I'm all communities there are
number of men who in their you'll
through poverty or from othe
. causes. have been deprived of tn
advantages of education. In late
years they feel and fully appreciat
the need of that knowledge whicl
would render them better able {,
fight life's battle; and also plac
them more on an equality with thei
fellows. Owing to the many res
possibilities that face every man
they find it impossible to attend ane

The ''Cherokee" plan for work
ing the public roads is a good one;
the only change we could suggest
which We believe might be an i'm
Provement on it, would be, that
instead of deviding the work into
five mile contracts, let it be appor-
toned by wards. Have it under
stood between the parish, and the
several contractors that the work
will be paid for after completion,
and acceptance by suitable COM
mittee to be appointed by the police
jury. This proposition would ac-
complish three purposes. The con-
tractors would in the first place
hasten to finish and submit their
work; secondly the parish would
risk nothing: "No work, no pay"
a rule that governs every legitimate
undertaking; lastly these contracts
would very likely be awarded to
residents of the wards through which -!
such roads lead and be conducive |
to certain rivalry that would prove !
beneficial to the public At large. In
addition to the regular rate agreed !
1pon, let the police jury offer a !
premium of a certain amount to the !
doing the best work.
