After several months, work Sheriff
Corley has succeeded IN catching J..
B. DeLoach, wanted for obtaining
money under false pretenses from the
Citizens Bank, OF Batesburg, and the
Bank, OF Saluda. 1t will be recalled
that Sheriff Corley had him located
in Florida some months ago, but be-

his escape. This time, however, De
Loach was at Waynesville, n. c.,
and the Sheriff succeeded In getting
him without trouble. DeLoach is
now IN Jail.

Too Much Shouting and Dress Parade.

In the opinion of some of the friends of
public education Teachers Institutes, Con-
ventions and Normals and the like are be-
ing overstressed in this State. Certainly
it is good thing for teachers to attend
these gatherings; but the thing may be
overdone, especially when it is done at the
expense of the children. And when the
expenses of teachers to such assemblings
are paid out of the public school funds and
their salaries also permitted to run while
they are absent from their schools attend
ing Normals, Institutes and Conventions,
1t is being done to some extent at the ex-
pense OF the children. In the opinion of
some good people, our educational system
The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1907-04-11

is becoming top heavy with this kind OF
dress parade display. Our teachers must
be very poorly indeed equipped for their
work, if it is necessary for them to do as
much of this sort of thing as some of them
are expected to do. Shouting and dress
parade are we'll enough in their place, but
will not take the place of patient, quiet
and systematic work in the school room in

Claiborne Guordian-Jounal.
We are friend to the teachers, and we
have always favored everything that we
believed would advance the interest of
education in our State; but we are opposed
to so much of this shouting and dress
parade and ''tell the papers, policy.
We agree with the editor Of the Guardian
Journal in all that he says in the above
paragraph, and join with him in asking for
quiet and systematic work in the school
room in the great work of public education
in Louisiana. That's what the parents and
guardians who have educable children
want. And this good work cannot be
hidden under a bushel, but will speak for
itself. Those who do the good work will
be "praised in their gates" by an appre-
ciative public, who will not need any

Resolutions of Respect.

Whereas, it has pleased the Great Grand Master
OF the universe to from the scenes of earth
our beloved Worshipful Master and brother, Dr.
Harry H. Barnacastle, and whereas, it is our duty
to meekly accept the dispensations Of providence
as melted out by Him, the allwise, whose wisdom is
above and beyond the narrow vision of man, and
we do hereby recognize the majesty of His will, at
the same time we mourn our loss therefore,
Be it Resolved, That our Lodge and the Fra
ternity have suffered an irreparable loss. Feeble
words cannot express our sorrow and regret.
DR.. Barnacastle was the soul of unselfshness;
he was brother, not only in the Lodge but on the
street or in the busy mart; the sunshine Of his
happy disposition was poured out lavishly upon all
with whom he came In contact. The practice of
his profession did not blunt his sympathetic nature
for he would mnge tears Of grief with relatives of
deceased patients.
His purse was ever open to the appeals of the
poor.
He was broad in his view OF men and matters.
While he accorded to every one the right of their
convictions he was loyal to his own.
He was dutiful son and brother, an affectionate
husband, an indulgent father, an honest and noble
man; he crowned it all by being good Mason.
We shall ever miss the sunshine OF his presence,
the sober counsel in trouble the vacant place, the
warm pulsatng grip.
But while we grieve at the loss, we are thankful
for having had him as an example of our faith and
practice, and bespeak emulation of his character in
the lives of the brethren.
We inscribe this feeble token on page 226 of our
minute book and dedicate to his memory, our
highest monument, by which the initiates of future
generations may know we loved him.
We recommend that the Lodge be draped, that
the brethren wear the usual badge of mourning for
thirty days. Nv E1sroN

time lost and the money spent by teachers
in attending Teachers Institutes the AL

time when they occur. The Institute
leaders generally discuss matters impossi-

the teachers return home without having
any increased knowledge that will benefit
their schools. The Legislature should lose
no time in repeating this law, which seems
to have been adopted by that body for the
