A Financial Success.

The High School Athletic Association
fair which has just closed in this city
will be a financial success as we'll as
otherwise. and although it can not be
stated exactly what the net proceeds
will be. as the bills are not yet all ill.,
it is thought the gain will be i'm the
vicinity of S15. Those of the asSOcia-
ton who had the fair i'm charge are de-
serving of good deal of credit for the
way in which the arrangements were
made and carried out and from the
general satisfaction that resulted from
their efforts.

The friends and acquaintance of
Will Chandler will be pleased to learn
that he is coming into quite prominent
notice with regard to his frce-hand
drawing propensitics. In the last issue
of Munsey's magazine Mr.. Chandler
had an illustration in one of the ads
which showed marked ability in free
hand drawing. When quite young Mr..
Chandler showed a decided taste for
this art and those who have seen some
of his later attempts are confident of
his success in his natural ability. AL
though he is yet in his teens, if nothing
prevents he is sure to make a name for
himself in the illustrative world. He is
a native of Winthrop, and graduate
OF the High school.

sidered the most pertinent to
public school education in Louis
lana. The great drawback as
pointed out lay in the difficulty
of interesting residents of the
community in public schools.
In this connection it was in
tereSting to note that the dis
seminatiOn OF literature in Ark
ansas, as shown by Mr.. Hine-
man. the hOuse-tO-hOuse canvass
in Mississippi as explained by
Mr.. Whitfield, and the employ
ment of both methods in Maine,
as exposed by Mr.. Stetson, had
brought about farreaching re-
suits. Judging by the tenor of
the discussion, it is not i'm
probable that these means will
be employed in Louisiana.
It is apparent to all that an
educational upheaval for the
betterment of the public school
system in the State is about to
take place. 1t is conceded by
those here that the cause has re-
ceived a strong impetus. This
is the first time that the presi-
dents and superintendent have
been called together for the pur-
pose of a general discussion, but
from the interest which has been
manifested during the past two
days results are bound to follow
which will be felt in every part
of the State.
The object of the gathering is
to solve those problems which
confront the people. and to over
come the difficulties which re-
tard the establishment of public
schools by reason principally of
limited resources. The pub
lie school superintendent are
the medium through which a
few of the reforms are to be
brought about.
1t was unanimously decided at

Parish Superintendent and Presi-
dents of School Boards from
Forty Three Parishes Present.
Prominent Educators Address fleet
ing. Public School Matters Con-
sidered from Every View
POjnt.-G-eat Interest
Manifested.

In response to a call by State
Superintendent ASwell for a
meeting of parish superinten-
dents and presidents Of school
boards at Natchitoches. forty
three parishes we're represented.
The following account of the
proceedings was taken from
specials to the Times Democrat:
Prominent educators from
other sections of the country,
notably w. W. Stetson of Maine.
j. J. Hineman of Arkansas and
H. E. l.. Whitfield Of Missis-
sippi, took a prominent part in
the proceedings. The addresses
we're followed by discussion.
State Superindent Aswell pre-
sided over all the sessions.
During the day public school
matters were considered from
every view point. The greatest
benefit is being drawn from
an exposition Of the system as
it exists in Maine, Arkansas and
Mississippi by the superinten-
dents Of public schools of those
States. The chief points
brought out to-day were: The
country rs a local unit of taxation.
State appropriations. teachers
qualifications aud examinations.
sources of revenue, taxation and
means of interesting parishes in
schools.
This latter question was con-

ing of the association, that
a new course of study was need
ed in the public schools in the
State, and State Superintendent
! Aswell will accordingly take up
the Encouragement Of studies,
with the cooperation of leading
teachers of the State, so as to
have the course in readiness for
next June. This applies to all
parishes except Orleans.
! A strong effort is being made
to get a large attendance at the
teachers meeting at Lafayette,
Dec. q to 30, and the superin-
tendents are pledged to do their
best to have the teachers of their
respective parishes take part.
! Superintendent Easton made a
short address, in which he urged
that all teachers join the associa-
ton, even though they could not
go to the meeting.
The question of the keeping of
records occupied considerable
time at the morning session. It
was pointed out that the system
had many deficiencies. The
present one will be changed and
a uniform system Of record
keeping will be arranged for the
entire State, the record blanks
to be supplied teachers by the
State Department of Education.
When filled out they will be pre-
served. enumeration of children
attending line schools came up
for discussion, but no decision
was reached on this point.
The a pportionment of salaries
was also considered.
Superintendent T. Walker Of
the Deaf and Dumb Institute at
Baton Rouge made an address,
in which he urged that children
who we're too deaf to attend the
public schools be sent to the In
stitute for instruction. Tuition
is free, and there is no reason
why any child should not be edu-
Gated because of it's infirmity.
Circulars will be sent over the
State with the objec t of reaching
parents Of children so afflicted.
1t is worthy of note that poll
tics were entirely eliminated
from the discussions. They
were completely subordinated
to the cause of educatiSn.
A resolution offered by +. A..
Middleton was adopted that
the association, including the
superintendents. express it's
appreciation and approval of
Congressman Ransdell's efforts
to procure f-anking privileges
for educational matters. It.
carried unanimously.

presented during the morning .
