From the New Orleans Daily States
The bill of fare In a New York city

more delicious and palatable dishes
that have long since made New Orleans
famous. The eastern hostelry, prob

OF the more, celebrated dishes and on
his return to New York will complete
arrangements for serving those dishes
that have distinguished New Orleans

Robert G.. Ebert is the name of the
man who will introduce the New Or

ton of accommodating more travellers
from the south than any other hotel
in the eastern metropolis.
New Orleans is famous for its won

from you in this and many other re-

NEW FEATURES OF

To the Editor of The ge-Herald:
I know that you are deeply inter-
ested in the whole subject of educa-
ton in the south and realize the es-
sential unity of all the schools and in
situations which are directed toward
this great object the purpose being, OF
course, to prepare youth to live in the
twentieth century under conditions
that exist today in the south.
The theological seminaries, as well
as colleges and universities aim at this
end. The Columbia seminary is re-
adjusting all of its courses in order to
prepare young men, particularly to
serve the rural communities into which
many of them go as pastors as well
as to preach to the modern minds rep
resented in the city congregations. To
this end there has been added to the
seminary work courses in Christian
ethics. which includes sociology, or the
careful and thorough presentation of
the sociological conditions that exist
In the particular sections of the south
that the seminary serves, namely.
Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and
Florida. In addition to that there has
also been provided a lecturer whose
business 1t will be to discuss artic-
ularly and fully as possible the whole
matter of the relation of the minister
