William Meyers of Harvard high school gave an interesting t«lk to the assembled students of the local high school on Wednesday morning. He took the students on a mental trip from Illinois, through the southern states to Louisiana, showing the changing types of people, changing environment and the results thereof. Too, Mr. Meyers contrasted the educational system of the South with the educational system of the North, and pointed out to the students the exceptional privileges and opportunities they had in comparison with their southern brothers. His speech was made intensly interesting for having recently toured the south, therefore he painted vivid mental pictures of towns, plantations, and the larger cities of the cotton states in such a unique way that everyone especially enjoyed hii visit. The high school students were also given an interesting lecture Wednesday by R. W. Bills, who is engaged in publicity work by the U. S. department of agriculture. . He showed the pupils several -specimens of the "common barberry bush" which harbors and spreads the black stem rust of wheat, rye, oats, and barley and explained how there may be somc^ cf the bushes growing in this vicinity. Lantern slide pictures were used to show places in which bushes have been found and to illustrate the talk. The pupils were urged to report the location of any of. these bushes that they may find.
