NORTH AANKATO
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Christ Weber, who has long been con-
sidered insane by other North Mankato
residents and who has already been in
the insane asylum, was taken to st. Pet
er last Saturday by Sheriff Mcmillan,
examined for insanity before Judge
Henry Moll and committed. Weber
talked very queerly during his exami-
nation. The main subject on which his
mind seemed to be wandering was the
question of union labor. Though good
carpenter he was found to have worked
only two months in the aggregate all
through last summer and fall. When
asked about this he always said he did
not want to work side by side with
union men. He gave the same excuse
for quitting work on the addition to
Frank Hides residence on Poplar street
He quit work on the new Lamm & Land
kamer building, he said, because he was
afraid the temporary structure would
fall down upon him and crush him.
Last spring Weber was in the asylum
ten days, grew better and was discharg-
ed. He is by no means considered hope
less.

NUMBER 81
LOUISIANA'S GREATEST NEED EDU
CATIONAL.Y.

In answer to the question, what
is Louisiana's greatest need educa-
tionaily, propounded by the Louis
janas School Review to a number
of leading teachers over the State,
the response was almost unanimous
that more efficient supervision was
the greatest need, which, was pro-
badly the answer expected, as not
alone by the people generally is it
coming to be forcibly recognized
that the efficiency of a school sys-
tenn depends upon the kind of sup
ervision. This recognition has
grown into a certainty in the few
parishes where trained superintend-
ents have been employed, notably
in this parish, where there has been
suoh betterment that it really
seems strange that the school
boards of every parish have not
followed the lead promptly. Prof.
V. l.. Roy, Of the Southwest Lou.
isiana Industrial Institute, expires
ses very clearly in his reply the
value of a trained superintendent
as follows:
A competent superintendent pre-
supposes competent school board
but, of the two, the superintendent
is the more important. No parish
is so poor that it cannot afford to
have, and to pay for, qualified
superintendent; nor is any parish
so wealthy that it can commit such
an extravaganza as to employ an
incompetent superintendent, be his
salary $25 per month.
The qualified superintendent is
almost q panacea for school ills;
he appoints better teachers, secures
better teaching, creates healthy
school sentiment, influences taxa
tion for schools, obtains larger
school appropriations from police
juries, and administers the school
affairs of the parish generally in a
proper manner.
As he states, acheap superintend-
ent is costly luxury, whereas a
high priced one is a cheap neces-
sity, aud the time will soon come
when twill be deemed just as ne
csssary to have trained superin-
tendent as it is to have schools.
The greatest salary permitted
under the law is $1,000 per year,
which by some is considered ex-
csssive, because they co not under
staud the real value of a good sup
erintendent. We shall see later,
that this amount will be increased,
and generous rivalry among the
parishes for the best superintend-
snt. This won't happen tomorrow,
1t is little farther of but it is
just the Same Lafayette
