colORED scuoOL exhibition.

On Wednesday night, at the colore'
Knights of Pythias Hall, in st. Joseph
the closing exercises of the private school
of. Nicey Wallace, wife of Geo. A. Wal
lace, were held.
The hall was taxed to its full capacity,
standing room soon being at premium
Garlands of evergreen were entwined
around the columns, and banks of green
ry were appropriately placed, giving a
pleasing and picturesque appearance to
the whole.
At the rear Of the hall stage with a
movable curtain was arranged. At Civ
en- signal, and to the accompaniment of
piano music rendered by the instructress,
the curtain was parted and there APP
peared a score or more of bright and
eager faced pupils singing a chorus,
which was well rendered and received a
well deserved and hearty applause.
This number was followed by other
songs, Rotations and dialogues, and in
each and every instance showed plainly
the patience and care of the teacher in
training her pupils and reflected credit
alike on both teacher and pupils.
In each and every case the pupils, tho
all quite young, showed to marked de-
gree composure and self reliance. Dur
ing an intermission, occasioned by the
pupils retiring preparatory to rendering
the closing number Of the program,
Amanda Randall, the sister-in-law of the
instructress, rendered several difficult
pieces Oh the piano quite gracefully, and
which filled in the gap pleasantly for the
audience.
Soon the piano played march and in
came the pupils, all in uniform of white,
with red caps and bearing their brooms
at ''carry arms" After reaching the
stage, and entirely to the time Of music,
without spoken command, they executed
their drill, consisting of portion of the
manual OF arms used by the army, with
some special features added, all of which
was executed with precision in perfect
time with the music, and when concIud-
ed they retired in good order in true SOL
dierly manner.
At this time, Geo. A. Wallace, who
presided over and directed the whole
entertainment, came forward to make
award to two of the pupils for having ex-
celled in their respective classes. In
few chosen remarks and with words of
good advice to the two pupils, he pre-
sented them the two prizes, commencing
them for their good work and admonish-
ing them to strive to attain greater deeds.
After the benediction, delivered by the
Rev. Campbell Pierson, the assemblage
dispersed with due decorum.
The scope Of the school is vast, but
each unit adds each unit to the great
multitude, which all point to the same
goal education and knowledge.

LOUISIANA TRAINING INSTITUTE.

The Training Institute at Mon
roe, the State school for delinquent
and incorrigible white boys between
the ages of eight and sixteen years
is prepared to receive about so boys,
and the superintendent desires to
know at once of any boys who are
being held pending the opening of
the institution. Parents or friends
desiring to have boy committed
to the Training Institute are advised
to bring the case to the attention of
the Juvenile Court Of their CITY or
parish. Board, clothing and tuition
are furnished by the State free
of all charges. Baggage and extra
clothing other than shoes and I'M
derwear must not be sent to the
Training Institute.
To sentence a boy to the Training
Institute for a definite term as for
punishment usually excites feel
ing OF resentment and may result in
cases of truancy; why as a matter
OF fact inmates will he clothed and
treated as school boys rather than
as prisoners, and the length of term
for each one will depend upon his
progree in school. upon his deport-
ment and upon evidence of fitness
for earning a livelihood. Each group
OF boys will be under the immediate
charge of an expert teacher or in

There are to he sixteen cottage
homes for the boys, all steam heat
ed and fitted with hot and cold wa
ter for shower baths. Only two of
these have been built as yet. A mar
ried couple in charge of each cottage
will be the foster father and mother
OF the boys assigned to their charge.
The living room in each of the two
cottages now ready must be used for
school room and chapel too until
other buildings can be provided.
The school is to have beautiful

INCREASED ATTENDANCE At |. S. ..

During the last eighteen years 1885,
97-19l4-15) the attendance at the Louis
lana State University has increased from
l22 to ~ in the number Of college stud
ents enrolled in the regular session. This
has been accomplished in spite of the
fact that the requirements for entrance
has been raised from six to fourteen units.
In other words, the student who enters
the Freshman class now must have had
two more years of preparation than were
required in 1869.
The attendance in all departments the
current session Q9l4-l5) is l74O.
In lS96-97, more than forty-four per
cent. of the students were in the SUBJ
freshman, or preparatory, class; in 1914
Is, less than one and half per cent. are
in the corresponding class.
In 1867, it was necessary for the
University to have preparatory depart
ment; but as the high schools throughout
the State have multiplied and become
more efficient, there has been less need
for the University to do preparatory work,
and this department has been gradually
abolished.
The first class was graduated in 1863
CO. During the next twenty-eigh years
only l73 students were graduated, while
during the last eighteen years 7S7 have
been graduated. The number of grad
yates during the current session will ex-
coed the total attendance of college stud
ents in lS96-97.-Press Bulletin, L. S. L.

Ing at s o'clock that morning. he
said. Il found a line OF men extending
from our front door down Leonard
street to Centre. around the corner Of
Centre street TO Franklin, down the
entire block of Franklin street and
back on the Lafayette street side
There were all sorts and conditions
Of men and boys. but very few down

o'clock in the morning until 4 O'Clock
at night this line continued. For six
or sever days there was no let up
me could not see the end of this
line-and on n of these days rain
fell in torrents.
lowing 10 the fact that the estab-
lishment of the Public Employment
Bureau was something new in the
history OF New York, We had a great
many. visitors during the first few
weeks, and they remarked on the APP
pearance Of the men. Most Of them
were we'll dressed and ranged In years
from boys Of - and II up TO men
Of so or 20.
Il found that these applicants, In
the majority OF cases temporarily out
of work. were anxious to accept any
reasonable opportunity for earning a
livelihood. Among them were a few
day laborers, but a large number OF
college graduates stood in line, as wei
as men who had been In business fol
years, and others who had held con-
fidential positions and now were
thrown out of work because of tbs
very unfortunate commercial sltua-
ton all over the United States.
This Office was opened at an mop
perfume time. so far as obtaining en-
ployment was concerned, because en-
ployers were not hiring any one in
those days. and an employer who had
a job open found little difficulty in
getting any number Of people who
wanted TO Ill it.
Another thing which went against
lis at the outstart and which we are
doing Jul very best to overcome has
been a very general feeling on the
part of employers, who seem sceptica'
as to the ability of this bureau &c
render efficient service.
THE difficulty, of course. was tina,
New York has not been accustomed tc
have a public employment bureau OF
It's own. and New York business men
In the vast majority of cases have
not the least Idea how business men

this scepticism on the part of the
employers is being d~issipated, as may
be understood from the fact that
at the present time we are receiving
applications from a considerable num-
Der OF large business concerns when

kENTUCklANS TO ADOPT
TEXAS PLAN ON LIQUOR


Louisville, Ky, Aug. 2S-County
mass conventions are being held
throughout the state today by the
Democratic party, for the election of
delegates to the State Convention
which will be held here on Tuesday.
1t is believed that the Democratic pol
iticians will adopt the Texas plan Of
handling the liquor question, in the
platform to be adopted next Tues
day. 1t is pointed out that the Dem
ocrats of Texas, after hard party
fight, had succeeded in eliminating
the question as a campaign issue by
adopting plank in their platform
declaring temperance laws on the
statute books at that time to be sat
isfactory and in which the nominee
for governor was pledged to veto any
legislation to the liquor question In
that state.
Judge s. w. Hager of Owensboro,
who looked after A. G. Stanley's in.
terests in the primaries, is State
Chairman of the Democratic Commit
tee.

In a statement in reply to Secretary of

clouding the issue by "bufoonery."
He again defended Major General
Leonard Wood and characterized as
an imputation on its conduct the ad-
ministration's rebuke OF General
Wood through Mr.. Garrison. Mr.
Roosevelt said, in part: 81 again call
