A pamphlet Rural Type Schools"
issued by State Superintendent Harris,
is descriptive of what certain country
schools are doing, in the way of gar

amples of what good can be done in
this way for community development.
The schools mentioned are located in
various parts of the state, and are
eight in number. This is hardly a
census, but are, we hope, merely good
examples of what many others are
1t is regrettable that none
of those mentioned are in East or West

SCHOOL FUNDS PER CAPITA.

The Russell Sage Foundation is CIV
ing some interesting figures, concern
ing public education in the United
States, especially the list, beginning
with Washington at $32 and ending
with South Carolina at SO per capita
devoted to the education of the chill
dren of the respective commonwealth.
Louisiana is low in the list, having the
same as Texas and Kentucky, per
capita of seven dollars Those lower
than these three are Virginia, Arkan-
sas, Tennessee, who are each credited
with $500, and Georgia, Mississippi,
Alabama and North Carolina, $500 per
capita, besides noisy little South
Carolina, as before cited, bringing up
the rear with only $500.
If it is considered that the Southern
States all have large proportion of
educable negro children to account for,
thus reducing the apparent per capita,
when In fact the actual funds are not
so dispensed, it will be found that,
rightly or wrongly, a much larger av-
erage sum is spent on white children
than appears.

NOT so CHEAP AFTER ALL.

Having few hours of leisure (the
writer must confess that it was on a
Sunday it was partly employed in
looking over one Of the big, flimsy, but
profusely illustrated catalogues sent
out by Wantmoney, Hard C Co. Hap
pening to know furniture values fairly
well, and the prices charged by the
houses in Baton Rouge and New Or
leans, most of the tire was given to
the values of the sofas and couches,
pictured in all their snowy ornateness,
and in every case the difference in
price between the Southern and the
Northern houses was not appreciate.
The prices were pretty much the same
= and when freight charges, and

ing are considered, the advantage was
all in buying from the Southern house.
Other articles bore a similar COM
parison. The great advantage Want
money, Hard & Co. had over home
competitors, was that they showed
more things and in greater variety.
Seeing an unusual article pictured, one
is apt to conclude that it can't be found
at home, when perhaps it can, but one
will have to look, or ask, for it. But is
not that cheaper after all than sending
to a great distance for it?

TORRENS SYSTEM WOULD BE
REMEDY.

For the past few days the busiest
places in town seem to have been the
lawyers Offices. 1t was largely the
result of some poor devil being hailed
into court to defend a SANDER suit
against the title of his little patch of
land in or near the oil field, and the
result frequently is that the landowner
sometimes has to give half of his min
eral lease, as well as half of his pros
pective royalties in the oil, to defend
his holdings. This is a case where the
state should have public defense at
torney, as they now have public pros
ecuting attorney, for these poor fell
lows are frequently unable to procure
the legal ability necessary to defend
their rights against the able men en-
ployed by the grafters.- Mansfield En-
terprise.
The true Democrat. [volume] (Bayou Sara [La.]) 1892-1928, 1914-03-28
WHY NOT SEIZE THE
OPPORTUNITY?

I'VE are getting lots of Northern
people down here to farm. They buy
the big farms and divide them in forty
acre farms and sell them for about
$780,"
Thus writes a resident of south Mis-.
sissippi, and the statement is quoted
for the two suggestions it contains. OF
course everybody knows that this is
being done everywhere in the South
to-day: outside investors are buying
up large tracts of land, cultivated or
uncultivated, which they in turn sell
to smaller buyers at large advance
on the purchase price. And the plan
is perfectly legitimate one. It prom
Uses to bring desirable class of plain,
industrious settlers to the South to
occupy the land, which for one reason
or another has been thrown on the
market.
There remains however a large mum.
Der of landowners, who while they
possess larger quantity of land than
they can conveniently or proftably
handle, at the same time are unwilling
to part with an arpent of their hold
ings. 1t is manifestly to their adYan-
tage to part with some of their land,
and If they would follow the tactics of
the promoters, they also could sell off
several farms at good prices, never
missing the land, while the proceeds
would materially assist them, and the
value of their remaining lands would
be enhanced by the neighboring small
farms.
Another mistake made is when the
Southern landowner offers land to sell,
he is apt to set too low a price upon it, |
and buyers, accustomed to the high
price of land in the North and West
become suspicious of it, as being too |
cheap, just as one believes something |
must be wrong with goods in a store

hat is offered at too law a price.

that is offered at too law price.
The story is told in West Feliciana
that a landowner advertised in a
Chicago newspaper offering his land
at say $500 an acre. He got no an
swer. He changed his advertisement
to read $25 an acre, and received twen'
ty inquiries. Again he advertised rails
ing the price to $50 an acre, and heard
from one hundred. The foregoing
figures may be all wrong, changed in
going from lip to lip. The essential
fact remains, that as the price went
up, the interest was quickened. Land,
too cheap, in price, is feared to be too
cheap in quality. Verbum sap.

1t is an excellent suggestion that the
final act of naturalization shall be car
ried out with impressive public cere-
monies on one OF the great national
holidays, instead of being hurried
and careless formality, in which the
only participants are Judge and pol.
itician or two, anxious to get a new lot
of voters on the list. Chicago has
shown the country how to do the thing.
