INHUMAN TEACHER.
Put Red Pepper in a Little

THE CHILD MAY DIE.

Derby, Conn, May Is Because
little Johnny Trip, s years old, was
guilty of whispering in school his
teacher forced him to stuff half a
seaspoonful of red pepper into his
mouth, with the result that the little
fellow lies dangerously ILL.,
His temperature is 102 degrees.
The child's lips, tongue and the
whole coating of the mouth are bis.
tered and swollen until his face is
almost unacceptable
Miss Mary Connery is the teacher
who inflicted the punishment If
the child should die Miss Connery
may be prosecuted.
On Tuesday, only little after the
seacher had spoken to him, she saw
his lips move and his seatmate turn
as if listening

of it over his chin and his moist. /

In an instant he was shrieking in .
agony. He ran frantically about
the room, beside himself with pain.
He fell on the floor, kicking and
beating his his little hands about in
the madness of his suffering His
cries caused other teachers to ap.

Miss Connery was frightened out

her by the other teachers Alton

interviewed some of the citizens
of that town regarding the plan
which is being discussed for the
issuance of bonds to secure the

good one and as the bonds would
only mature in many years, they
could easily met without any in

be discussed from purely bust

cisl condition. where 1t is paving Is per
cent more than the market value for all

scarcity of money and the high rates Of
interest in the Parish Is also, to great
extent. the cause Of this state Of affairs.
Il must also be admitted that the Parish
is backward in it's educational facilities
to a great extent, on account Of the lit
tie financial assistance which the parish
is able to give to Its school.
Now, it is q fact. beyond discussion.
that the progress and prosperity OF any

entirely upon the educational advance
ment of its people; capital. industries

place that does not have good schools.

There Is only ono way to raise the mo-
ney to put the Parish on cash basis, 1t
is by the issuance Of bonds with the con.

of bonds. the Parish could liquidate its
debts and borrow sufficient money be-
