Training School Boys Entertained.

The boys at the Louisiana Training
School are indebted to the Woman's
Missionary Society of the Methodist
church for an afternoon of fun and
frolic on Monday. The beautiful
green campus served as a wonderful
play ground for the games which
were enjoyed by every one.
Mrs. A. w. Waddill and Mrs. J. P,
Royce led the community songs and
the entertainers for the afternoon
were Helen Mccormick, Beatrice Co.
wan, Marjorie Henry, Susie Sholars
and Thomas Witt under the leader
ship of Miss Sarah Robinette.
The most delightful feature of the
afternoons pleasure was the music
rendered by the Training School boys
band. The band has made wonderful
progress since last November when it
was organized and is showing re-
markable talent among the boys
Their selections were really delight
full and too much cannot be said in
praise of their music and the spirit
of ambition manifested among them
Each member of the band was re-
splendant in new white uniform
and the most wonderfully interesting
thing about them was that they were
made by the boys themselves.

With women these are child welfare
home betterment, education, improved
industrial conditions, social health
JOY, and service, and international
peace. 1t is cheering tc see assem-
bled the ten thousand who have moi
yet bowed the knee to Baal. We
thought the elect were few, but there
are dear, good people everywhere
which reminds US of Stevenson's
verse.
ut is very nice to think
The world is full of meat and drink;
With little children saying grace
In every kind of Christian place.

Women of Louisiana who are be-
hind the proposed Industrial Home
for Incorrigible Women and Girls
have not lost hope, but, on the con-
trary, feel more optimistic than u.s.
ual, according to the leaders inc the
movement at Monroe. During the
weekend, according to Miss Julia
Wossman, one of the women of Mon
roe who has worked untireingly for
the movement, there have come reas-
surances from various parts of the
state, as to the possibility Of securing
an appropriation.

dorsed the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Webb for an appropriation

department C1uDS OF Monroe.
The Woman's Department Club be-
gan work for the new year on We'd
nesday, June 2l, when a meeting of
the board Of directors, heads of de-
partments, and heads Of standing
committees met in the Council Cham
GER, with splendid attendance and
most gratifying results.
The first business was election Of
heads for departments, departments
to remain as named last year.
Mrs. E. L. Owens was reelected
chairman of civics; Mrs. Frank Ken
nedy, chairman of education; Miss
Ida Benton, literature; Miss Julia
Wcssman, business and professional
women and Mrs. Dan McCranie, mu-
Isle.
Chairmen of standing committees
as follows:
Membership, Mrs. Albert Horutf;
finance, Mrs. W. J. Jones; house, Mrs.
Hyman Leibreich; legislation, Miss
Dorothy Schulze; auditing, Miss
Edith Gunby; entertainment, Mrs.
Harry Oliver;
Plans for each department are be-
ing perfected and promise beneficial
years work. The literary department
alone, will be worth price Of member
ship. Miss Ida Benton will lecture
once month on subjects of her own
choosing. This means university
course at home for the women of
Monroe. Our city has a valuable as
set in Miss Benton, and the Depart
ment Club is honored to claim her a
member and be able to present her
in lecture.
The Business and Profession Wom-
en- are pushing their campaign for
state establishment of training school
for delinquent girls. Why such ef-
forts for boys as we see manifested
in our state school here in Monroe,
and not one cent of state aid for the
same class of girls? Do you not be-
lieye girls need help and protection
more than boys? These business and
professional women are doing con-
structive work in other ways as well.
Civics and music will announce
their plans later.
The question of attractions for
the coming season was discussed.
|Seversl famous artists may be OBJ
tanned, prominent among them being
Louise Homer, whom we may secure
for October, but as has been repeat
edly stated, if attractions Of this
class are brought here by the De-
partment Club, the cooperation of
every one is absolutely demanded.
The expense is great, the seating ca
pacity of Saenger's limited and OF
course only a night performance
given. This being true, it has been
decided that for all these high priced
numbers, perhaps two for next sea-
son, each member will be asked to pay
a small entrance fee, not half price
but probably a dollar. For cheaper
attractions, the membership card
alone will entitle the holder to a seat
free.
The board wishes to urge all women
who expect to join the club, to call
|Mrs. Mobley, phone 1883 and tell her
to count you member. If you can
not mail check now, phone her
anyway and send check by September
first.
/ The success Of the undertaking de-
pends on you doing this, so don't put
it off.

Pursuant to the course that l have fol-
lowed throughout this campaign, of re-
fusing to weary the public by discussion
of matters which are not germane to the
real issues involved-preferring to appeal
to the calm, deliberate and sober judg-
ment rather than to passion and preju-
dice, and in keeping with my policy Of
stating from time to time my position on
matters of public interest; looking to the
upbuilding of our city, commercially, in
dustrially and socially, will say:
First: That in my opinion the very
foundation of the growth and stability of
any commonwealth is proper under
standing, trust, and good will between the
commercial, industrial and business life,
on the one hand, and the wage Garner on
the other; the conditions prevailing here
in this respect fully satisfying this be-
lief, cannot see why by any sound rea-
son or wellmeaning motive this subject
should be agitated. AS matter of good
morals, sound judgment, proper policy and
good taste, it is the duty Of every good
,citizen to do his utmost to continue this
much desired condition. along with
vast majority of my fellow-workers, have
always striven to accomplish this end. If
am elected the sacred oath Of office that
assume, my desire at all times for law
and order and my conscience shall govern
my every act.
Second: The Commission Council will
hold regular monthly meetings on a stated
date and hour; will be called together
oftener when occasion demands, and in
every instance published notice of these
meetings will be given; the public vel
coined so they may have the opportunity
of expressing their views on all matters
that so vitally concern them.

sources of revenue, as we'll as all moneys
expended-itemized in manner that the
taxpayers will understand, as they have
right ito know how their money is being
used and for what purposes.
have assurances from member Of the
incoming Commission Council which place
me in position to say with full confidence
that the policies that l have heretofore
outlined, as we'll as the ones herein stated,
can and will be lived up to.
cannot refrain from again saying that
want my campaign to be an index to my
proposed administration-free from NAL
ice, venom or hatreds on the one hand, or
favoritism on the other-for certainly
otherwise there cannot be a successful
city governmental proper representa-
tion of the people as whole.
In closing let me again thank the good
people-men and women-for their loyal
support, for their untiring efforts in my
behalf. l realize fully that it is the sprin-
ciples which l advocate-the confidence
and belief you good people have that will
live up to the promises that have made
that is causing the forward movement to
gain momentum from day to day. Be un-
firing from now until the close of the polls
on July 4th, and I will pledge you that
when assume the duties of the office OF
Mayor, that l will so act as to retain this
confidence that l will do my full part
toward realizing your ambitions of max

gressive Baton Rouge.
