s.System" In the Public Schools.

four or five papers i'm the State
have been striving industriously
to stir up dissatisfaction with
the alleged "dictatorial methods"
of Superintendent Aswell and
the public school administration
system he stands for. In view
of the wonderful Improvement
in efficiency and in standard
noticeable in louisiana during
the past two years. this propa-
ganda certainly is to be regret
ted. 1t is not so much an attack
on Superintendent Aswell as a
repudiatiOn of all that has been
done by him to better the con-
dition of the teachers and to IN
crease the facilities for the dis
seminations of primary educat'
ion throughout the State
The papers that have taken the
matter in this light doubtless be-
lieve they have good reason for
resentment. 1t is no doubt true
that the present school admin
istration has made some great
mistakes and has done things
in individual cases that appear
harsh and to some extent ar
bitrary.
However, it is extremely diff
ficult to put into effect any far
reaching reforms without work
ing hardships on some indlvl'
duals.
Particularly would this be the
case where any concerted effort
was being made to get into the
parish offices of school superin-
tendent and on the local school
boards men with practical ex-
perience as teachers or with per-
sonal familiarity with modern
school methods.
Any general rule is bound to
work awry in some cases.
Yet to make exceptions is dis
%astrous to the end to be attained.
Thatthe business of teachlngthe
childrenin Louisiana is carried on
far better now than it was under
previous administrations no in
telligent observer of the situat-
ion in all the parishes OF the
state will deny. More children
