A Bad Bill.

we SEQ from the papers Cn6C
Senator Caspari of this parish
has introduced in the Senate q bill
which provides that all Parish
Superintendent of the public
in this State shall be coll
lege graduates. We have not seen
q text of the bill and do not know
what it's other provisions are, but
we would suggest that for the sake
of consistency, it ought to go
further and require that these
Parish superintendent shall part
their hair as well as their names
in the middle; wear tooth pick
shoes, smoke cigarettes, be pro-
hcient in the arts of foot ball, and
golf, and generally be able to play
the dude on all occasions.
But seriously, the bill is q VIC
ious one in principle. It would
result in the establishment of an
office holding aristocracy, with
out reference to the fitness of the
members for the particular duties
which they would be called upon to
perform, for it is clear that the
mere fact of holding q diploma
from some college, or so-called
college, would not, in itself make
aman a good Parish Superintend-
ent. The Enterprise has no pref
udice against college graduates
per Sc. Once in while you will
find one of them who makes a sue
cessful business or professional
man; but in this part of the coun-
try the rule seems to be that after
q young man goes to college long
enough to graduate he comes
home and spends the rest Of his
life trying to discover short cuts
to wealth and ease without work.
ing for them. This may be q
startling statement, but it is true
nevertheless. Another serious
objection to the proposed law is
that in many parishes in the State
there would be no one who pos
sessed the qualif1cationed mem
toned, who would accept the POI
sition, and the authorities would
be compelled to import their Par
ish Superintendent from other
States.
The Enterprise is in full sympa-
thy with any rational plan which
will raise the standard in this
branch of the public service, and
3 law which would require this
class Of officers 10 stand an ex-
animation, and secure, from the
proper authorities, . first grade
teachers certificate, would doubt
less command the earnest oonsid-
Grafton Of the Legislature; but the
bill under discussion is foolish,
and does not merit serious atten-
ton.
