THE SUPERINTENDENT THE
ESSENTIAL.

Gov. Blanchard's inaugural
demonstrates his earnest and
sincere interest in the cause OF
education. A careful considera-
ton of it reveals a knowledge of
the subject only to be acquired
by the most thoughtful study.
He has graSped the essentials in
a manner to win admiration
from every teacher in the State,
and particularly has he dis
covered that the essential of all
essentials for a progressive,
active, sustained development of
the schools lies in the parish
superintendent, upon whom alb
sOlutely depends the educational
situation in the various sections
of the State.
Gov. Blanchard has hit the
nail squarely on the head. What
we need is trained parish super
intendents: and the Legislature,
if it desires to aid in this educa-
tiOnal movement. il it is sincere
in its wish to serve the people, if
it really wishes to do it's full
duty towards erasing the stain
OF illiteracy that Is a reprOach to
our fair State, they will give this
question Ofparish superintendent
cy the largest consideration: for
it is the very foundation upon
which educational progress and
sentiment must be built. They
must lay down qualifications Tor
superintendent, rigid and un-
changing. demanding absolutely
that only a teacher of experience
and executive ability shall hold
the office, and provide a salary
sufficient to command the best.
That such a course is one of
wisdom, the parish of Lafayette
offers an object lesson. To-day
tins parish. which only a few
years ago. was very backward
educatlOnally, now stands in the
front rank, its rapid progress
dating from the time when the
School Board wisely employed a
trained superintendent and paid
him a salary which justified him
to devote his whole time to the
work.

Exposure

DEnAND SELF.HELP FIRST.

Gov. Blanchard recommended
ton that the State issue bonds
to the amount of 81 200, 900 to
build school houses has met
with warm appreciation. The
need of better school houses,
especially in the rural districts,
IS SO apparent that a suggestion
OF a way to provide good school
buildings could hardly fail to
appeal strongly to the people.
But every way may not be the
best way. Gov. Blanchard has
not as yet given details as to how
ne proposes to disburse this
money, and, of course, the full
merit OF the proposal can not be
appreciated.
AS general proposition, we
heartily endorse the idea. But
we would consider it a most
unwise act to appropriate the
money outright to any com.
munity without any limitations
whatever. To make the gift of
money effective, some effort on
the part of the receiver must be
required. In other words, any
community desiring to benefit
from this fund should do some
thing to merit it. Things that
are gotten too easy are not
properly appreciated-common
experience teaches that. Be-
of what value is a gift,
whose desirability has not been
realized? If a man feels that he
needs something, he will make
the effort to get it, and when
gotten he win value it. But give
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1904-05-25

to him before he recognizes tho
want of it, and the gift is wasted
There are thousands of people
all over the State who are eager,
anxious, even striving for
schools. and there are thousands
who are indifferent. 1t is this
last class that needs help the
most. but help that will help.
To reach these people. their in
tereSt and cooperation must be
awakened. Putting a school
house at their doors and saying.
Behold. how beautiful. 1t is
yours. take it and be happy"
will not generate Il very high
degree Of educational pressure.
However. let these same people
exert themselves to secure the
beautiful school house, and
there vii! be a wide margin of
difference. The school house
will have become d part of their
thoughts and aspirations and
thus enter their lives as a factor
for development.

1t is not at all surprising that
Governor Blanchard'S strong
and unequivOcal utterances in
his inaugural address relative to
the race question should have
awakened favorable comment
among the negroes of Baton
Rouge and the State generally.
They recognize that while the
governor has plainly marked the
lines of separation. he proposes
to accord them the full prOtec-
ton of the law in all their legal
rights. The negro who recOg-

Candidate Didn't Vote for Himself.

John Haubrich, of Pipestone
county, who ran for nomination for
county commissioner on the Popu-
List ticket at the recent primary
election, ism t nominated because he
failed to vote for himself He ran
on the strongest ticket in his dis
trict, was the only one who filed for
the Office, but he did not receive a
vote.
There was no contest within the
ranks of the party to induce the
voters to go to the polls. Such was
the apathy in Mr.. Haubrich''s dis
trict that he himself did not take
the trouble to cast vote in his own
favor. All of Mr. Haubrich g friends
also demonstrated that they were
stay -at-hon.es. and as consequence
he did not receive q vote.
The attorney general was asked
whether Haubrich was not nOmina-
ted anyway, as he had no opposition.
Assistant P. A. Ewert, who lives in
Pipestone county, held yesterday
that Mr.. Hau brich is out his SO
nomination tee, and that in order
to get his name on the ballot this
fall he we'll have to secure a nomin-
alton by petition. The case is the
first that has occurred IN Minnesota
and probably in the country.
