PRACTICAL EDUCATOR

The last Legislature parsed MANY
good laws, but none we're of more
Importance thas tile law relative to
public schools. This is the great
need OF the State, and they wisely
provided that none but competent
men should administer tie affairs
OF the parish schools. 1t is neces-
sary to have men in line with the
advanced educational views OF the
thinksrs of the State TO produce
the best results, and 70 sthie end
Section 8, OF Act 1877, of 1904. was.
adopted, superseding Section 8, Of
Act 2l4, Of 1902. The new section
reads as follows:
1.-THE parish board shall elect ol
appoint for . term Of four years
parish superintendent, who shall be
ex.officis secretary Of the board. He
shall be person Of high moral
character and a practical educator.
In an interview with State Super
intendent Aswell this week he gave
the following as an answer to the
numerous inquiries coming to him
relative to the meaning Of the ex.
preston, "a practical educator
for parish superlnte, dent Of
schools:
II believe that the key to the
public school situation in Louisiana
to-day is expert school supervision
for every parish in the State. The
schools of the parish must be an
unit in order to result in
the greatest educational good to the
irdividual. the parish, and the
State. Ia turn. these parish units |
must be organized to produce the |
beet results, Internationally to the |
parish, the State and the nation. |
The latter work is the function Of
the parish school superlbte ndent,

the parish school hoard. To do

Ten thousand times no. He who says

could do the angels in Heaven, the

the sinner only infinite harm. Such a
doctrine destroys all rational ground

NO LACK OF vERESTCHAGihS.

The account of the death ofNeresA :
chagin the great Russian painter OF
war scenes, as given by a survivor OF
the Petropaulovsk. is the old story OF
Parhassius reversed. There is a seem
ing inpossibihty in the account of the
old painter oraced upon the reeaing
deck of the sinking war ship. grasp
ing with his pencil the s.ctualiSes of
a sea fight as the ship went down, for-
getful of imminent death in the abb
sorption of the artist lost to all but
his work and his opportunity. Verest-
chagin went down working.
There is nothing self-evidently inn
possible In the story. The same thing
occurs in one form or another every
day. The busy man in love with his
work, prefers to die in the harness.
There is not SO much difference be-
tween Verestchagin sketching as the
ship sinks under him and the physi
clan making his calls with a fore
knowledge OF certain death six months
away, or the business man going over
his affairs with death In his face.
Many a man works under his death
sentence. and women hide incurable
disease with smile, while they go on
working and planning for their own,
waiting for the inevitable.
1t Is best SO. Those men and women

is a model school board building COM
mtttees will do We'll to visit and inves-
tigate If they are about TO erect Z, new
school house in their own town.
/ The town of Marathon has also a
new school house costing $4,000. 1t IS
| a high school used and built for five
| former school districts in and around
town. Five omnibuses make daily
trips ard bring in about 100 pupils
from the adjoining country. The ex-
pense OF this system is borne by all. of
the taxpayers of the one district (for-
merly five.) Four buses cost each $40
per month, the other>$3l.50 per month
To offset this expense is the former
wages paid to five teachers, heating
and caring for five school houses Ana
of course the pupils out of town have
advantages in this big school house in
town, this in the way of better teach
efs, more building equipments and
school apparatus, than possible in the
former building at the corner of four
roads, frequently a miles walk for half
of the children attending. Mothers
appreciate this bus business of tax
ing their children to school for they
know in case of storm or terrible cold
weather they are In safety and comfort
as these buses are canvas covered and
filed with straw, and generally twenty
or more lively, healthy youngsters.
The young men in the country who
wish to attend this school in town. in
some cases own and drive the teams,
thus earning fair wages while acquir-
ing an education. One other good
feature Of this central school house
system is that the children can bring
out the daily mail and any little thing
required from the stores. Other towns
adopted this plan several years ago.
but in few cases was the old school
house torn down, and a new $4,000
school house built as at Marathon.
The writer heard a dentist in hotel
office the other evening say few
things. Perhaps they are worth no.
ticing and remembering. 1t came up
as a subject of conversation, on dis
eases or swelling of the gums, after
having tooth pulled. This dentist
says that in nearly all such cases, the
cause WAS the use of forceps not prop
erly cleaned since former use. That
many doctors that are absolutely clean
and careful in the use of the other sur
gical instruments, are careless in the
use of Sorceps. Said IL he was going
to have a tooth pulled he would ask
to see the instrument OF torture. This |
dentist also said that the pressure on |
the teeth in chewing ordinary hotel |
beefsteak, was equal to the weight of |
125 pounds. Now If he knows as much |
about unclean forceps as about hote; |
beefsteak, he's all right.

Organizing a Church Trust.
[Rev. Newell Dwight Hills in Ever,

[Rev. Newell Dwight Hills in Every

Now, last of all, the organization
movement has struck the churches
The epoch of church unity has fully
come. 1t could no longer be delayed.
The men who have simplified business,
reorganized the banks under one man
agement, reorganized the factory and
the store and the shops, are the men
who are now in the pews.
Now that this movement for church
unity and cooperation has begun it
seems all but Incredible that our INTEL
ligent American society should have
endured the old divisive conditions so
long. In the beginning, we are told,
the Christian church was "all with one
accord in one place but if Peter and
Paul We're to come to New York, or to
New Orleans. or to San Francisco, or
to Boston. they would find the mem
bers of this one church in 1863 different
places. The results of this division and
denominational rivalry are a decline in
the interest in the church and of the
attendance upon it; a support waning
to the point of extinction. But the
Few ministers in small towns have a
salary of more than a thousand dollars.
Out of thousand dollars today what
man can buy the books he needs for
his mental equipment? College and
university men are in his pews. and
this makes it necessary for the preach
err to be the equal of the college man
in learning and his superior in those
things that especially pertain to the
clergymans own profession. The
minister should have salary that will
enable him to have the advantages OF
the business man. who travels in the
summer. who has his books and mag
azines and opportunities for personal
culture: but on thousand dollars the
minister starves intellectually
What an ideal is this. One noble

When all the teaching forces are united
the Sunday school will again become
popular Instead of ten preachers there
ought to be three. In this church Of the
future there will be a great sermon in
the morning that represents the
thought and study and prayer of six
days and nights. There will be great

Japanese Religion.
[Rev. w. A. Bartlett. ]

ISeN. w. "A. Dbl lictt.l
The Japanese are sending a dele
cation to this country to examine ou1
religion to see If it is worth trans
planting. They have decided against
the religions of Europe. Like the
group of Greeks they are saying:
Sir, We would see Jesus" But they
are not visiting the churches to make
their tests. They are going to the
factories and business places to see
how much of our religion is TO be found
where men toll. They are perfectly
right. A religion that gets no further
than the church doors is nothing more
than sentimental froth. The fact is,
We need a revival among church MEM
bers whose names are on the church
roll. Let US have revival among
church members who love clubs more
than church; who make Sunday a
holiday and not a holy day; who never
come to the meeting Of prayer; who
have plenty of money for themselves
but little for the Lord. Then will sim
ners come to a church that is sincere
and Christlike, not before.
