obstruct:ng their labors. The school
term has per force been reduced to
eight months, and the school houses are
not adequate to accommodate all the
children DESTROYS of attending school.
1t is matter of public notoriety that
many children are sent to private
schools by parents who can i'll afford
to do So through want of proper
school facilities in this community.
Contemplating this situation, one
must indeed realize that we are
menaced' with spirit of retrogression,
and that our municipal life is stripped
OF its main attraction.

LOCAL TAXATION FOR SCHOOLS.

vancing the public school facilities of

all intelligent and public spirited cit
liens to cooperate. In some respects
New Iberia is abreast with the lead.
ing towns Of the State; but in matters
educational we are being relegated to
rather an obscure corner. Shreveport.
Monroe. Alexandria, Lake Charles and
Lafayette are vieing with each other,
in generous spirit of emulation, to
furnish, the best possible public
schools, and their efforts have achieved
results that would probabaly appeal
to some Of our people rs incredible.
Nine month sessions are secured, ade-
quate corps of teachers are had and
sufficient buildings are furnished.
All of this is not accomplished with |
the funds that 60 to school boards
through the ordinary channels. The
,itizens Of these various communities
have devised means. by taxation or
otherwise, to bring about this happy
condition. In Shreveport, for ex-
Imple. voluntary contribution, on
wo occasions was resorted to and in

THE BOND ISSUE.

The opposition that has recently
sprung up all over the State with re-
spect to the action of Governor
Blanchard has had tendency to cause
closer scrutiny of the proposed
amendments, especially the one pro-
posing an issue of One Million Dol
lars in bonds for the purpose of build
ing school houses throughout the
State At first blush the scheme
seemed admirable and was generally
accepted and advocated by the press.
especially that of the country parish
es. In the light of recent develop
ments it is now thought that the OBJ
ject can he obtained in a manner that
is less Objectionable and without the
slightest danger that the fund may be
used improperly There is no need
OF haste in this matter there is more
need to pay the teachers in school
houses now standing than TO erect new
buildings without means to pay more
teachers. Under the trend of affairs
politically it would be wise to Let this
Million Dollar bond scheme die abOrn.
ing, as it might, if adopted, be a
vehicle in which many political fav-
orites would ride luxuriously at the
expense of the people without any |
results We therefore
it best for our people to vote
against the amendment providing for
this Million Dollar tie mptation and in
5he meantime advocate a more ration
Il method for raising money not only
or school houses. but for the teachers
II them. This can be readily effected
~ the Legislature which can and will
provide ample funds for the maintens
nee of schools supplemented by the
ocal taxation for the purpose. We
hus withdraw our support of the {
after a more careful sur {
ey of the question and an examina- [
ion Of its political tendencies, which
re not for the good of the taxpayers.

| owing 70 mistaken policy in
selecting the medium through which
| the Amendments are placed before the
people in this Parish, a great number
are deprived of the privilege of seeing
the much spoken of Amendments to
the Constitution to be voted OH in
November next, at the general cleo
ton, consequently, much ignorance
exists among the masses as to the ma
ture of these Amendments to the or
ganic law. We therefor take pleasure
in publishing the following extracts
from our able contemporary the
Mansfield Journal" which we heart
lily approve with but one exception
that of the proposed increase of the
salary Of the State Superintendent of

officer should be well paid in order o

that official usually receives double
and triple the salary asked for the

think "a, 600 is not too much:
''There are fifteen amendments to
be voted on by the people of Louisi-

if adopted, will affect the State Con.

/. Allowing increased benefits and

There is no objection to this amend

4. Adding District Judge for the
