Some Southwest
ern Reflections


Bringing the University to
the people, is a phrase much
OH the lips of MEL these days.
When many Of us older fell
lows were young the Univer-
ity seemed a long distance off
and its benefits were consider
ed to be reserved mainly for
the exclusive few. The dead
languages, bellies, letters, and
mental philosophy ranked
high and agriculture was
vulgar.
You'll never be President
of the United States" scream
ed a redfaced teacher. eX-
postulating with dullard III
her class; "the plow foryou."
But today it is different. The
University is near to us.
Practical work and agricul-
tural science vie with Latin
and Greek III the curricula of
the schools and the man who
is a real farmer lets his heart
go out in sympathy for the
poor man who is condemned
by his people to be drudgery
and slavery of the Presidential
office.
Just think Row many good
farmers have been spoiled to
make Presidents!
And the University is COM
ing nearer to the people.
Professor Dodson has promised
that if the people want them
two, and possibly three
Farmers Short Courses of
three days each will be held
during December within the
territory of the Southwest
Louisiana Development Blu
reau. Live stock and other
illustrative material will be
used, and lectures by scientific
and practical experts will be
given.
{. Many farmers imagine they
are too old to attend the I'm
iversity. They are exactly the
right age to attend these
short courses. Every farmer
within ten miles of where
these sessions will be held |
ought to attend every lecture
and demonstration.
The Agricultural College
of the State University is the
great school of the people, and
by letting it help them the
farmers of Louisiana will add |
many hundreds of millions of
dollars to the productive
wealth of this state within the
next few years.
They have been spending
their money for a hundred |
years to fatten politicians, and |
the farmers are poorer now |
than they were when they /

High School Notes.

The girls and boys are both prac-
ticing and each expect to put up. q
good team. The basket ball mater
ial was purchased last year and this
part of our athletics will start ouf
free of debt. Watch for the games
and try and attend. 49,
The Olympian Literary~ Society
held its meeting last Friday and a
very good program was rendered
All who took part did themselves
credit, especially the debaters and
the editors of the School Journal.
The next meeting will be announc-
ed and it is hoped that the parents
will attend.
The playground material donated
by the School Improvement League
has been erected and consists of
swings 4, horizontal bars, 4 see
saws, rings, etc. The little children
numbering about 800 did not have
any thing to interest them on the
playground but now are provided
for in good, safe way. 1t ought
to be all honor to belong to this
League, and if everyone knew how
much the teachers were sided each
lady i'll town would gladly join.
1t is one thing to have a large
enrichment and, quite another to
have a large attendance. Some
schools have the former but lack
the latter. This year Abbeville
High School not has a very large
enrolment numbering about $50,
but at the same time has a COR
respondingly large daily attend
ance. The percentage of attend-
ance for the first and second
months was 60 per cent and 95 per
cent respectively. We are prouder
of this fact than anything else, 1t
shows interest on the part of the
parents in keeping their children
in school regularly. May they keep
up the good. work.
:: The t t. a. are planning to
beauty our grounds By means of
flower beds. trees, hedges vines
etc. Last year we added about
$4,000 worth of pictures and fully
each room. In addition
flower boxes were added to each
room, together with a great MUM
Der of pot flowers and Vines and
various other decorative material.
All this was done TO beautify tire.
interior. Since this has been done
we are now turning Our, attention
TO the outeide, The grounds are
naturally not beautiful and need
this attention very, much In
order to do this we will need many
ferns, trees. etc. and will welcome
the as gifts from the parents and
patrons of the school. If you can
assist us, please do. 50. :

In spite of its tremendous invest

Harry X. Thaw lost his fight in the
supreme court Of the United States
against being extradited from the
state of New Hampshire to the state
Of New York.
IN a brief decision by Justice
Holmes, which was the unanimous
decision Of the court, it was held that
Thaw should be turned over at once
to the New York authorities to an
swer to an Indictment charging con-
spiracy to escape from the Matteawan
Asylum for the Criminal Insane.
The supreme court decision is ac-
cepted as meaning Thaw's return to
Matteawan, now that the New York
authorities have their hands on the
fugitive. They may annul the indict-
ment for conspiracy or disregard 1t,
although during the argument Of the
case before the supreme court Chief
Justice White intimated that imme-
date Imprisonment of Thaw in Mat
teawan after his return might give
rise to another habeas corpus pro
ceeding to determine whether a fed
eral right had been denied by put
ting him in an asylam after extradit-

Thaw may, however, remain in
New Hampshire for thirty days, un.
less his attorneys consent to his re.

It was the most daring and success

An enormous amount Of damage

The first shell was dropped into
Scarborough at 7.56 a. M. and the
bombardment continued there and at
Hartlepool and Whitby for more than
half an hour.
Instantly there was an exodus from

and panic-stricken by the almost un-

by the failure Of the navy to anticl-
pate and prevent the raid, thousands
fed from the coast--crowding trains,
