TEACH TRUE AMERICANISM

The Americanism that teaches things as they are rather than how to make them what they should be. is a menace which will "strangle free thought in it's cradle" said President M. Carey Thomas of Bryn Mawr the other day.
 If understood correctly the nneanfng is that we should not go on, taking things, manners and customs and conventions as they are today, and make them the standard of American n living, and thus "progress" from them.
 We should go back. if necessary, to days passed by, when ali men were judged by their adherence to the life and habit that had beon proven good through great. many years.
 The good traditions, the proven fine, sta1wart and brave manner of living were handed down to use by our fore fathers, should remain the foundation on which to base our lives.
 The evil in their lives is more than counter-ba1anced by that in ours from which 1t seems we cannot get away. Eliminating this feature, equal ly balanced perhaps, there comes the life outside which all men may see and by which we are humanly judged
 Teaching of Americanism is a new and fine thing. It should receive the right sort of start. Those to be taught ourselves. and the person quoted above spoke truly. True, there must b> tho warning given against the habit

GUEST RUMINA NATIN'." (RObert RuSSell.D

A young man gazes at the clouds that from my pipe arise;
 An sort O wistful, saddened, is the look that's in his eyes. Gan you see anythin' in them that's bright, though new or old?" He asks the question wistfully. My briar bowl grows cold, As long the vistas O the years I tells him my own tale: A tale of rises an O falls; o mountain tip an vale. At times his interest is shown; at times he scems asleep; At times he turns away to hide the fact that he would weep, If not ashamed to show his tears; at times his heart, laid bare,
 Discloses jest the little pain that drives him to despair. It lights the briar bowl again; inquirin' in it's aid; A, sense O life proportion makes that man quite un- afraid;
 For he had learned the tools O life were placed within his hand,
 To shape it fine an strong, an good or make it tontra band.

THE MANIAC" is VANISHING.

Now and then we receive a start
ling reminder of the improvements
of the past ten years in the care and
treatment of the insane. One OF the
most recent is the announcement OF
Illinois superintendent Of charities
that the cid style maniac, who was
confined in a screened and padded
cell. shook his bars, gibbered and
shrieked at the terrified visitors is
rapidly vanishing.
"Ten years ago." said the superin-
tendent, Gin the states ten institu-
tions. there were thousands Of VIC
lently insane among the 10000 patti
ents, who were locked up "a hours a
day, 365 days in the year and treated
as dangerous animals. Today few Of
this old maniachiel type are to be
found. In one institution accommo-
dating $500 persons there were
over 500 of these insane who were
imprisoned in locked and padded
cells and constantly watched. To
day there is just one who is classed
ias dangerous. l meet on my rounds
of this institution scores who once
lived in the most abject restraint and
now live in peace and comfort"
What has wrought this change in
the mentally sick? First, the removal
of the things that had the psychologi.
cal effect of increasing mania, and
the treatment of the patients as sick
persons, not as potential wild ami
mails. They require special attention
and care, but it is the care of trained
nurses and attendants, not Of keep
ers. There are no bolts nor bars, MOI
padded cells; no patient is locked in
a room nor apartment, nor restrained
by the horrifying appliances which il
was once thought no hospital for the
insane could do without. The patients
are given medical treatment and kept
busy and interested.
By obtaining sufficient revenue to
obtain the services of skilled alienists
and furnish the unfortunate inmates
with comforts denied them by sheer
lack of means, Louisiana is about to
work a revolution in the treatment
of its mentally sick-one that will
restore many of them to their friends
and families, and make life, even to
the incurable, comparatively happy
and comfortable. They have had the
best of care heretofore that insult
fcient means would permit, but with
out more money, the new plans for
treating them could not be carried
out. This is one Of the several state
activities that will be bettered in
HOLM. o. Item.

PROGRESS REPORT ON BOYS
AND GIRLS CLUB.

The Deerford agricultural club
held regular revival meeting this
week, and invited the entire school
to attend their program, reports r. S.
Roy, assistant agent in East Baton
Rouge parish. The members belong
mostly to the poultry club and they
intend making Deerford a center for
good poultry.
Sixteen schools were visited during
the week in club organization cam
paign, writs T. P. Dutsch, assistant
agent in Ver1nillion parish. Most of
the teachers seem anxious that their
schools have chartered clubs and have
given assurance of their support of
the club movement.
Replies to circular letters show a
surprisingly large number of bee
keepers in the parish, and there are
children in nearly every school who
want to join the bee club, writes E..
w. Jones, assistant agent in Caddo
parish. There is a fine opportunity
for work along this line as most of
the bees are kept in cld-fashioned
hives and receive little attention.
The plan of shipping a carload of
pigs from the parish meets with the
approvaIfof the club boys, writes R.
is. Roy, assistant agent in East Baton
RoFige parish. There will be little
trouble, the agent believes, in getting
up the carload of pigs to go with the
trsinload from the state.
Motion picture shows on cooper
tive mark ting and club work were
given at three places last week, re-
ports w. A. Owens, agent in Frank
lin parish. The attendance was good
and the reels were well received.
An enthusiastic melting with an
attendance of $50 school children was
held On Tuesday at Oakdale, reports
Geo. w. Bohne, agent in Allen parish.
H. c. Smith, garden specialist Of the
State University Extension Division,
talked on identifying the school
grounds and much interest was taken
in his plans for landscape work.
Thirty-two members have enrolled
in the boys and girls poultry Clubs,
writes Thos. P. Dutsch, assistant
agent in N-ermillion parish. Hfr.
Dutsch expects to have IL organized
chartered clubs in the parish. -

AFTER THE STATE BOARDS.

BY way Of maintaining an interest
in Fife and keeping the people OF Ar
kansas mindful that there are pelnty
OF problems still unsettled the new
proposes to present to the legislature
when it meets January 10 a stirring
program of commission and board
addiction. Among the commissions
I'll governor thinks can be dispersed
with are the state corporation COM
mission, the highway commission, the
penitentiary commission and the
beard of control of state eleemosyn-
ary institutions. It. is not surprising
TO hear that considerable opposition
to this proposition has been shown
among members of the legislature
and that an interesting session of the
legislature is predicted.
How far such change would bene-
fit the stat can hardly be discussed
until the governor states what he pro-
poses to put in place of the abolished
boards. Arkansas will continue, no
doubt, to have highway improvement,
penitentiaries, corporation regula-
ton and charitable institutions. They
can hardly be left to run themselves,
and the governor can't do all the
work himself unless he is one of
these supermen we read about. Some
body must direct these state activi-
ties, and few states have found an
acceptable or economical substitute
for the numerous and more or less
condemned "boards of trustees"
Louisiana had a period of reaction
against these numerous Official ap-
panages Of the state administration
some years ago, with special refer
ence to the Seventeen levee boards, :"
but it didn't amount to much in the
long run. There were, as we recoilect
some Official curtailments, but there
wcr also some new boards and com
missions. Probably we have as many
Of them as we ever did, including
levee boards and separate boards of
trustees for every educational and
charitable institution. Reform, es-
pecially ayong the. line of reducing
the number of official places, moves
slowly and encounters many obsta-
,cles. But no one need be surprised to
see revival of the subject, when
our NOR immediate needs are
Strengthened out if the constitutional
convention doesn't see fit to take up
the task.-N. o. Item.

one hundred persons per melting.
Club enrollments are tire times as
large as ever before.
Almost every farmer in Catahoula
parish has plenty of hogs from which
to make bacon and lard for the next
year, and many Of them viii have a
few hogs to market, reports p. B.
Crawford, parish agent.
AT meeting of the Oberlin Cham
Der of Commerce held this week,
the question of forming Farm Blu
reau was discussed, reports Geo. w.
Bohne, agent in Allen parish. That
Organization endorsed the idea and
volunteered to stand for the initial
expense Of getting the movement
started. An organization committee
lis now at work and local meetings will
be held wherever it is possible to do
50. On January IL final meeting
will be held in the Court House at
oberlin and parish wide organiza-

ORGANIZE CLUBS IN RED RIVER
PARISH.

Practically the whole Of last week
was spent in organizing agricultural
clubs over the parish, writes H. H.
Hester, agent in Red River Seven
schools were visited and club or
ganized at each school, with a total
of 165 members, or an average Of %
members to thee lub. This is more
than double the enrolment last year,
with three clubs yet to be organized.
The interest shown at all schools with
clubs point to very successful year
in club work.
Several of the club members have
applied for pure corn and cotton seed
to be ordered by the agent, also pure
bred pigs and lambs. The Red Oak
School alone has made application fol-
IL purebred pigs. Two adult farmers
have asked the agent to order pure
bred pigs for them, having become
interested through the influence Of
! club work in their community.
