The Crops Again.


But a few days ago the farmers
OF this parish were in good spirits
over the outlook of the cotton
crop. Indeed the prospects were
never better and without some
disaster the yield would have been
larger than could have been
gathered with the force Of hands
who cultivated the crop. But
during the last few days those
inevitable pests, the worms, have
made q terrible raid on the cotton
patch, and many pieces Of cotton
that promised month ago to
make 1000 pounds Of seed cotton
per acre, has been damaged by
the worms so that the yield has
been reduced to 500 pounds. At
ieast this is the kind of reports
that VIC iicar daily from some Of
the best farmers Of the parish.
Most of the damage appears to be
done by the boil worm, and some
Of the farmers who have applied
Paris Green say that it is not
sufficient to destroy this worm.
While these dIscouragjng reports
come from some Of our best far
mcrs, we hear others say that She
soll worm is about like it is every
year md that there is no serious
cause OF alsru. We tope however,
that 1t is not IS Lad rs some think,
and that there will yet be & good
crop Of cotton made. This hot
dry weather is unrayo-ablv 10 the
worms and it may he that their
worst damage has been done.
But should the cotton crop prove
a failure the people OF this parish
may congratulate themselves that
com q plenty has been made to
supply the hemc demand, unless
on account Of its abundance it is
used in extravaganza. Our people
should take care Of tho corn SO
when next spring Games they will
rot have to ship from o.Aer states,
as WAS The case this year.

Notwithstanding the boasted

if her case were in the United

follows and the instructions. he gives,
| and his nose will inform him Of what
tattention the teacher gives to ventila-
tion and cleanliness looking to the
health and comfort of the scholars.
1t must not be expected that the
teacher should make the little repairs
intimated and the cleanin2to be done
at his own expense, but il there is any
expense attending them, the teacher
should present an iternized account OF
the same at the close Of the school
term and no trustees will refuse to
approve his just claim and no board
of education refuse to pay his account.
II the teacher should he lady, she
can get the older boys to attend to
the little repairs for her and IL there
are no boys she should herself call
the attention of the trustees to her
needs.
TO AID THE SUPERINTENDENT IN HIS
VISITS.
The following questions are sug-
gested to recall to his memory what
he wants to learn.
What is the condition of the fences,
trees, shrubbery and outbuildings
about the school house?
Are these and the school building
carefully looked after by the teacher
| and trustees?
What is the condition of the school
furniture and fixtures? Are they prop
erly looked after by the teacher and
is the school room kept clean, COM
Portable and we'll ventilated?
Does the behavior of the pupils in
dictate that the proper discipline is
maintained?
Do the pupils and classes move
about the school room in a quiet and
orderly manner and do they show a
proper respect to the wishes Of the
teacher?
Is the school regularly classified and
graded and is the teacher careful to
keep up his classification and grades?
Are the school exercises conducted
in systematic and orderly manner?
Does the teacher teach by example
as well as precept? Does he keep his
daily register properly and does he
keep a class book in addition to the
register?
Are the pupils, according to their
age and progress, required to study
all the branches prescribed for the
primary schools? If not, why not2
Is the school supplied with the fur
niture and fixtures necessary for the
comfort, convenience and progress OF
the pupils?
Is the attendance regular and
prompt and is the teacher careful to
make the absentees keep up with their
classes?
Does the teacher have regular week
ly reviews for his older pupils and
how are they conducted2
Does the teacher have occasional
oral and written exercises in sentence
making and composition?
How does he supplement the work
of the text book in explaining and
simplifying the subject to the pupils
in order to secure more interest in
school work.
Are the Rotations conducted in
such a manner as to draw out what
the pupils know about the matter,
or to learn what they remember of
the text books and rules?
Any deficiencies and delinquencies
on the part Of the teacher should be
privately brought to his notice by the
Superintendent and the matter re-
ported to the trustees in writing for
their consideration and guidance.
