COUNCILMAN SHAFER's reason for the
removal of Major Furrey will strike
everybody as being unanswerable and
conclusive. whilst our action" says
this model exponent of justice, "may
cast stigma upon a business man,
major Furrey, yet he has only received
tit for tat.'" There's fair play and
statesmanship for you! Condemn man

THE only charge contained in the reso-

Furrey is that his course had been criti-
cized. The Nervousness of such charge
is something appalling, and if Major
Furrey was really guilty of it, the Coun-
cil fell short of inficting a just punish
ment in merely csshiering him. They
should have hanged, drawn and quart

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The prime cause OF improvements
of most kinds is the necessity aris-
ing in the minds of the people for
them, and longer and better schools
are needed.
With each school district in our
parish anxious to have good school;
with plenty of educators, who, by
their work during the past school
session, gave plain evidence of com
potency, energy and determination to
continually improve their school
work; with school officials fully alive
TO the Importance Of untiring pro-
gress in schools; with the assistance
given for educational purposes by
our police jury, who are our repre-
sentative men from ten different Sec
tions of our parish, it seems that the
time has come in the history of our
parish, when a new era ought to be
inaugurated IN public school work.
To have better, and continually
better schools, will require the COM
bined efforts of teachers, school
directors and superintendent, and
being in position to know, have no
hesitation in saying or promising all
will be generously given to the best
of their abilities, and firmly believe
we will have the assistance of large
majority of our citizens to help ac-
complish the desired end, which
ought to be obtained in the coming
school session.
Teachers and superintendent
| should work unitedly together in all
things; should be in harmony, each
striving to promote the school inter
ests as best they can.
The superintendent can do moth
ing unless he has teachers. They
(the teachers) need his support, as
sstance and encouragement in many
of the different school duties that
devolves upon them in the manage
ment of their schools. Superintend-
ent should be their true friend, ad-
vising, assisting, sustaining them in
proper discipline, in general manage.
ment, and decide all differences that
may arise between patrons and
teachers.
ask the active assistance of all
who are interested in education tt
help devise the best plan to educate
the masses of our school children.
The first decided step taken fol-
th Improvement of schools will com
mence on Monday, the second day
of September, which is the day fol-
our high school to start in Alexan
dria. This school should have thu
active support Of all our citizens
the fostering care Of our police jury
so that its status may soon become
the pride of our parish and be al
honor to Louisiana.
Prof. w. J. Calvit, the prihcipa
teacher, has been requested by me t
hand his essay on "Co-education O
the Sexes" written last winter, Il
Alexandria p, pes for publication
and hope the benefit to be derived
from reading the same will justify it
publication.
There were several essays read il
institutes last school session, that, il
my opinion, will be interesting t
general readers, and l know they ar
instructive to teachers and parent
and hope to see them printed in bot
of Alexandrias papers.
