Outlook for a Prosperous
School Year Is Filled
With Encouragement
TO WORK FOR A
SCHOOL GYMNASIUM
Plan Started by Mr.. Haller
In Talk To The Pupils
Opening Day.

Covington High School opened last
Tuesday with the most encouraging
prospects in the history of the
school. There were ATS pupils en-
rolled. The faculty is an efficient
and high graded one.
The large audience seated in the
school auditorium listened to talks
by Prof. Park, the principal; Mr.
John Haller, Mr.. Bryan Burns, Prof.
Lyon, Mrs. c. H. Sheffield and Mrs.
]. c. Burns. All spoke with conf
dence of the winning fight education
was making and with hope for the
promises Of the present year.
Mr.. Haller's suggestion for q
school gymnasium attracted much
favorable comment and is especially
supported by Prof. Park. There has
been general interest awakened out
side the school and the movement
promises to be the most popular one
presented to the consideration Of
both pupils and teachers. The USE
fulness of a gymnasium is not Goa
fined to physical development. 1t
brings more interest into school
work generally and adds to the
health and strength of body NEIL
tai attitude that creates loyalty and
pride in the school and respect and
consideration for the teacher. Glass
spirit, devotion to school and prize
in the town all follow athletic
achievement of the pupil. Just rs
the red, white and blue of the flag
quickens the pulse and adds vanle
to the citizenship of the American,
so is the loyal impulse of the pupil
quickened and strengthened by the
pleasurable things of the school. By
all means let's have the gymnasiu n.
. Prof Park is also ns:dering a
commercial course for the school,

THE KNIGHTS
ORGANIZE BOY
SCOUTS

During the past week there was
organized under the auspices Of the
knights of Columbus in Covington,
new troop of Boy Scouts, known
as Cov.ngton Scout Troop No. 2.
E. C. Bergeron, field secretary,
from Washington, D. c., came to
Covingten for that purpose at the
request Of Scout Headquarters n
New Orleans.
A Citizens Committee composed Ut
Geo. Kent, Felix Bachemin, HON II
Perrin, Jacob Seller, Julian Smith,
F. N Boudousquie, C.. H. Hebert,
Ben ontain, H. j. Ostendorf, R. p.
Mccormack, A. D. Schwartz, A. T..
Finney, r. c. Noise, DR.. Bouquo.
and Rev. B. Keating, was appointed.
A D. Schwartz was selected Troop
Chairman; Felix Bachemin, Scout
Master.
A full size troop with complete
equipment has already been assured
by the knights. The enthusiasm OF
the boys In taking ho.d Of this work
has eeen more than inGpiring TO
to those who are directing it. All
plans for-building a permanent lodge
for the accommodation of all boys in
terested in Scouting, have been pro-
vided for and will be completed
forthwith. r. #4a
Covington, for the past several
years, ON account of it's fine faci j
ties ard healthy environment, has
been looked upon as ideal for this
work.
The main object of the new Scout
Troop is to provide for and recruit
raw material in Scout Craft, and to
cooperate in every way possible
with the troop already organ zed.
1t is a mistake on the part OF
parents who neglect the business ps
encouraging their boys in becoming
Scouts. No expenses are attached
to the movement other than those
the boys desire to create and pay
for by their own efforts. The move
ment is non-partisan in character.
The average boy between the ages
of twelve and eighteen has the ad :
vantage of affil;ation, either with
Troop No. 1 or Troop No. 2, as &C
casion may suggest.
For the present, Troop meetings
are being held at the Knights 'f
Columbus Hall on Friday nights, be-
tween seven and nine O'Clock.
After all of the patrols are per
fected, the personel of the troop will
be published.

over the ditch through his farm, TO
protect his live stock, etc."
The better farmers are however
now beginning to see that this drain
age project is the biggest thing that
has come to the community during
their experience, and are elated over
the fact that the surplus water will
most surely be disposed of, and tina:
not only will the surface water readi-
ly get away, but that sub-surface
water VIII be quickly lowered to o
safe point, and it will be possible
to use more drain tile where nee
essary.
In short, our ditch will in It's ef-
feet exceed the expectations Of those
who planned it, and those who were
objectors at the beginning are now
becoming ditch enthusiasts. They
want the system extended and en-
larged to cover a larger territory, all
Of which will doubtless be done as
soon as possible. And our neigh
boring counties are getting intec-
ested.
In another year / am confident it
will be possible to tell some wonder

And I went through hell to

Seymour NJ. Stone, whose portraits
of prominent Washington society
people are on exhibition at the Cor
coran Art Gallery this week. thus
summed up to a Sunday Herald re-
porter the story of his rise in
twenty years from a sign PAINTER
to one of the foremost portrait

Painting express wagons in Chi
'cago at SO cents each, this penniless
Russian boy dreamed all day long
of marble mansions and walled gar

termined to secure the key which
would admit him to this pageant Of
his dreams.
Four months ago that same youth
returned to Washington from Europe
after a career during which nearly
every royal family in Europe has
posed before his easel. Only streaks
of gray in his black hair and fur
rows of struggle in his kindly face
indicated that the twenty years in
tervening had been a continual fight
to overcome almost insurmountable
obstacles.

portraits of Secretary of War and
