the school house and the teachers ar,
the finest forces at work in mOderr
times for the training of our youth il
lives of usefulness. and of service t(
mankind. With this thought as the
guiding motive in all we do as guard
ians of the public schools. we MAJ
hope for definite and substantial
benefits to attend all our labOrs in
that direction.
1t must be remembered, however,
that our best endeavOrs in behalf OF
the school children of the parish will
be advanced or retarded according to
the extent and degree of interest and
support the school authorities and
teachers receive from parents and
public spirited citizens: because in
the natural and unavoidable division
of school work between the school
house and the home, it is inevitable
that the parents and the public have
direct and equal responsibility.
In the all-important work of public
education which has been cOnfided to
our hands by the State, l earnestly
trust that we shall do our own part
we'll: and, for the rest, have an
abiding faith in the plain sense and
patriotism of the people we have been
elected to serve, and whose welfare is
inseparably bound up with our own.

All of our East Side orchardists re-
port their orchards very free from the

quality OF arsenic, we are not able to
say, but having experienced just the
kind OF a summer, during which the
moth is supposed 10 flourish, we must
attribute the absence Of the little dew
