We are in receipt Of booklet by
Mr.. r. I. Crane, which is an epitome
Of arewers to questions propounded
by Mr.. Crane as to 1.-The Utility OF
an Academic or Classical Education
for young men who have to earn their
own living and who expect to pursue
a commercial life. - The answers
come from men in all walks of life.
OF 10 College Presidents, not one can
give an affirmative answer or show
that the graduates of their colleges
are as successful as those who have
not received academic or classical ed
ucation. Mr.. Crane has been to great
trouble and expense i'll his investlga-
lions. the result of which goes to
prove that our young men who use
up the flower of their youth in Uni
yersities are not fitted to cope with
life as they find it when Obliged to
face the world. consequently make
failures. They are overeducated and
averse to commencing at the lower
rung of the ladder and climbing slow
ly and laboriously up. The dignity
and prestige of college graduate
would suffer immensely thereby, and
would be a reflection on his Alma
Mater. hence they are passed by the
more rugged and practical young man
and left far behind in the race for
financial, commercial and industrial
eminence.

We are again requested to mention
the condition Of some Of our roads,
which are being invaded by waste
from the rice fumes, making
the roads impossible. The law is
very plain upon this subject. The
Police Jury have done all in their
power to prevent the flow of water to
these roads. notices have been sent, to
violators, but SO far no attention
has been paid and the Police Jury
has been ignored. The Grand Jury
will be called upon to take up the mat
ter, and we doubt not the law will
be strictly enforced and our roads again
made passable. 1t would be we'll for
those knowing themselves to be in
fault to at once attend to the matter,
as the patience of the people and au-
thoritiesis is exhausted, hence some ex-
treme measures may be expected. A
word to the wise is sufficient.
