! To the General Assembly Of tho State Of Lou
Ia consequence of my recognition OF the
danger OF the enactment of legislation in
furious to the interests OF public education
in this city and State, l hasten to avail
myself Of this opportunity to appeal to you
to abstain from any alienation OF tbs now
extremely Hmlteu SUN uefOteu to puDnC
education.
In my last annual report. just submitted
to your honorable body, show that the
demand for increased facilities for educating
the youth OF this State grOwsupon US every
day. and in vain do We confess our inability
to meet these necessities. With every
nerve strained to ecOnomize our resources
and to restrict exclusively to school pur-
poses every available dollar of school
money, can not but view with the greatest
concern and regret any effort to ALLEVIATE
any portion of the sum now devoted to the
education of the children OF Louisiana,
knowing, as l do, that the inevitable result
OF the diversion of any such considerable
portion of school funds seems to be con-
templatad must be to drive from the schools
hundreds if not thousands Of unfortunate
youths.
Assured, gentlemen, that you can not ba
indifferent spectators OF the great struggle
cause OF public education is having with the
the enemies OF the system, and confident
that your attention needs but to be invited
to the great injury that will be inflicted ON
our schools by the diversion of any portion
OF the school funds, rely on you for the
protection OF the school revenues OF the
State.
Respectfully,
WILLIAM G. BROWN,
State Superintendent OF Public Education.
