on our front page from the pen OF
Prof. II ID. Wilcox, Of orr High
School. The article, while radical
in its views, tends Go show how far
behind we are in matters of edu.
cation. The needs of city and par.
ish are tersely told and advocated
aud while at variance with much
that is now IN vogue, shows our
ante ellum and obsolete condi-
ton. The article will 70 doubt
provoke discussion and possibly
criticism, but we are sure it will
be productive of much good, and
may 10 the means of improving
our system. TO the end that every
boy and girl entitled to it, shall
receive a liberal education-one
that will be practicable and i'm
mediately available, that can at
once put the possessor in the way
of making living, aud not be
simply a walking cyclopedia of
almost useless information.

1t will be agreeable news to
the stockholders of the Teche Val
ley Oil Co., of New Iberia to know
Mr.. A. b. Romero the indie
fatigable and pushing President
has arranged with the Teche
Valley aud Southern Oil Co., Of
Mobile, Alabama, to sink n well on
the lands Of the former, which are
numerous and scattered over the
parish. We feel sanguine of the
success Of this move, as oil indi-
cations in our midst exist on every
hand, and we doubt not that any
reasonable trial will demonstrate
the fact that we have right here
under us one of the best oil fields
yet discovered. We shall watch
this move with interest.
