OPINION.
To the Editor Of the Messenger:

addressed 10 the public under the
signature of Mrssrs }. II Olivier
aud j. G. Brnu,9ari All attack was
made ou tn" views Of writer of
same date IN the Messenger aud
who signed himself under the nom
DE- plume observer"
We would not take notice of this
article but for the words coward
ly letter" appear three times, in
the first paragraph of said card
and false statements, one time,
for these reasons the card of
Messrs. Olivier and Broussard de-
serves response.
We disavow any hostility toward
any member of the school board
and when it is implied that the
article in the Messenger to which
exception is taken WAS written for
the sole purpose of injuring any
members of said board III the
chances of their election; the in.
situation is groundless.
The school board aud it's officers
are a political body in the public
service and who will deny that
just criticism and scrutiny can not
be made about their official ac-
tions 10y any one whenever and
wherever he pleases? To affirm
the contrary would he absurd.
Messrs. Olivier and Broussard
characterize the excepted article
in the Messenger 40 coward y at
tack, because it is made under Il
fictitious bi gnature; but are not
hundreds of articles of criticism of
public officers daily written in the
picSs lutoubbOuI tIC (Oubtiy VII.
der fictitious signatures and yet
they are not considered cowardly
attacks?
We will agree with them that if
Observers statements were false,
or purposely false, that it would
have been cowardly attack on
the board. But are the before
mentioned assertions false and
have they been proven SO? We
still affirm it as our belief that on
Aug. l, the date Oh which the pa
rish list of names of teachers was
published that there was one or
more names of teachers, we do not
know how many, on said list, who
had not then passed the required
examinations, while at the same
time there WAS one or more applica-
tons of qualified teachers before
the Superintendent or Board for
work in tie schools and whose
name Ur names were not pat on
the list What did that look like?
1t certainly looked like the schools
existed for one set of teachers and
not for another.
Mrssrs. Olivier and Bruussard
say that mhny of our schools have
advanced To that stage of Develop
meDt where the teachers of first
grade certificates are required to
teach them and that this parish
failed To supply the demand for
this class of teachers AMI that they
60 outside the parish to get them.
How many first grade crrtificated
teachers are needed in the parish ?
We will answer the question by
stating that about four are neces-
sary. They also state that some
Of the teachers have been put off

nc dlbtl NUN ScSSlOu was

The devotional exercises at the

Millions Cross the Ocean.

Statistics of the transatlantic
passenger travel, East and West,
during the year ended on Tuesday,
show the enormous total of 1851
32S, as many persons as the COM
bined population of st. Louis,
Boston, Baltimore, Cleveland, Buff
falo, San Francisco and Cincinatti.
During the year 972, $40 more
persons crossed the ocean between
Europe and America than during
the year 1906 and 54l, Isl more
than in the year 1904.
Coming westward during the
year we're l 1899, $40 persons, 20O,-
600 more than the combined East
and West travel in 1904.
During 1907, 1851, 32S persons
went from America to Europe.
During the year the number of
foreigners resident in the United
States was not increased as much
as curing the year 1906, although
$50, 536 more arrived from abroad
This was Offset by the fact that
242, 565 more steerage passengers,
that is to say returning emigrants,
went back to Europe during 1907
than during 1906.
This unusual exodus to Europe
is to be accounted for by the de-
creased demand for labor here du-
ring the last few months. AS soon
as industrial conditions improve
we may expect many of those who
have gone back to the old country
to come again bringing thousands
of others with them.
