he would be mighty sorry he took it. An,

Educational Matters in the Fifth Division
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:

MONROE, May IA, 1879
A few items about the public schools in
, the Fifth District may not be altogether
| uDinteresting to your readers. The high
water in Madison, Richland and other par
| ishes in the eastern part of this district has
somewhat interfered with the work of the
division superintendent, as it rendered
travel impossible. Superintendent Brews-
ter has, however, held several public exam
nations of teachers, and sufficient nnm.
Der of certificates havo been issued to cup
ply all the schools which can be opened at
this term OF the year with instructors. The
small amount of money available for school
Impossible to provide schools for all the
children who need and desire instruction.
Of the fifteen parishes in the district only
four have levied any local tax for the sup
port OF schools. All the others depend on
the income from the interest on the school
land fund and two mill State tax.
Carroll, Madison and Concordis, each
receive about $4,000 per annum as interest
on the school land fund Tensas receives
about $1,000 annually. The other parishes
receive sums varying from S 90 down to
less than SIS.
Large sumo due from purchasers Of
school lands remain unpaid, and no effort
is made to collect them. 1t is made the
duty otdistrict attorneys to attend to this
matter, and their attention has been repeat
edly called to this tact, still no action is
taken. The claims are fast being prescribed
by the lapse of time, and thus immense loss
is sustained. The land which Congress
gave to provide means to educate the chill
dren of all the people has been shamefully
mismanaged from first to last, and tens of
thousands of children are growing up in
ignorance. VICTOR.
