State Superintendent Fay has ut last
opened his eyes to the fact that the
State Legislature has applied the school
fund to other objects besides the main
tenance of the public schools. The Item
pointed all this out while the Legisla-
ture was in session, when, possibly, a
vigorous protest from him might have
prevented the evil. The public schools
will, practically receive no assistance
from the State educational fund this
year. Mr.. Fay may succeed in prevent
ing the State University md tie Me-
chanics and Agricultural College from
getting any Of the money, but it can not
be drawn for educational purposes with
out further legislation. The last report
we have had of the condition OF this
fund showed a balance of seventeen
thousand dollar to be distributed among
the fifty six parishes of the State. This
amounts to few mills more than five
cents for each educable child in Louisi.

extremely high in public estimation
and both are possessed of undisputed
