The opposition organized Il flibnster
that effectively blocked the wheels

hours there Were lively verbal ex-
changes, and at one time it looked as
if Senators Teller and Frye were
about to engage in acrimonious per

by voluntarily saying that his charges
OF delay i'll bringing the subsidy bill
forward did not lie against the sen

Before the filibuster was inaugural

room and determined to pass the fol
lowing bills during this session, in the
order named: Shipping bill, war rev.
enue reduction bill, Spooner Philip
pine bill. oleomargarine bill and the
appropriation bills.
This meeting was forced by the ac-
ton of Senator Allison, who gave no
tiee that on Monday he would call up
the District of Columbia bill.
He was told that every bill could
be passed if the Republicans would
only use the force they could bring to

Local Taxation for Schools.

The N. 0. States closes an ex-
cellent article on the recent Con-
vention of Parish Superintend-
ents by few remarks concerning
local taxation for schools. We
fully agree with the States when
it says:
eff education is effective in ele-
waiting the standard of citizenship,
then the obligation rests upon the
people to provide an adequate
system which will comprehend all
the people and place it within the
power of all to reach higher
standard.
"However, it should be remem-
bered that money, powerful as it
may be, cannot accomplish this
if the sentiment be lacking on the
part of the people. Therefore
greater stress ought to be laid
upon local aid for education. The
State is doing fairly well, but
what the State does will amount
to nothing unless the people of
the several parishes to be bene-
tited feel the Importance of the
question sufficiently to make some
sacrifice on their own account to
secure this much desired end. It
is extremely doubtful if any boy
has ever received any benefit from
an education which had to be
forced upon him. The boys, as a
rule, who have been benefited by
being educated have been those
boys who had to worE hard and to
make sacrifices in, order to secure
it. As ID is with boys, so it is
with communities. ,ThS State
may pile up money indefinitely
upon a community that is lethar-
gic and u5Rthb1ss1e545la5liSsative with re-
gard to education and it would
amount to nothing. The COM
munity itself must feel the need
of education, and feel it suffi-
GENTLY strong to cause it to make
some sacrifice to obtain it, before
it can receive any benefits from
efforts that may come from the
outside.
"There must be Il great awak-
enlug to the Importance of public
education, q movement in the di-
rection of individual and COM
munity effort in every parish in
the State, before we can accom-
plish the things that ought to be
accomplished in this great work.
The great bulk of the work must
be done by the parishes, the wards
and the individual communities
before the system will be devel-
oped to its highest efficiency, and
this is the lesson which the SUI
perintendents, the school boards
and the press of the State ought
to impress upon the people of the
various parishes. The progress
in this direction has been hopeful,
parishes like Calcasieu, Caddo,
Ouachita, and several others hav-
ing made most creditable starts in
this direction. When it shall
have been taken up by all the
parishes and pushed forward with
enthusiasm, then we may look fol-
results of which the whole state
will be proud

AppOrtiOnment.

The State Superintendent of
Public Education, John V. CAL
houn, will on the 9Th of Novem-
Der make an apportionment of the
current school fund. This ap-
portionment is made for the third
and fourth quarters of 1901, and
it is expected will be Il larger one
than was made at this time last
year.-Truth Baton Rouge.
This will be good news to us in
St. Landry, where the school
treasury is almost empty and
where it would have been neces-
sary to borrow money to pay
teachars' salaries in about three
weeks had not this money due us
by the State been forthcoming
before that time. 1t has hap
pened several times in the past
year or two that the School Board
has paid interest on money bor-
rowed, while funds to its credit
were Ling idle in the States cof-
fers at Baton Rouge. Itseems to
us that these funds are not as
promptly distributed as they
should be. The law requires
these apportionments to be made
quarterly. Why should it not be
complied with, us it used to be up
to year or two ago? And will
the Truth kindly tell us why the
two quarters for. which this ap-
portionment is made arc called
the "third and fourth quarters of
1901" instead of the second and
third? And should not the heavy
collections of October, November
and December be turned over to
us by the middle, or, at least, be-
fore the end Of January? Are,
not the collections for these
months paid into the treasury by
the sheriffs few days after the
1st of January of each year? Help
us, Truth, to get at the bottom of
this matter, please.

ments for a mass meeting of the
people of Opelousas to be held

Several other matters of gen
eral interest were informally dis
cussed,. among them the adyisa-
bility of beginning to agitate the
question Of stock law for the
entire parish, OF at least for sew

of opinion was that it would be
very much cheaper to fence in
the cattle and leave the crops nn-
fenced; but beyond an under.
standing that the matter should
be stalked up' by the members
no action was taken.

The public schools throughout
the parish opened Monday--save
in few localities for which teach
ers have not yet been appointed.
There were three hundred and
forty pupils enrolled in the Ope-
lousas school. Owing to the
courts decision, in the recent suit
against the School Board, to the
effect that high schools must be
conducted with funds belonging
to the wards in which they are
located, a report had gained cur
rency in some sections that pupils
from other wards would not be
admitted to the Opelousas school,
and, because of this, quite a num-
Der of country children who de-
sired to attend our school re-
NAMED away. Of course this is a
mistake, as children from all sec
tions of the parish are welcome to
enjoy, alike with ours, the ad-
vantages offered by the st. Lam
dry High School.
