A FIRM THAT IS
GROWING RAPIDLY

Few business establishments of Bat
on Rouge have grown from modest
beginning to proportions unsurpassed
by any of like character as rapidly
as has that of Tobias -Gass, located at
the corner of North and Gaines street.
Those who were acquainted with the
firm when it first threw it's doors open,
just across the street from its present
site, marvel at the proportions to
which its patronage has grown since
the present large and commodious
building was erected in 1916. Stocked
with goods Of the very best quality
and grades, with prompt and courteous
response to all demands it is ranked
among the foremost establishments of
this city.
catessen order, but a general store as
| 1t is not only a grocery on the deli
we'll. where everything in home or on
farm may be purchased at a small
profit over cost. Orders received by
telephone constitute a large patronage
to say nothing Of personal purchases.
The manager, Mr.. Gass, comes as near
knowing the demands Of patrons as
any one in business. He is native
Of Baton Rouge and was reared along
best business lines. Polite, affabie
and courteous his genial ways have
won a legion Of customers whom he is
ever ready to serve whether to a
package Of baking soda, high grade
bicycle of a sack of Peruna chicken
chow. Tobias -Gass is certainly big

A WORD ABOUT
OUR HIGHLAND CITY

(The following pretty compliment to
Baton Rouge was received through the
mail without the name of the writer
and while our rule is not to publish

city is contained therein, we depart
from the custom and offer it to our
readers.)
"Baton Rouge, where the delicate
perfume of the Magnolia ever fills the
air, where the Camelia and Cherokee
rose flourish in glorious profusion,
where the mocking bird in joyous
and riotous abandon MARBLES it's songs
the live-long day, city in its mantle Of
emerald green setting upon the first
highland to greet the treveler north
ward bound bathing its feet in the
waters of the mighty Mississippi.
Land where the blood of Puritan and
Creole, Saxon and Celt mingled into
one harmonious mass from which has
sprung race, brave, chivalrous, pat
riotic, hospitable, boasting Of a history
ladened with more momentous events
more romances, more tragedy, than is
to be found elsewhere on the continent
of North America. Romance and
tragedy following the wake of transi-
tion from nationality to nationality,
following changes Of languages, chang
es of customs and habits. Baton Rouge

the stranger who enters her gates and

lSIR0UllA CLUB Of HOUSEWIVES LEAGUE

Mrs. Hattie Morgan, one Of the
leading members of the Housewives
League has written the following open
letter giving a history of the move
ment.
1strouma Heights is a suburb Of
Baton Rouge which has made phemon-
menal growth within very recent
years, and due to the rapid increase
in poulation the people in many in.
stances did not know their neighbors
living in the same block with them
selves. Realizing the advantages to
be derived from social intercourse, a
little band of interested ladies deter
mined to attempt an organization
which should cement the bonds OF
friendship and widen into avenues Of
civic improvement and school better
ment. Several attempts were made to
organize q Parent. Teachers club, but
without success until finally the aid
OF the Extension department Of the
State University was invoked and a
meeting Of the ladies Of the commun'
ity called; but due to various causes,
when the day for this meeting arrived
and Miss Deshotels and Mrs. Giesen,
accompanied by Mrs. Sessions, presi-
dent Of the Housewives League, drove
out to the school house through the
rain, they only found assembled the
thirteen teachers.
Unpromising as the situation seemed
this little band of workers was not
discouraged. Another date was sci
and plans for advertisement and or.
ganization discussed and literature
distributed. Arrangements were made

The FIRST, SECOND and FOURTH
DISTRICTS OF LOUISIANA FEDERATION
WOMEN'S CLUBS HELD IN MAY

Mrs. L. C. McVoy Of the L. S. U.

two interesting numbers for month
ly program partly made up of other
club work and is adapted to the need
of a club that has not access to large
library and at the same time is not
too elementary 10 interest almost any
group. The program is from Amer
lean writer's, especially Southern and
Louisiana writers and the photography
furnished will make it easy for club
to provide itself with the nucleus of
"a small library.
Urgent letters have been sent out
by Mrs. Sessions during the past few
days to the federated clubs in behalf
of the Mothers Pension bill and the
acceptance by Louisiana Of the fed
eral aid offered by the Sheppard Town
er Maternity bill. The clubs are asked
to request the representatives from
their respective communities to vote
for these two measures sponsored by
the federation. The state has only to
accept the $4,000 each year offered
by the government for maternal and
infant hygiene to be administered by
the department Of child hygiene under
the state board of health. Only three
states, including Louisiana, have fail
ed to accept the money thus offered
and it is expected that the legislature
at this session will accept for Louis
lana.
The campaign for kindergartens has
been very ably handled by Mrs.
Weaver of Shreveport and her COM
mittee and has done much to inform
the public as to the value and need of
kindergartens. The kindergarten bill
will be introduced by Mr.. Douglas o.
Caddo and will be vigorously pushed
by the committee. All women inter-
ested are asked to use their influence
for this bill.

and, incidentally, refreshments, at
this meeting.
Notices were run several days prior
to this date in the local paper, and
when the time rolled around, great
was the satisfaction to find full
houSs.
The Women's Department of the
University explained what had been
accomplished in other communities.
A permanent organization was effect
ed, and president ,vice-president, Sec
retary treasurer and publicity shair-
man elected.
The dress form proved grand Sue
cess, and the delicious lunch prepared
and served by the club girls of the
school was much enjoyed, and since
then our club has grown steadily, num-
bering now more than forty regular
members.
We meet twice each month in the
school auditorium, the first meeting
being devoted to household problems
while at the second monthly meeting
we study and discuss civic matters.
At the demonstration meeting we
arrange to have with US an expert
along some particular line Of home
economy. The Extension department
has given US invaluable assistance
and we have had lectures and demon.
strations upon gardening, cake max
ing, food problems, and four days
course in millinery, at which about
twenty ladies designed and made their
spring hats. Just now we are busy
planning for the summer. Arrange.

1t may be of interest to those now
endorsing the kindergarten system of
instruction to young children, to know
that one Of the first Kindergartens in
Louisiana was established at Baton
Rouge, years ago, and successfully
carried on for two years in building
on North Boulevard, now the site Of
the City Hall. The want of a suitable
building to conduct it in, caused a
suspension Of the school. Later on
from time to time other teachers of
its principles, followed at intervals
from year to year, until now it is one
of the necessary auxiliaries to all the
leading schools in different localities,
and has the approval of the Louisiana
Federation of Woman's Clubs, as we'll
as some of the members of the legis-
lature.
Frederick Froebel's educational
principals met with little interest at
first by the people of the country, for
the simple reason that a correct
knowledge Of the system was never
fully understood, but for the last
decade it has awakened some degree
of enthusiasm upon the subject, caus.
ing a more universal adoption as a
prelude to primary instruction in the
foremost educational institutions al
over the country.
From copy of the Baton Roug'
Advocate of December 1881, we re
|produce an interesting account of on
of the entertainments Of the Kinder
garten, showing its popularity evel
at that date.

munity canning and preserving.
At the alternate meeting each month
subjects of widespread interest are
discussed. On one occasion an inter-
esting address from our parish super
intendent of education did much to
timulate interest and cooperation in
school work. At a recent meeting we
studied taxation and papers were pre-
pared and read by members upon the
apportionment Of the various taxes.
At present we are studying the con.
stitution Of our state.

SHOULD MUSIC Be
TAUGHT IN SCHOOL

The most important work of the
schools is to give the children of the
coming generation the proper point of
view toward life and the rown re-
sponsibilities in living in busy world.
This must include an adequate know
ledge of the ways and means of COM
munication and something about meth
DDS of conducting their own profession
or calling. To this end, reading and
larlthmetic must be GIVEN first and Sec
ond places. After that, music is the
most important subject which may BE-
taught in the schools.
Music, more than any other subject.
gives the child an outlet for surplus
energy, and induces an attitude of
mind which allows the child to do his
best work in all the other subjects.
Furthermore, it is powerful agent
in securing better discipline as any
teacher can vouch for. It was for
this reason that the old time country
school teacher never neglected to have
singing for the morning exercises. It
was too bad that this custom ever
abated.
If utility is to be the test as to
whether or not music is to be inClud-
ed in the curriculum, then is should
; be next after reading and the simplest
operations in arithmetic. Honorable
P. P. Claxon, recently the United
States commissioner of education, said
that the average American woman
writes an average of thirty minutes
month after she is married. On the
other hand, if she learned to sing OF
play an instrument during l.er school
days, she will average thirty minutes
day for the rest of her life after
she is married at singing or playing
This is not an argument against learn
| ing to write, bl: should show that il
music is used thirty times as much
as writing, that It might be we'll tt
spend little more time on music
to say the very least.
In this day of keen competition, the
most importan: factor in success i:
an attatude Of steadiness toward tht
world about and toward ourselves IL
particular. There have been many
times in the tives of every person
over age or even past ten years old
that a crisis would have been avertet
if that person could only have hae
the courage to sing or whistle at tht
critical time. Now a person can mo-
sing if he does not know any songs
The schools should teach singing tt
all the children as a regular subject
If all the children are taught begin
ming at the age of six, there will no
be any greater differences Of abilit!
to read and understand music thai
there are now with respect to the
reading and writing of the mother
tongue.
| Music should be taught in the pub
lie schools.

W0MEN'S CLUB
HOUSE NOTES

Wednesday and Thursday, the 9TH
and Sth of June. will be red-letter
days in the history of Woman's club,
when the "Old-time Minstrel Show"
for the benefit of the club house will
take place.
The women who have charge Of the
management of the club house this
year, locking for ways to meet the
payment in June, decided to ask the
men folks to help them, and called up
on some of the leaders in the famous
"Mammoths," a local amateur min
strel organization that made Baton
Rouge famous several years ago, for
aid. The response was very gratify-
ing and others besides the Mammoths
were asked to assist in an old time
minstrel show.
State Treasurer, Howell Morgan, and
City Treasurer, Louis Ricaud, are both
in the cast, while F.. T. Voolfolk, DR..
E. P. Flower, Frank Baker and Ralph
Chambers constitute the end men. All
four are high class black-face artists.
The interlocutar, ]. St. Clair Favrot,
is known all over the state, but few
have seen him in such role. The
chorus and soloists consist of Profs.
Stopher, Jordan and Hendrix; Messrs.
Roger Swire, Izzy Ruman, George Full

bins, Pike Burden, Doc. Cozedessus,

liday Dupuy, Richard Cooter, Shirley
Hebert, Dalton Raymond, J. A. Batten,
and others, and stage manager, Hon.
H. F. Brunot.
As the club house can only seat two
hundred fifty (250) persons tickets will
he sold in advance and any one wish
ing to be sure of seats had better
phone to some member of the board of
managers and ask that seats be re-
served.
There have been several called
meetings of the Board of Managers
during the past month to discuss
means to meet the first payment on
the Club House which falls due on
June II.
Several of the clubs that own stock
in the Club House have been very act
i've in raising money to meet this note
of $2,4SO, and have taken varied means
of raising the small amount of $50
asked for by the Board from each
