cular, which explains itself:
BATON ROUGE, March Il, 1898.
To Parish Superintendents:
The Board of Trustees of the Pea
body educational fund has again gen
erously provided the means for the
summer institute work in Louisiana,
and it is proposed to hold teachers
institutes of one weeks duration in
as many parishes as possible. These
institutes will be held in May OF June
under the direction of the State Su-
perintendent of Public Education
and the President of the State Nor
NAL School.
In order to facilitate the early sec
ton of suitable places every parish
superintendent is hereby requested
to answer the following questions at
his earliest convenience:
l. Is an institute desired, and at
what time and place?
2 What would be the probable
attendance of teachers from yours
and adjoining parishes?
3. What facilities would be offer
ed in the way Of hall, music ant
board for the institute party and Wis
iting teachers?
4. What local teachers or educa
tors could be called upon to assis
the institute party by reading paper
OF discussing educational topics, i
such assistance should be found nee
essary?
5. When will the public schools 0
the parish close?
Replies should reach this Office b

ton of places may be made befor
the next negular meeting of Paris

Texas Farm and Ranch: Henry
Clews, in his financial circular, states
that the banks could, without one
cent of cost or shadow Of risk, place
the financial condition Of the govern
ment above question, but they refuse
to do it. When the banks are in
any danger they are always ready to
call upon the government for aid
When the government is struggling
to maintain the pledged amount OF
''free gold" although the banks are
burdened with the yellow metal, they
are not willing to help the national
trearury out. There is more blood
in turnip than patriotism in hun
dred streets like Wall street, where
liberty, country, public virtue Oh
private rights would be fed to dogs
if thereby financial advantages might
be obtained.
