very poorly indeed equipped for their

as much OF this sort of thing as some OF

impressed with an erroneous view which
should be broadened in keeping with the

ventlons should be encouraged At best
the teachers do not receive the comDen-
satlon commensurate with their respon-
and if the expenses of the

paid out Of the public school funds, it is

Old Indian Armlets.

In jewelry store at Eufaula I. T.,
there We're recently exhibited two arm
let's made of metal and of the pattern
worn extensively by the Indians CEN
tury ago. The armlets were found in
an old Indian burying ground on the
banks of a creek twenty-five miles
west of Eufaula. Evidently they had
clasped the arms of some Indian brave
who had been buried there. and the
sands had drifted away. leaving the
armlets exposed long after the remains
of the Indian had passed to dust. The
armlets are of the pattern that were
annually given to the Indians by the

THE TEACHERS CONVENTION.

THE TEACHERS CONVENTION
The Teachers have come and gone
but their presence in this city will al
ways be recalled pleasantly. The con-
Vention was a success, and from Its pro-
.ceedings there was derived information
and suggestions which must be helpful
TO the teachers in the future.
OF all the professions, the teachers is
the greatest and the noblest, while the
average compensation IS in sense, III
significant when contrasted with the re-
quirements OF teaching. However, great
improvements are noticeable and the day
is not far distant when the teacher ;
faithfulness in devotion to duty will be
rewarded generously.
In Lorisian the question of public
education is rising gradually over the
politicians, many of whom in their
greed have given little attention to the
teachers; and the day is swiftly coming
when the schools and the teachers will
be isolated from all political influences.
IT is gratifying to note that notwith
standing many of the radical deficiencies
of the public school system of Louis
Jana, progress has been steady and sub
stantial. New buildings are being erect
ed in every parish of the State through
"a special tax voted by the people for
these schoolhouseS.
While on this subject, it may be re-
marked incidentally that the best indi-
cation of the high civilization and char
acter of a people is in their churches and
school houses. Upon these must rest all
that is good and dear to man, as these
are the bedrock to substantial govern
nlent, in the maintenance of law and
order, in stimulating intelligent and pro-
gressive development as well as the best
and noblest of ideals And yet school
houses, of brick or stone, are of little |
value unless there presides within their
walls the teachers to whom are entrust-
ed Our girls and boys, and from these
teachers they draw inspiration to great
and noble deeds
There can not be too many schools |
nor churches in Louisiana; nor can too
much wholesome praise be given the
faithful teachersMand we may say, the
ministers of God, and doubtless from
the Teachers Convention held in Shreve-
port, there will radiate throughout the
State the all-powerful influence which
shall strengthen the spirit of public edu-
cation unto the sublimest realization of
possibilities

tafnly 1t is good thing for teachers to
attend these gatherings, but the thing
may be overdone, especially when it is

when the expenses OF teachers to such

their schools attending normals, insti-
tutes and conventions, it is being done

position more lucrative, but why
should there be any indirect reflection
on the State and the people because the
salary as fixed in the Constitution OF
1893 IS two thousand and not three or
FIVE thousand dollars?
For our part, and The Caucasian is
voicing the views of thousands OF the
people, we would say if Prof. .Aswell
is dissatisfied with the salary fixed by
the Constitution and is allured from
Louisiana by the greater compensation
offered by Mississippi, why let him go,
yes, go, with the best wishes of the
whole people OF this State. He may be
missed, but the office can still be filled
as acceptably and as we'll.

PROF. 7. B. ASWEII.

AT the risk of incurring the displeas-
uTe of some of his friends and admirers,
The Caucasian would not encourage the
efforts which are being directed to inf1u-
ence Prof. J. B. Aswell, State Superin-
+. tendent' of Education, to decline the
Chancellorship of the University of Mis-
sissippi. 1t is of record that Prof As
well has already given notice to the Gov
ernor of his intention of resigning, and
he, doubtless, has given his assurance of
assuming the functions of his office in
the Mississippi University after his re-
lease from Louisiana, and is therefore
under contract with that institution. In
the efforts to induce Prof Aswell to re-
main in Louisiana, it is proposed to in
crease his salary with amounts which
are TO be provided by appropriations by
the police juries in the ffty-rine par
ishes of the State and by private sub
scription if necessary, aggregating two
to three thousand dollars in excess of
the salary of two thousand dollars fixed
by the Constitution of 1893, with an in.
timation of his reelection in 1908.
From sentimental view, the friends
and admirers of Prof. Aswell may be |
indulged in this enthusiasm, but practi-
cally be IS entitled to no special consid-
Grafton or recognition. nor should the
people. be expected to yield to the plaud-
ITS of fulsome praise of his friends.
1t Is very true that Prof Aswe1l is a |
gentleman possessing marked ability; in
deed, his talent stands undisputed, but
ii will not be gainsaid that in Louisiana
there. are men, educators, who are as |
well qualified to fill acceptably and cred
itably the office of State Superintendent
OF Public Educatio., and therefore, it is
unreasonable for aI.y one to assume that
Prof Aswell alone should be recognized
over others. With the plaudits of en-
thusiastic friends and admirers The
Caucasian can have no concern, but it
will not be asserted that Prof Aswell
was not cognizant of the fact that the
salary of his Office when he became
candidate before the people, and when he
assumed the functions of is Office, as
ixed by the Constitution, was two thous-
and having accepted it at
remuneration provided, he virtually
cred into contract with the people

ract was for the term of four years. Il
