The violators of law cost this
parish at least twice as much as
It's other expenses combined; and
they will continue to do so until
Jurors get to convicting and the
courts to Furnishing them for
their crimes. It costs about as
much to try and acquit a crimi-
nal as it does to convict him.
while one conviction would very
often save the parish the cost of
a number of trials. Suppose the

that the average expenses of q re-

many, are graat. An exchange says:
There are scattered all over Prus-
STA schools where quite as good a
classical education as any given in
this country can be had for from
$3.50 to 500 a year. These schools
correspond to our high schools and
academies. They have libraries and
philosophical apparatus, and are
under the charge of highly trained
teachers. They are attended by
more than $4,000 day scholars, great
numbers of them the sons of shop.

ments, whose regulations rest on
the solid work of their lives. We
boast OF the general diffusion of ag-

far behind the Germans. The Ger

giving his sons a first class educa.

low cost. The system and it's re.
suits are full of the most instructive
lessons, which Americans should |
