A recent cablegram intimated
that Germany was openly viola
ting her neutrality by sending q
ship loaded with munitions of war
to the Russians. This may be q
canard. At all events it is known
that Japan has the passive assis-
lance Of Great Britain and the
United States, and that Russia is
tacitly backed by France and Ger
many. II It should turn out that
Germany is helping Russia openly
It may bring about the most Sc
rious complications involving all
tho great powers of the world.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

The annual convention of the
Louisiana State School Teachers
A ssociation which was held in
Lafayette, La, last week, was at
tended by several hundred teach
ers from all over the State. 1t was
the largest attended and most en-
thusiastic meeting ever held since
she organization Of the Associa-
ton. Among much other inter-
esting discussion of educational
affairs the annual report of Presi-
dent T. Fl. Harris, of Baton Rouge,
contained the following:
':We had as well begin to adjust
ourselves to the fact that a great
change is soon to be inaugurated in
the public school system. Whether
it be for good or for i'll, it seems plain
to me that this State has to-day its
last appointive school boards. The
idea is abroad that we have pa ssed the
time when anything tending toward
centralized government is necessary
or wise, and that we have arrived at
that period in our history when the
suffragists of the State are intelligent
enough to know their own needs, and
to choose their own administrators
with better judgment and results than
will obtain when this work is delega-
ted to another who shall act for them.
do not intend to discuss the QueS-
ton as to its merits or dement's. l
look upon it as matter that has been
settled. think that the people have
decided that they are going to elect
all future parish school boards of this
State, and personally, [ believe they
have come to wise conclusion, and
that the change will result in good
for the schools; but there is one point
in this connection that wish to call
attention tO-when the change comes,
unless the sentiment grows that only
the best equipped men should be cleo
only educated men, devoted to the
cause of children, should be entrus-
ted with the important duties devolv-
ing upon the parish uperintendent,
the danger is that those gentlemen
whose influence would be for the ad-
vancement of the cause of education
will hesitate to enter political cam
paign where the prospects of being
defeated by an inferior competitor
are bright and practically certain. To
avoid this condition every man in
Louisiana should realize that the edu-
cation of the young people of this
State is the most sacred cause that
can appeal to him, and he should be
SO exacting in his demands that only
the best fitted shall take in charge the
management of the educational ma
chinery, that no dead weights will
dare aspire to school positions. And
l have enough faith in my people,
and in the good work that has been
done and will be done during the
next four years by the real superin-
tendents and by the really competent
teachers throughout the State, to be-
lieve that this healthy sentiment will
become the rule, and that the school
business will not be looked upon as
legitimate territory for the politi-
cian -
