Enumeration OF Educable
Children.

Office of State Supt. of Public
Education, Baton Rouge, JAM, '9s.
To the Prest. and Members of Parish
School Boards:
Act No. 1919 of the General AS
sembly of 1898 orders all the
parishes IN the State to make an
enumeration of all educable cti!-
dren of the State before July 1,
1899, and every four years there
after. Complaints of lncorrectness
in the school census have been made
to the Education Committees of the
General Asse nblies and to the State
Board of Education, and there is q
general wish throughout the State
that the grounds for these COM
plants be carefully examined, and
whatever errors exist may be i'm
partially removed. An untrue
enumeration would falsify all our
educable statistics, and in various
cases would maze our distribution
of the State school fund dispro-
portionate and unjust. Moreover,
an inflated enumeration of the num-
Der of childran entitled to school
privileges, would reflect great dis.
credit upon the State, by diminish
ing the ratio of the number of
those who attended, thus forcing
the State to a low place on the list
of the literacy of the United States
Act 1879 therefore makes it the
sworn duty of the Assessors tt
make a correct enumeration, and
ordalns that only the children be-
tween the ages of six and elghteer
| shall be counted; that they shall
be listed by name, race. sex and
ward. These lists are TO be writer
in ink, to be furnished, one to thu
State Board of Educ alton, and ont
tn the Board of School Directors O
the parish in which the enumera
ton is made. The Assessors mus
swear to the correctness of thei
lists; and a certificate by the law
officer rendering the oath must b.
attached to the document before j
can be filed.
The attention of the officers an,
members of the parish school board
Is specially directed TO paragraph
third of the act; the parish schoo
boards are to pay the Assessors 4
for each child enumerated, but tn
payment is not to be made until tn
State Board of Education has me
and examined the lists, and ap
proved them, and the approval ha
been announced to the parish schoo
boards by the Secretary of th
State Board under its seal.
| Suitable books have been for
warded to the several Assessors b,
the Auditor as required by law.
| The State Board will meet to pas
upon the returns of Assessors a
soon as they are all forwarded.
| 1t is to be hoped that the whole
number of educab children of tn
State, and not less nor more, shal
be by this census satisfactory az
conscientiously obtained, and +
this end we ask cooperation wit
the Assessors, of the officials AM
members of the parish schoo
boards, as also of the parents AM
guardians of the school children
and all friends of public educatio
in the State. Respectfully,

reputation, in his profession, of being
able to get at the bottom of things as
quick as the next man, and it will not
be surprising if he reorganizes many
weak spots in his experiences with the
departmental business in the next two
weeks, and has some change to recon-
mend by the time the President returns
from his vacation. Gen. Miles can give
him a number of pointers, and he ie

success of the most gigantic job of vac
cnation ever attempteu-that of all the
inhabitants OF Porto Rico,-Dr. Azel
Ames,-is in Washington. He talks
very Interestingly of that island. He
said: "Porto Rico is getting in fair
shape, but there are several handicaps
on the country that need immediate
correction. The government is still
topheavy and needs simplifying. The
mistake has been made of trying to gal
vanlzed detunct Spanish system OF
laws and yoke it abreast with our pro-
gressive American policy. The natives
are by no means TIT for self government,
as vet, and while it is always advisable
to supersede military government an
quickly as prudent by civil authority.
the time isn't ripe yet to do away with
military rule on the island. Two things,
however, should be done at once. The
Spanish money, now in circulation
there, should be withdrawn, and re-
placed with American currency. even if
some loss resulted to our government.
The next most pressing need is the abol.
ishment of the tariff. The idea of keep
ing up important duties between this
country and any of its Pc sessions is an
absurGity. and it is working grievous
hardship on the people of Porto Rico.
A system of internal revenue fairly adj
justed and honestly collected. will give
to Porto Rico all the revenue it needs
for the expense Of administering the
government"

WASHINGTON LETTER.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WAsHINGToN, July. 3lsT 1899.
Nobody in Washington believes that
Admiral Dewey used the language at
tributed to him in an interview, cabled
to this country and widely published.
Even if be thought our next war would
be with Germany, he has too much
sense to publicly say SO.
A we'll known Washing'onian. who
has just returned from Il trip to Cuba,
thus sums up his opinion of it: "Not un-
til Cuba is Americanized will be worth
while to settlein, and it ism going to be
Americanized fast until some definite
policy is declared regarding our inten-
tiors as to annexation" The policy of
the administration is to carry out the
expression of Congress and give Cuba
an Independent government. The plans
for taking census of the island are
now being pushed and as soon as it is
cong leted, orders will be issued for
municipal elections all over the island.
That is as far as present plans go, but
it is expected, of course, that a general
election will soon follow the municipal
election.
Secretary Root arrived IN Washing
ton today, and will, tomorrow be sworn
in as Secretary of War; Everybody is
trying to find out how much, if any,
foundation there is for the story about
his intending to inaugurate general
shake up OF the much criticised bureau
cratic methods of the War Department.,
and to introduce II more modern system
Mr.. Root has The art of saying nothing
down to perfection, and he is practicing
it. Most of these stories doubtless have
their origin in the well known need for
