Fig res On Education.

Every ten years the census re-
ports the number Of persons able
to read and write in any language.
These figures throw light upon he
extent TO which the rudiments Of
education are being acquired. and
also upon the working of school
systems. A large amount of IL
literacy among adults indicates
that they were reared under an
imperfect school system, but
neither illiteracy among immi
grants nor illiteracy among elder-
ly natives of the country is any
index of the present condition of
American schools. Probably the
most light upon the present work
ing of school system is thrown
by the PERCENTAGE of children be
tween 10 and IA years old who
are able to read and write. A
table has been prepared in the
Census office showing the number
and percentage of persons from 1C
to IA years old who were reported
as able TO read and write i'll 1906
and 1890:
In 1890 Louisiana was at the
bottom of the table of states with
57.26 per ct. and in 1900 thi!

FIRES

On last Monday, at about noon
the fire alarm startled the people
and called the firemen out for ser
vice. 1t was soon reported "all
over" that it was only kitchen
flue at the residence of Mr.. Veazey
on Iberia street, and that 1t was
put out by an impromptu bucket
brigade. The damage was slight.
On Tuesday evening at about
9 O'Clock the alarm was again
sounded. A few minutes later
the growing flame lent a ruddy
hue to the overcast sky. This
fire proved to have its origin in
the little one story frame building,
owned by Mr.. NJ. Blanc, occupied
by Mr.. Sol. Adler, situated next
to the Cage buildings on Main
street.
The fire had made considerable
headway before being discovered
and was threatening the destruc
ton Of the building in which it had
its origin and the next adjoining
buildings below, when the hose
companies turned on the water
and it was all out.
The fire was inside the building
Chief Haley Carter mounted low
shed in the rear of the building
and pulled off a piece of the iroi
covering Of the gable in order tt
get water on the flames. AS th'
