOL taxes, mark
citing large bond issues. organic
ing high schools, consolidating
country schools-thess and many
other evidences of progress are to-
day so common that they pass by
unnoticec. So it is with the en-
ployment of trained teachers.
Some years ago, the coming Of q
normal graduate into a commune
ty was heraldsd as a great event.
Today no intelligent community
or superintendent is satisfied with
au unframed teacher. The reason
10 plain; other things being equal,
they pay best because they give
the best service. Hence the de-
mand fer such teacher is greater
to-day than ever before. Last
year, the State Normal School at
Natcbitoohss found splendid en-
ploymsnt at good pay and in ex-
oellent positions for more than
300 normal teachers and 200 sum-
msr school studsnta This sum-
msr, the Normal School will offer
every kind of instruction that any
school teacher in the State can
need. Present and prospective
teschsrs should send to that insti.
tuition for outlines OF it's courses.
