RURAL SCHOOLS ARE IMPROVING
 IN LOUISIANA
Pretty Buildings Now Supplant Box Car ShantieS
 In Country.

LinviIle is a rural community far from the railroad in a hilly region in northern Louisiana. Five years ago it had all the marks of a backwoods community with no ideals for growth. Some of the marks were it's bOx-car shacks used for schools, it's farm run to weeds, and it's traditional school open from four to six months in the year. The beginning was made by the citizens themselves-not all of them to be sure, only the more ener- etic- These few succeeded in build ing a two-room school which was a marked improvement over the preVi- ous schoo1house. At the present time, the two-room building has been en- larged into a fine six room structure set in large grounds, sodded with grass, and dotted with shade trees. It a growing community with definite standards of it's own. There is a shop room for the boys, a well-equipped home-economics department for the girls, sanitary drinking fountain, and the like. Local social life, formerly of no community avail, now offers in terests for the children, the young men and young women, and the older people of the community.
 The teachers of the school are cor respondingly progressive. The course of study utilized fits the needs of the
 
 c1udes problems of sanitation and personal hygiene of definite impor- tance to the children and adults. The reading course selects the subject matter from life and the nature-e en- Vironment.
 The most forcefu1 factor in the new community life began with the estab- Hshment of a school farm and plant nursery of about two acres as part of the public school. This farm was cleared of trees and brush; stumps were removed; and posts cut and hauled. The lumber for fencing was cut on the land and sawed at a, near by sawmi1l on shares. All this work, including the building of the fence, was done by boys with the assistance of the principal. The only outlay of cash for this construction was $1.50 for nails and barbed wire.
 The land was divided into plots and cultivated by the boys and girls of the agricultural classes. Fruit trees of every kind suitable for this climate were planted during late winter and early spring. Hickory, haws, and many other trees were planted and later grafted and budded. A spray was added to the equipment, and the boys made excursions through the neighborhood spraying orchards, po- injurious insects and other pests. portunity to reach the patrons direct and give them valuable first-hand les sons.

UNCLE sAMs KITE BALLOON.

The United States navy has com pleted one kite balloon, has, had it tested and finally shipped to Pensa- cola, Fla, where it can be seen at the aeronautic station. This new kite balloon is 175 feet long, 50 feet high and 35 feet in diameter, being of a sausage shape. It is the original of this particular type of balloon, and was constructed in Akron, O. It cost something less than $5.000.
 A distinct difference exists between the kite balloon and the dirig1bIe. The respective of the wind, while the kite to ground or ship. If at any time the balloon should break away from it's anchorage it would drift about helplessly and be absolutely at the mercy of the wind.
 The kite balloons have been used in considerable numbers in Europe during the war; They are used en- tireIy for observation purposes and are kept several thousand feet in the air. From this position of vantage vaIua- ble reconnoitering can be done by skilled observers.
 The advantage of the kite over the spherical balloon is clear to those Versed in the basic principles of bal looming. The kite remains steady in a wind travelling at a velocity of 1C or 1 5 miles an hour; in a gale of this size the spherical balloon has proved most unsteady and consequently is not satisfactory for this particular work

FEDERAL TRAINING CAMP EXPENSES ARE
 PAID BY UNCLE SAM

The most significant portion of the Army Reorganization Law is Section 54, which authorizes the secretary of war to conduct camps for the military instruction and training of citizens of the United States and provides for the payment of all expenses, including food, transportation and uniform, of the individual attending.
 This provision, supported by an ad- equate appropriation, will make these federal training camps available for hundreds of thousands of men who could not otherwise afford to pay out of their own pockets for the privilege of equipping themselves to serve their country in case of need. By this sec ton a comprehensive chain of train ing camps, embodying the ''Platts- burg Idea," will be established throughout the country under the ex- elusive direction and control of the federal government. The War De- partment is at present working out lthe details for the administration of the camps.
 1 This progressive legislation will have far-reaching results in building a trained citizens reserve upon the vital principle that the armed forces of the nation must be responsive to the con- tro1 of the nation alone.
 Over 800 of the largest employers of the country, representing hundreds of thousands of employees, have signed a declaration that they will permit their men to attend these federal training Icamps for the full four weeks without loss of pay. | Even on the basis of the men pay ing their own way, 10,543 men are all ready enrolled for Plattsburg alone to June 1st, and thousands of others for the other camps
 The above mentioned bill has be- come a law.

the school curriculum, and the com munity looks to the school for advice and help of this sort.
 In order to promote the social, edu- cational, agricultural, and material advancement of the community, organized. This association held it's first annual fair on October 16, 1914 Among the important results achieved were increased appreciation on the part of the boys and girls for thelr opportunities in farm club work, and the new community interest in local industrial possibilities.
 With agricultural cooperation se- cured, it was comparatively easy for the community to begin other phases of social development. The school started this by interesting the people both young and old-in games, which were played on the school grounds. On Saturday afternoons pa irons and pupils meet on the ground and enjoy themselves playing volley- ball, tennis, and other games. Liter ary societies meet in the school build ing, where many things of community importance are discussed.
 Before the establishment of the new school with it's new relationship to the community, only the smaller children attended the school; the older ones sought work and entertainment else where. At the present time the young men and women ~of the community, ranging in age from 21 to 26 years, to attend. The farmers have learned to look to the institution for help in their agricultural problems. They find it more profitable to have their sons and daughters in school than to keep them at work on the farm, with no vision of their own and no aid be- -yond that which they themselves can
