A Philadelphia man suggests that
trees planted in public squares and on

variety. He believes that sense of
honor would be cultivated in boys, even
in the worst neighborhood, if it were
explained that the nuts belonged to
them, that they would only damage

GETTING READY
For the Opening at the Indus
trial misunderstanding Pre-
parting for the Work.

Work goes on unabated at the Industrial
Institute in preparation for the opening
September IS.
Mr.. Roy, who is to have charge of the
work in science, has arrived with his family,
and is now settled comfortably in one of the
Bienvenu Roy cottages in Clinton street.
MIR. Ashby Woodson, of Albemarle, Nirgi-
MIA, director of manual training. is also
here, and is pleasantly situated at the home
of Mr.. B. J. Pellerin. Both of these gen
tlemen have started very industriously upon
planning the work of their departments, and
express themselves as very we'll pleased
with the orig nal equipments assigned to
them. The rest of the faculty are expected
within the next two weeks.
President Stephens reports that the dormi-
tory is being pushed vigorously to compile
tion-and that it has every prospect OF be-
ing entirely complete tor the opening day
In any event, it will be ready for occupa-
tion even if another week were necessary
to make all the finishing touches.
The splendid equipment for the dormitory,
sewing room and kitchen has been shipped
| from St. louisiana consists of the most
modern appointments and conveniences.
The furniture for the dorn,itory will also
soon be in from Tell City, Indiana.
Work has been started on the
machine shop-at the south end of the main
| building. This is to be small structure,
covered with galvanized iron, and can be
finished very quickly. The boiler will be
placed in the rear of this building and will
furnish steam both for the power to run the
engine and machinery of the shop and also
to heat the main building.
The pipe for connecting the school with
the city waterworks is now on the ground
ready to be laid, additional walks, and
drives are being planned, work will soon
| begin on a fence around the entire school
property, and industry of all sorts is very
| much in evidence at the school.
Inquiries for circulars of information are
coming in from all sections, and every midi
cation is for goodly attendance on the first
day of school.
| The first school work to be conducted III
the Industrial Institute was in the interest OF
public education for The Parish-and con
sisted of the teachers examination held
there last Saturday by Superintendent
Alleman, assisted by D,. Moss and Mr.
Stephens.

MAKE NO BIZ CKWARD STEP.

building. The present buildings
are not only too small. but they are
unsuited from every point Of view.
The growth of this town requires
increased facilities to accommodate
the large number of children of
educable age. A modern building,
erected on suitable grounds, is a
necessity, which all VIII" believe in
public education will recognize.
The fact must not be overlooked
that the rnly way to secure good
schools is through taxation. That
is the way the great West has built
up it's splendid system Of public
schools
No people can hope to enjoy the
good public schools. Public edu-
cation is the basis of all real pro-
gress And the person who is not
willing to be taxed for the public
schools, is not only devoid Of civic
pride, but he is lacking in the most
important elements OF citizenship.
he is at best a very poor citizen.
The poor man, or the man OF
moderate means, is more interested
in having good public schools than
the man of wealth. The former
must depend upon the local schools
for the education Of his children,
while the latter can send his children
away from home to be educated in
the colleges which are to be found
in all the States of the Union. We
can never understand the wisdom of
the citizen who complains about
paving a small tax which is to be
used in the education Of his children.
By paving an annual tax of five
or six dollars he is enabled to send
his children to good school, sup
ported by all the people, whereas il
it were not for the public schools
he would be compelled to pay
several hundred dollars or his
children would be deprived of an
opportunity to learn how to read
and write
To have an efficient system Of
public schools is not only the bes
policy to be pursued by a com
munity; but 1t is its duty to place
within the reach Of every child {
common school education at least
| The Gazette hopes that no res
ident of Lafayette will put himsel
on record as opposing the move
ment just inaugurated for the con
struction of a school building COM
mensurate with the growth Of thi
community.
Lafayette has made a good start
on the highway of educational pro
gress. TO go backward now woul'
be suicidal. 1t would be worse thai
folly \ retrogressive step would b
hard to retrace. And it would be
declaration to the world that on
avowed intention to make this tow
an educational center was bat a
idle boast.

An Old Landmark


The old brick store in Main street,
which was used for a long number
of years by the late Mr. ]. Revillon,
is being demolished to make way
The Revillon store is possibly the
oldest building in Lafayette. 1t
was built by Mr.. Chalk GO
years ago. For half century it
Mr.. Revillon who was the principal
merchant in this section. One by
one the old landmarks are disap-
pearng, but there is some consola-
ton in the fact they are being re-
placed by better structures.

WATER AND LIGHT.
The Local Plant Being Put in
Better Condition Number
Of improvements.

Mr. Melchert, the superintendent
of the waterworks and electric light
plant, has been quite busy lately
making some much needed i'm
provements at the POwer-house. Mr.
MeIchert has also been engaged IN
putting a neutral wire to meet the
increased capacity furnished by two
new dynamos. With these i'm
provements the capacity of the plant
IS about 400 incandescent lights of
16 candle power each. The City
Council is on the eve of buying
new boiler, it being impossible to
run the plant with less than two
boilers. 1t Is the policy of the au-
thorities 60 make all needed i'm
provements in the hope of amello-
rating the service and rendering the
plant self sustaining. 1t is expected
that the use Of oil as fuel will result
in a clear saving OF at least 40 per
cent. Preparations have already
been made t. use oil. The change
will be made within the next few
days. There is every reason to be-
lieve that with the increased caPa-
city and the reduction in the cost
of fuel the revenues will be con-
siderably more than the running ex-
penses. During last July the collec-
tons for water and light amounted
to over $500 and exceeded the cur
rent expenditures of that month,
excepting, OF course, the money ex
pended for improvements.
Few persons are aware of the diff
fculties that have confronted the
municipal administration in the
i management of the plant. OF course,
several mistakes were made, but
many of these were due to inexpe-
rience and could not very well be
avoided. The only fellows who do
acres who refuse to do anything,
but prefer to keep their light hidden
under the proverbial bushel, from
which luminous sparks of wisdom
are periodically permitted to escape
A number Of men are engaged in
laying the pipes to the Industrial
Institute and the work is being
pushed as it is desired to supply
that institution with water not late
than Sept. 18.
Considering the several straits
through which the plant has had tc
pass, its present condition shoult
be source Of satisfaction to thu
people of the town. First hamperet
by the ruinous Zell boilers, then by
a dry we'll and subsequently by
number Of mishaps, the City Coun
Gil has had quite hard time of it
With the improved conditions, it i
believed that it will be possible t.
make the plant no, only self-sup
porting, but a source of revenue t.
the town, while, at the same time
giving the people the benefit of ligh
and water for private use at YER
reasonable terms.
