The board met. pursuant to the call Of
the president.
Members present-William G. Brown,
president, and Messrs. George b. Loud. E.
S. Stoddard, p. NJ Williams. Charles w.
Heating. Charles w. Boothby.
Minutes of the last meeting read and ap-
proved.
Superintendent Brewster, chairman of
the committee ON finance and claims, sub
mitted the following report:
To the President and Members Of the State Board
of Education:
Your COMMITTEES on finance and claims
have carefully considered the claims sub
mitted by persons asking payment for ser.
vices as teachers in the public schools prior
to the organization OF the present system.
1t is our opinion that no claims of this kind
should be approved or allowed by the State
board, and in support OF this opinion we
present the following reasons:
First-All such claims are prescribed by
lapse of time.
Second--The school. which it is claimed
were taught were not free public schools;
no such schools existed at that time in
Louisiana, tor only a certain class Of pupils
were taught: they were not free to all.
Consequently the funds now intended for
education Of all classes should not be used
Tor payment of teachers employed in those
exclusive schools.
Third-There is not sufficient proof pre-.
scented TO establish the fact that ths ser.
vices were rendered, Or that payment was
not made. To obtain such proof would cost
the claimants more than the sum claimed.
Fourth-The school fund OF each year
should be used exclusively for the support
of schools in that year. We have no au.
thority or right TO use the fund OF the year
1874 to pay teachers who taught in any pre-
yious year.
For these reasons we respectfully submit
that all the claims presented for services
rendered previous to the reconstruction of
the State. after the close OF the war. be dis
allowed.

IN the CommunicasionS.i
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
see by she proceedings Of the Legisla-
ture that bill has passed the Senate to
reduce the fees of the district attorney from
$ls to s. 80. Ihave taken tho trouble to
ascertain what the fees paid to this officer
are. find from the reports Of Admins.
traitors of Public Accounts for the past
three years that the fees paid by the city to
district attorneys do not exceed $1,000 per
annum. l: is also fact tina: this sum does
not realize moro than sixty to seventy per
cent, on account Of the ci.y's inability 20
pay cash. Therefore the amount actually
received from the city does not exceed
$1,000. The State pays district attorneys
$500 year. payable quarterly. This sum
does not realize more than $1,000 on account
of the discount on State warrants. Then
the office is worth bu: $4,000. If this bill
should pass it would not be worth but $4,000.
I believe that the services rendered are
worth the price paid under the present law.
and do not believe in putting this officers
salary in the same category with othcers
who receive $4,000 to $500 a year.
FAIR PLAY.

> Colonel James il right in saying the
others are not in his hands. Convict did
not intend to mention any that were there.
But we arc glad he did. Their testimony
has been brought up against his. Tho ceI-
tificate Of Bean and Wood says they made
their statements under oath. 1t rather de-
tracts from the value Of this certificate that
the name of no magistrate is give and some
one forgot to atfx the jurat.
But it is enough. Colonel James thinks
convict testimony admissible on his side
and it is all he offers. Cenvict's statement
is placed on level with his own, and we will
leave the Legislature. the public and the
Attorney General to judge between them.

Keep Il Few Bees.

Every farmer should at least keep one
or two colonies of bees, SO as to have
honey occasionally on the table, and
there is no good reason why most farm
ers should not keep enough to have
honey common article of diet. Mil
lions of pounds of honey go to waste
every year, just for want of bees to
gather it.
1t Is estimated that one acre of good
buckwheat in blossom will yield 25
pounds of honey per day. When bass
wood is in blossom theyield is immense.
Wherever white clover abounds there is
a sure crop of honey. Nothing but
ignorance can account for the great
scarcity Of bee keeping farmers. Now
a-days the women are beginning to take
this matter in hand. The good wife who
posts herself on the subject need have
no great trouble in obtaining honey
enough to place upon the table whenever
company comes and some for every day
use besides. We shall be glad to have
reports from those who have kept bees,
either as to their success or their failure.
If any have questions to ask on the
subject, let them not hesitate. We
shall be glad to answer them.
