THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION

As will be noticed elsewhere in oul
columns, there was a session of the new
state Board Of Education yesterday. The
meeting was an unusually interesting one,
and characterized by harmony thai
augured well for the future action of the
board.
The order of business WAS preceded by
an impressive invooi alton by the Rev. Mr..
Robinson, after which the president. Hon.
Thomas W. Conway, State Superintendent
of Public Education made brief but ex-
tremely appropriate and felicitous speech
in reference to the high duties, and serious
responsibilities of the board, and to the
vast and important work devolving upon
it, extending also cordial personal well
come to the members from the intsrior of
the State.
AS the proceedings are reported else
where, we will only add that we were
greatly pleased with the. spirit Of energy
and earnestness that seemed to pervade
the members. We sincerely trust that
under the auspices Of this board, Louisi-
ana will soon become the foremost State
of the South in the liberal extension to its
entire people Of the best facilities for the
wise education Of their children and
youth

THE OLD SCHOOL B0ARD,

At meeting of this body, held on
Wednesday night. proposition was sub.
mitted to hold on, and resist, or attempt
to resist, for another year. the transfer OF
authority and control to the new board.
The motion failed by tie vote. There
was a general understanding yesterday
that another meeting will be held tonight,
at which the defiant resolution will be
passed. But whatever they may resolve
upon, the disagreeable fact will remain
that they are body without The power OF
carrying ous their intents. Their friends,
the old Council, were unable to pay tn e
current expenses Of The schools; the new
board will be found unwilling to honor
any OF the bills of the old board after the
organization Of Tho new enc.
The teachers salaries are unpaid for
about six months. but Mr. Conway, State
Superintendent, is ready to pay over to
the Treasurer of the new board about
