Louisiana Immigration Alteration.

The Louisiana immigration Association is a
chartered institution formed for the purpose of
securing desirable immigrants to this state.
The Association will keep a book in which lists
of lands and their description and price will be
entered for the inspection of such persons as
may visit our state with the view of purchasing
lands for homes. The office at Shreveport is in
q suitabletr9rtion OF the city, close to all hotels
The es Associsslss will also answer all questions
with ID officers. fesIll also advertise louis.
lana e6broad, especiaEk in the states of the
northwest. The Assoc2zFon is simply an or
ganized effort to set Firth the advantages Of
Louisiana as a home AID to bring together the
land seeker and land SELLER. 1t relies on the
patriotic public spirited citizens and land
owners to take stock which is 4 90 per share.
Its charter provides that it shall pay no divi-
dends, hence all stockholders understand that
they are uniting in q collective capacity to de-
velope the state. The present is the most suit
able time for this work as the completion of q
great trunk line railway to Shreveport from the
great grain producing centre, whose CONNER
cial emporium is Kansas City, brings Louisiana
in close touch with Nebraska, Kansas and the
great Northwest. The Association earnestly
requests land owners, particularly those having
large bodies, to send on their lists with postage
for correspondence. There will be no fee for
entering the lists OF lands or correspondence
relative thereto.

COrp0re0I Punishment.

Corporal punishment is a %hackneye1
subject in our educational journals
throughout the United States. but still
WI find ourselves confronted with it
time and again.
Many schools prosper admirably with
it, and vice versa. Where the schools
are composed Of a selected attendance,
whose higher and nobler feelings can be
touched through sympathy, corporeal
punishment is severely and justly con
demned. Where the schools are com
posed of an attendance of the mixed
public corporeal punishment is admiss-
able, but not always advisable.
We believe IL one has studied child
nature and psychology, and also the
theory of teaching, it should be left to
his Judgment as to what sort of punish
meDt il most needed in our schools. No
sincere teacher will ever administer the
wrong punishment o administer it un-
reasonably or cruelty if he loves his pu-
pills and understands bis work.
Taking for granted that all said above
ia true, and that corpOreal punishment
can be safely used we find ourselves
confronted with another serious ques-
ton: Have you got teachers with the
above requirements Ii you have, you
may with perfect safety put your chill
dreI 10 the hands OF your teachers; if
you have not then you may as well send
them to a jockey and have their educa-
ton completed with him.
A great matter of importance in con-
sidering this question is the fact that
our schools are o~ver-crOwded in the
lower grades. Where one teacher has
to take charge of II hundred pupils at a
time, as is the case in this high school
every day, do you wonder that m
times he uses the whip?
The time is soon coming when the
necessary provisions will 1e made for
our schools, and when they will he So
arranged and graded that it will! lr All
easy matter for ii teacher to rule by
moral persuasion alone.
