The teacher, against whom no COM
plant is entered, is equally censured
by the patrons of the district, in many
ways. For instance: Not command
ind the pupils to SIT for hours without
other old fOggy ideas practiced in the
school room twenty years ago. This
is an age of aggression, and teacher
who is aggressive for the pupils inter-
est is usually looked upon by the par
ent as an unsuccessful one and sub
jected to many criticisms, all because

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN
by o. NJ. Bennett, of Lewis.

If the teacher would secure the best
results he should follow a program of
exercises. No work is worth doing
without system.
Pupils should never be allowed when
school calls, to rush in and throw hats
and oloaks hIggidy-piggldy, but should
be required to take seats after which
the monitors should take charge of
the wraps.
1t is generally conceded by educa-
tors that teachers should waste no
time i'll trying to keep perfect quiet
ness as first, it tends to make study
monotonous and second, to make pup
lis restless and therby to dislike the
school.
The teacher should not be too res
trictive, but should be firm and reso-
lutte III every phase of management.
If he treat pupils kindly and let
them know that he is interested III
their acquisition of knowledge, they
will have too much respect for him to
take advantage of his kindness.

COURTESY IN THE SCHOOL ROOM.
We are all aware that the above

does not admire simplicity and refine
ment in the child at home, in the

cOmmendable in a boy or girl than
politeness? Let it behove every tea
cher to train his or her pupils to be
courteous at all times, and by so doing
gain the admiration and respect of
teacher and public.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF
THE LEVEEiS.

The following from the Times
Democrat shows the sentiment
about government control of the
levees. Referring to an interview
with Congressman S. T. Baird, he
is quoted as follows:
Congressman Baird remarked
that a very interesting topic of
conversation in Washington was
the river question. Congressman
and Senators from all portions OF
the country are greatly worked up
over the continued high stage OF
the river and over the manly fight
which the people of the river
States have been and are still
making against the floods. 1t is
realized that the burden of the
levee maintenance should be borne
by the general government. The
drainage of two-thirds of the
States is emptied into the Missis-
sippi river and it seems to be the
prevailing opinion that the few
States contributing little or moth
ing to the water in the big river
should not be compelled to tax
their populations In order to build
the levees to keep the water out,
and then be yearly compelled
to fight night and day against the
water sent down from other States
which neither build levees nor pay
ia levee tax.
Congressman Baird believes
that at the next general session of
Congress the matter will be taken
up, and that the result of the agi-
tation will be that the control OF
the levees and river hydraulics
will pass into the hands of the
United States.
SIN speaking of the exorbitant
tax paid by the people of this
State, Mr. Baird said that he knew
that the property holders in the

Last Friday there was break
in the levee at Baton Rouge at o
point where the Burton Lumber
Company has its buildings erected
on and against the levee. The
break was fifty feet wide and by
great exertions it was closed. 1t il
a matter of surprise that such o
thing should have been permitted
by the Police Jury of that parish
as to allow buildings to remain on
the levee. The Engineers all agree
that they are a constant menace
to the public safety. The sun can
not get to that part of the levee
shaded by the building and when
the water is high there is great
danger at such points. In St
Joseph two years ago the Engi'
|neers called attention to the many
stores and buildings OH the public
leyee that protects our front, and
the Police Jury promptly notified
the owners to remove them to o
point where they would cease. te
endanger the commonwealth, and
they were at once removed. II
seems to us that the Engineers al
Ealong the line should call upon
the Police Juries to have the levees
cleared of the buildings of every
kind. Private interests cannot be
respected when the safety of the
people is involved. "Salus popu-

description to go on the levees, or

and during the time that the water
is against the levee; provided that
in cases where the water is against

where the grounds on the river and

may put stock on these levees
temporarily.

cept sheep and goats, on which
the charge for impounding shall
be ten cents per head for keeping,
five cents per head for each and
every; for making sale, ten cents
