School Matters.

| Under this heading, in our las
issue, IN commenting ON the re
port recently made to the Scheo
Board, the fact was established
that fer several years past SOM
$1,000 per -annum had been pait
for the handling of our parish an'
school funds, in addition to tn
sums paid to the fiscal agent fo
salary or interest. These latter
sums vary each year, but from
the best information obtainable
we estimate that they have
amounted to about $4,000 IA yea1
for the past six years. With
these facts in their possession.
the Police Jury, the School Board
and other leading men, in and out
of Office, ought to know or soon
find out what should be done in
the premises.
1t has been said that the local
press is reticent in pointing out
local abuses. Here, at least, is
enc that should be dealt with at
once.
In view of the Importance of
the matters treated of in this re-
port, we publish it again to-day.
Another fact brought out in
this report is that the Board ber-
rowed meney in 1898 as we'll as in
1899. to carry on the schools, and
that about $1,000 was paid during
those two years for interest. The
fact that money was borrowed ae-
counts for the teachers having
been paid promptly during these
tive years, and the fact that meme
was borrowed in 1900 accounts for
the tardiness and irregularity OF
their payment this year. The
term began Oct. 80 and the first
month's salaries were paid short
ly before Christmas, the Decenl-
Der salaries were paid in March,
January in May, and February in
June; while the March, April and
May salaries are still unpaid. The
majority of the Beard was evil
IDENTIFY in ignorance as to the true
situation, for net only did it have
before it no statement as to it's
financial condition (see repert1,
but none of these 27 rmere bills
for interest were ever submitted
to it for approval.
But these were not the only
bills paid without the knowledge
Of the Board. A number of bills,
amounting to about $130, so the
report says, were paid for adver-
tislng. None of them were ever
submitted to the Board. The
Clarion had some years age, when
we made an attempt to get small
share of the public printing, of
which it has enjoyed a monopoly
fer so long, offered to do this
advertising gratis and we, as
we'll as the majority of the
Board, were under the inn
preston (sinee no bills were
ever sent in) that it ,oos
doing it gratis. But the bills
were being made out right along,
the warrants to cover the same
were being duly drawn. and the
Treasurer, as was his duty,
promptly paid them and turned
them over to the committee which
examined his book and vouchers.
No comment seems necessary.
We again invite a careful pc
rusal Of this report. It's expose
of the situation is avery mild and
temperate one, but chat situa-.
tion, even though imperfectly des-
cribed, should attract the earnest
attention of every good citizen.
