Paint the School House.

L
Every year."
So is the school-house.
Let us pain her tPREcEproR.
Whether a child be destined to
adopt profession, a trade or be
tiller of the soil, the advance
ment of civilization has made it a
necessity that he should have
some education in order to sue
cessfully undertake the struggle
for existence" The great ques-
ton which i'll large rs we'll as
small communities, is deservedly
receiving the most attention at
present is how shall we educate
our children. The problem to
those who have the means to have
their children attend private
schools is of no great Importance.
It presents, however, a different
aspect to the small farmers and
the wage earners who can hardly
manage to supply food to their
families.
The public school, one Of the
characteristic institutions of our
great country is the only perve-
yor of free unsectarian education
for the poor as well as for the
wealthy.
But public school without the
moral support of the community
in which it exists, is like a body
in which life is nearly extinct.
The stolid indifference of our
people towards the cause of free
education has to a great extent
thwarted the diligent efforts made
by the teacher of the st. Martin
vile public school, to advance the
school to the status which right
fully belongs to it. This school
house when built was intended to
be occupied as a high school. The
recent contest for the Baton
Rouge cadet-ship has surprised
the people" as Preceptor said in a
previous edition of the Messenger
and showed that although 10 one
knew it, Professor Beall had
long before earned the title OF
High School, for his school.
This school should be given all
the help in the power of the peo-
pie. 1t is all that it now lacks.
Under the leadership of the
energetic superintendent of the
Parish, Mr.. P. d. Olivier, the peo-
pie have largely contributed to
the financial success of the enter
tainment given to raise money to
purchase desks for the school.
If such entertainments were to
take place more frequently it
would tend to remind the white
population of their obligations to-
wards the public school, it would
also be a means of securing mo-
ney for improving the school
house, thus making it comfortable
for the teachers and scholars.
Let us join hands, citizens of St.
Martinville, and make of our
school, one to which the other
schools of the parish will send
their children for higher educa-
ton, school that will give COM
plete course of learning to our
children and of which we will be
Justly proud.

Tho Conptroller's Error.

Tho present. Comptroller OF tho
Currency, q well-moaning but ignor-
ant young man from the prairies of
Illinois, talks Of "the IS cent dollar"
de means the silver dollar. It is q
common error 10 those Of Mr.. Eckles'
caiibec and Information to thus speak
OF that coin. We're things unknown
proposed as things forgot it would be
in order to re mind the roonometallists
what the meaning is of the tern "dol-
lar" The word dollar originally
meant silver coin, aud that il it's
meaning to-day among most people.
1t is absurd aud unhistorical for
our unsoPhisticated Comptroller of
the Currency to say the sllvor dollar
is worth sixty-tive cents. 1t is worth
just one hundred eents-and it
always has been worth that much.
The gold dollar is modern irven-
ton. Millions Of people in this coun-
try never saw IT., and don't know
what it looks like. When it was first
coined, within the memory of middle
aged mem, it was measured by the sill
YER dollar, and made to conform in
weight, value and tineness to it..
Comptroller Eckles has no authority
to invert the historical and estab-
lished order-place the gold coin be-
fore the silver and measure the
ancient dollar method by it's modern
coadjutor. It is gold that haa grown
comparatively scarce and dear-not
silver that mas grown plentiful and
cheap.-Mining and Scientific Press,

If all Offices under the Democratic
administration could be filed with
such men as b. d. Smalley, who has
just been appointed Collector of Gus
toms for this district, hecountry would
be better governed and the Democratic

its lease Of power. In this case, the
man is better than his party-so much
better that the papers of all shades Of
belief most heartily commend his APP
pointment.
