J G. w. S.-The legislature so-called
has made,so many changes in the laws
and has SO fixed up things to suit their
peculiar IDEAS, that VIC really can uo'
tell whether OF not Il child whose par,
ents lives in one parish is entitled tt
go to The public schools in another
parish. Our opinion is, that it was
Originally intended that the schoo
ciilafen Of each parish should attend
the schools of that parish. The reason
Of this is apparent from the fact that
each parish draws it's pro rata of the
the school funl in accordance with the
number Of school children in that par,
islI, as ascertained by the census and
that II children were permitted to &C
from the schools OF one parish tc
another, it would be an easy matter t,
require some one parish to support and
provide teachers for IL much larger
number Of children than was contcm
plated, while some other parish with
ample provisions for large numbe,
Of childlen, might have only few
scholars to educate. The residence
or domicilo Of the Manor is the domicile
Of the parents, the place where Iris OF
her parents pay their share Of the
school tax.
With the information at our com
mand at present, mo are inclined to
answer your questions in the negative.
There will be found in another
column q communication from Indica-
tor which calls attention to a source of
great Inconvenience to large poT-
ton Of the people Of our parish, the
want of mail facilities. This is particu-
larry true Of the Pincwoods portion of
the parish and they seem to have been
utterly overlooked by the Post Office
authorities.
The promptness with whiciso several
applications, within our knowledge,
have been responded TO, leads us be-
lieve that perhaps the petition Of which
Indicator speaks never reached the
property authority. It may he that it
they had addressed the post master
General direct they would have been
relieved. We are willing to do all in
our power to assist him and his neigh
bors and will send a copy of The
Caucasian with his letter ma, ked to the
Post Master General. and if he will
get up another petite n we will publish
it and send the original, with the pub
lcation to the same authority. Let
Indicator get up q petition, describe
tho route, recommended some one for
Post Master and We feel confident that
his case will meet the attention it de-
serves, and that they viii soon have a
post office and post master. He oand
his neishbors will have, however, to
find somebody to carry the mails cheap
