Tho capacity of the chamber of commc-rce auditorium.

James Building' was taxed to its nth degree to accomodate this eager throng of rural pe bent on adding to its store of worth-while knowledge. In fact, the adjoining office roo'us were pressed into service by leaving the opening into the largo auditorium open and packing many or the visitors in these office rooms. The program, handlsd by Prof A. E. Phillips, principal of the Model School at Louisiana Teen, aided by Sidney Stewart, superintendent of the North Louisiana Ex- Station, Calhoun, was with music furnished by Mr.

and Mrs. E. J. Posey and charming littls daughter, Doris, aged seven, the father playing a viclin, the mother a guitar and little Doris handling a mandolin with a skill that was far beyond her years. Also, B.

C. Rodgers and two sons, James and Mayther, added several numbers with the violin and two guitars. The Rodgers trio hails from Terryville, Ward Two. The Posey trio represents the Douglass-Si'bley community. Each of these musical aggregations is hearing, and each mads many friends by Friday night's program.

Prof. Phillips, taking as his theme, "Nature drew a very beautiful an-d very attractive word picture? of the coin-, inon facts in about usif and coupled with his picture, a very convincing appeal for a wider and a closer and a better working knowledge of the beauty and force of nature. Supt. Stewart gave a very interesting account of many of the projects on which his station forces. are now at work, with some details as to the out-come of some of these experiments.

He closed with an invitation to Lincoln parish farmers to visit the station as often as practicable, that they may get first-hand data about what the state is doing ever there. Refreshments were served by the firm of S. M. Richardson Son, with emphasis on Robert Richardson, assisted by his beautiful and charming bride few weeks, with Sain Henderson, Miss Jessie Robertson and Miss Alene Richardson, were in charge of the refreshments that made the visitors dou'bly glad. Sandwiches and cold drinks, served tastily and timely, seemed to just "hit tUe spot" as it were and left a very favorable impression on those fortunate enough to be present.

See to it that directors of city departments are trained administrators. These are three goals toward which English local gov rnmerits will work if they follow recommendations of the Hadow Committee recently made, which William A. Robson. of tho University of London, reviews in the current issue of Public Management. The suggestions are equally applicable in this country, says Clarence E.

Ridley, editor of the Journal. Local govo.rnmont service in England is at present, divided between the rank and file of the service and 1 the heads of departments, or directing the report points out. It Ir mially only men with profession 0 lawyer, who can become department heads. This may not be the wisps' move, since legal or medical training does not always mean that the candidate has ability as an administrator, who is needed for these Jobs. To secure ideal public sewants, the Committee advises: 1.

That local authorities take advantage of their spent on higher education by arranging for promising young recruits from the schools to receive practical training in administration, keeping thorn on as probationers a year or two 'before appointing them permanently. 2. That examinations be used in both the clerical and technical offices, so that the public service employee's ability may be Indexed. That a continuous record be kept of every employee, so that his progress and efficiency may be noted. making possible promotions on ability.

3. That transfer of employees in clerkships be made possible among departments, so that opportunity will be given the rising generation of public officers to broaden their outlook. The Hadow Committee's definition of a well-qualified public officer is "a man of broad and constructive outlook, Interested 1 in the wider issues of local government, and experienced in administration."

Holmes can skim over the high timbers and do very well witU high Jumping, but like Garrett, will not have a pointing running mate.

Last spring Tech had men in nearly every event. This spring the team will do well to have one good performer per event. In the distance Coach Shirley has a new delegation entirely to start with, and too much cannot be expected from them during the first season. Wilkes is out in front for the two-mile, with Hogan and Bennett taking the Job for the mile. Bill Taylor and Knowles will be probable starters for half-mile.
