| Knowing how tolerant the
editor of The Gazette is, ven
ture to send this for publication.
1t is claimed, and generally
recognized, that education
| brOadens the mind and makes us
tolerant and sympathetic. This
] rule however, evidently, and at
times very unfortunately, has
exceptions: for intolerance is
the characteristic feature Of the
belabored communication of the
erStwhlle esteemed parish
superintendent of our public
schools in your issue of MAY 30.
Without intending to criticise
the method of levying a special
tax for the parish as proposed,
instead of doing so for each
ward separately as allowed by
the Constitution and laws of the
State, it will certainly be
admitted that those who advo-
cate the latter should be allowed
to do so without being charged
as being unfriendly to education
or as being "deathly afraid of
anything that smacks of a re-
form movement.
1t is refreshing to learn from
such luminary that the con-
stitut ional and other provisions
OF law securing the secrecy ofthe
ballot does not obtain in this
proposed election by the people;
but however that may be worked
or allowed to be worked.
the esteemed champion of in
tolerance will learn that the
people of this parish have the
manhood to record their con-
victions, and that sedate and |
wei! balanced minds, although
willing to record their convic-
tons if needs be, would look .
upon this reform movement
Of disregarding the laws of the
