The Baton Rouge Advocate is
urging Prof. II. I'll. Harris for the
principalship of the city public
school OF that city. Prof. Harris
has servered his connection with
the Louisiana State University, on
account of inadequate compensa-
tion, and, it seems is now sopen for
engagement The Advocate thinks
his services could be obtained for
$500 per year. The Clarion as
sures the people of Baton Rouge
that the selection of this man for
the head OF their school would be
an admirable step. Prof. Harris
was principal OF the st. Landry
High School, and as in the case of
the State University, resigned of
his own volition. The patrons of
the school, and the school officers,
will testify to his efficiency and
high standard as a teacher.
