The educational conference which
met in Natchitoches last week devel-
oped a large amount Of enthusiasm
among the educators OF this State.
Many important subjects were con-
sidered. and much valuable informa-
tion was obtained by those who
attended. A strong movement was
inaugurated to conduct a campaign
for educational advancement, and
the school interests OF the State were
found to he In excellent condition.
The oft repeated slander as to illit-
eracy In Louisiana was given the lie
by the facts shown, and prominent
educator from the North expressed
surprise at the educational progress
among the white people within our
borders. The truth of the business
is that the white people Of Louisiana
compare favorably with the most
enlightened States of the Union, and
vigorous measures should be taken
to prevent our white citizenship
from resting under the imputation OF
illIteracy by computing the negroes,
amounting to one-half the popula-
ton. and charging their illiteracy to
the whites. As a matter OF fact very
few of the States are richer In col
leges. universities and high grade
educational facilities than In Louis
lana, and our white citizenship will
compare favorably with that Of any
Of the States.
