TEACHERS SHOULD BE
Phi"

36A Cx7ENAC A0xxOOAD DE-
PA/D.
According to a resolution of the
parish School Board the public
school teachers of this parish will
be required to attend the Summer
Normal school, to be held in Lafa-
yette four weeks, beginning May 81.
1t does not appear from the official
proceedings whether the teachers are
to be paid for the time devoted to
attending the Normal, and the
teachers at their last meeting or in
stitute took the matter under con-
sideration. BY resolution adopted,
the Board was requested to meet in
special session, to give opportunity
for the teachers to present their
claim for payment during the four
weeks attendance. When it is
considered that the regular school
term of ten months has been re-
duced to nine by the holding of the
Summer Normal, and further con-
sidering the small salary usually
paid public school teachers it
would be imposing hardship upon
them, to enforce or even s'request"
them to devote such a length of
time in the 'sservice of the Board"
without remuneratio n. We say
'sservice off the Board'' ad-
visedly for the attendance is in
accordance with the requirements
of the resolution of the Board re-
ferred to above, and that body GER
tainly expects and will demand more
efficient and methodical work of
every teacher during the next schol-
astic year.
The policy of the State law is
very clearly set forth in the follow
ing excerpt, and the local Board
will doubtless conform their action
in the premises to it: Section 81
of the school laws provides, Gas a
means of improving and making
more efficient the teachers of the
public schools, of the State of
Louisiana, and awakening a deeper
public interest in said schools, the
state superintendent of public edu-
cation shall cause to be held each
year at least twenty weeks of State
Teachers Institutes"
Section 70 provides that ssany
public school teacher, failing to at
tend the Institute held in his par
ish without an excuse satisfactory
to the Board of School Directors
thereof, shall Immediately, upon
demand of the parish superintend-
ent, forfeit his certificate and lose
his position; and each public school
teacher in attendance upon the In
stitute, shall receive the same COM
pensation for the time of attend
ance, as for actual teaching,
zuhefhcr the sehooI be tn session or
no<."
In conclusion, let it not be sup
posed that the teachers are to sit
passively in comfortable places and
drink in refreshing and entertaining
streams of eloquence, from con-
ductors gifted in all the qualifica-
tions peculiar to the profession of
advanced pedagogy, but, will on
the other hand, be required to
study hard every subject assigned
and enter just as fully into the work
as if in the every day performance
of school duty. Faithful and con-
scientious teachers deserve liberal
consideration, and any short
sighted policy on the part of the
Board may result in serious disaf-
lection and ultimate injury 10 the
cause. Therefore in order that the
teachers may all enter into the
work with undampened ardor, The
Gazette urges that full pay be al
lowed and thus will be given an

HISTORICAL.

The oldest wood building in the
world is said to be the church at Bor-
gund, in Norway. 1t was built in the
eleventh century, and has been protect
ed by frequent coatings of pitch. 1t
is built of pine and in fantastic Roman
esque design.
The wedding ring is of very ancient
origin, and has always, so far as is
known, been placed on the fourth finger.
During the reign of Elizabeth, however,
Englishwomen used to transfer it to
the thumb Immediately after the mar
riage ceremony.
The battle of Bosworth, where Rich
ard Ill. lost his life, was fought on lit
tie hamlet of the same name, - miles
west of Leicester. On the hill over the
town, now called Crown hill, monu-
ment marks the spot where the crown
of Richard was placed on the head OF
Henry.
The ring, as an accessory of the mar
riage ceremony, was i'll use long before
the Christian era. In Egypt, at very
early time, gold money used 20 circu-
late in the form of rings, and the
Egyptian, at his marriage, placed one
of these gold rings on his wife's finger to
signify that he intrusted her with all
his property: So, too, with us, when
the bridegroom places the ring On his
brides finger, he says: with all my
worldly goods | thee endow."

A Partisan scientist asserts that be

Germany. In 1895 England imported;
I,:5O. 900. .O0O eggs. for which was paid
about $40, 100000. The eggs came princ;-
pally from France. During the same
year Germany imported 20,OG0,030
pounds of eggs. also representing about
500. .OOO. 900. Most of these eggs came
