SCHOOL BOARD
Hold a Regular Meeting
and Attend to Much
Important Business.

Board of school directors, the
following members were present:
A. Olivier, presidents; Mr.. JAS
per Spell, DR.. r. o. Young, DR..
N: p. Moss, Mr.. Pierre r.
Landry, Mr.. Montgomery. Alb
sent: Mr.. Harrison Theall, Mr.
A. G. Guilbeau.
On motion of DR.. Moss, duly
seconded by Mr.. DelhOmme, the
regular order of business was
suspended for the purpose of
hearing Mr.. r.. 3. Martins
claim against the parish Board
for $7.S5, which he expended on
the Matthew school. The Board
refunded the amount.
On behalf of the committee
appointed to petition the Town
Council of Lafayette for an APP
preparation for the public schools
of the parish, DR.. Moss reported
that the Council had deferred
action, pending the decision of
the Police Jury on the PROPOSE
ton of the Town Council relative
to the remission of the three
mill criminal tax on town prop
erty on condition that the town
pay it's own criminal expenses
and maintain it's own schools.
The School Board could rely,
however on the Councils doing
all in its power for the public
schools at it's next meeting.
Mr.. Romero of the fourth
ward appeared before the Board
and submitted the following
proposition:
That he would donate to the
School Board of the parish one
acre of land, situated on the
public road, and that when plans
were furnished by the committee
on building of school houses, he
would raise funds necessary for
the erection Of a building on the
lot. In the meantime he would
furnish suitable building of his
own for use as Il school house
until the proposed new school
should be built.
On motion of Dr. Young. sec
onded by Mr.. Landry, the above
proposition of Mr. Romero was
accepted.
On motion duly seconded the
Board decided to merge the Co.
meaux and YOungsville schools
into one thereby giving both
comm unities one strong central
schools with two teachers. DR..
Roy O. Young and L. J. Alleman
were authorized to carry this
resolution into effect.
On motion of Mr.. Spell, sec
onded by Mr.. Delhomme, the
survey of the 10th section It II S,
r. 5 E, was awarded to Mr..
Francez, being a citizen of the
parish and having bid as low as
the lowest of three bids received
by the Board.
On the second of Mr.. Del
homme the motion was carried.
Geo. Malagarie, ESD, a duly
qualified notary, appeared, ano
on behalf of the Farmers Ali
ance of Broussardville asked
that the president be authorized
to receive from the said Alliance
the donation of the Farmers
Alliance Hall, two lots of land
as per act of donation, together
with $3.50 in cash, all of which
property is to be used according
to the conditions of the said act
Mr.. Pierre r. Landry moved
that the president, Mr.. A
Olivier, be authorized to receive
the property in the name of the
Board and that a vote of thank:
be rendered the members of the
Farmers Alliance for their gen
erous and public spirited act il
making such a handsome gift t.
the cause of education. Th.
molten was seconded by Mr.
Montgomery and was unani
mOusly adopted.

THE GROWTH OF ITALY.

Italy presents q marked contrast to France in
point of increase of population. We commented
the other day upon the face that in the latter
country the population Is about stationary the
death and birth rates being nearly equal. The
returns OF the recent census in Italy are now
published, and they show a gratifying though
not extraordinary growth of population IN the
peninsula, despite the large emigration and the
hard times which have prevailed there in late
years. In round numbers the population of
Italy Is now 80, 100000. That is an increase of
more than 100000 in the last twenty years.
That is not large increase, but it Is on the
whole. satisfactory. 1t Is not, OF course the
whole increase of the Italian race. In these
twenty years more than 100000 Italians have
emigrated to other lands The actual growth
of the race has therefore been more than q OCO
600 in twenty years. or more than 1 per cent n
year.
THIS does not, however, confirm the common
idea that the Italians are an exceptionally pro-
life race The growth of other nations has been
propOrtonately more rapid That of France has
not been. That of Russia has been effected bv
conquest and wholesale annexation That of
the United States has been due to enormous
immigration as we'll as to high birth rate
But while Italy in the nineteenth century in
creased from 100000 to 80, 500 600 or only n
little more than doubled Great Britain grew
from 100000 to Al. 100000, and Germany from
24,000,000 to 56.000,0O0, and each of those conn
tries suffered as great a loss from wars as ItaIy
and n considerably greater loss through emi
grafton.
It is not 10 be expected that ItaIys popula
ton will hereafter increase its rate of growth.
Nations seldom do that and In Italy's case the
present density Of population is strong nfiu-

THE GENERAL STAFF.

The creation of a general staff, which IS one
OF the features of Secretary Roots plan for IN
creasing the efficiency OF the army will result in
better control of the various departments At
present the heads of the different army bu-
reaus all independent functionaries These
officers have access TO the Secretary of War
and they work for their respective depart
ments, often without knowing the plans OF the
other heads, and are frequently unlnformed as
to the military policy or situation. The general
staff would consist of a body Of experienced
officers, who had served in several of the vari-
GUS departments 10 supervise the working uf
all. Such a body would be selected from the
army and would be in touch with it's views
and needs. 1t is safe 10 infer that these Off
GERS would not be hampered by the prelu-
diceS which have heretofore prevented the best
results, and would be loyal not 10 one de-
partment. but to the army as a whole
There was little difficulty I'm 1SgS I'm raising
an army Of a quarter of million men. hut
its equipment. mobilization and transportation
were problems which the unframed staff ohi-
GERS were unable 10 solve BY the organlAl-
tion Of a general staff such a situation would
be avoided. Lists of competent persons for the
various staff corps would be kept on hand. SO
that In time of need they could be detalle
for the duty for which they were best fitted
The four thousand officers of the regular cs-
tablishment Will be classified In the archives
of the general staff according to their service
and ability. At any time therefore a suitable
man can be selected for n particular kind of
work The officers will be ambitious to excel
in their branch knowing that superiority over
their associates will make them eligible to the
general staff, the brains of the army" An
other desirable feature is the one by which
the commanding general becomes the chief of
staff
Secretary Roots plan, while It authorizes the
detail of a number OF officers to the general
staff does not create additional officers nor
does it make any addition TO the departments
within the War Department The members of
the general staff will he selected from the
army, and at the end of four years they Will
return to their original places The plan is
well adapted to our military system and should
command the support of those who desire 20
see the country get the best return for the
money expended on its small military establish
