WILLING WORKERS
A BUSY CLUB
The Inception cf a Movement
that Promises Much in
the Future.

This band of young misses,
which The Sentinel mentioned
sometime since, and suggested
that they take up the civic i'm
prOvement work, have needed
our advice and have commenced
that laudable and praisewOrthy
undertaking already. They have
commenced by purchasing some
lawn benches and settees, and
volunteered to serve the refresh
ments on the occasion of the
reception of the teachers Thurs
day of last week, and on Friday
they commenced to tag every one
who wished to see the court
square beautifed. On Saturday
night they gave an ice cream
festival ON the court house
grounds. Their cream, sherbet
and cakes were perfect, their
service was dainty aud we are
sincerely sorry that they had no
better attendance than they did.
One of the features of the
evenings entertainment was the
voting off of a splendid cake.
The editor of The Sentinel was
asked to conduct the voting con-
test, though not being an adept
in the manipulation of the ballot
box as the result will show. The
candidatef voted for were Col.
W. l.. Smylie and Miss Otti:
Barnes, the president ef the
Willing Workers. Col. Smylie
received $50 votes and Miss
Barnes 600. Had the editor OF
The Sentinel been an adept, he
would never have let his com
petitor run so far. ahead of this
bright young miss. The. Colonel
evened up by dividing the cak,
with us: the charge of stufling the
ballot box cannot be brought in
on that account.

SUMMER NORMAL
MOST SUCCESSFUL
What Its Recurrence Means TO
the Future of Winnfield's
School Interests.

The summer normal which
closed last week in this city was
one of the most successful held
in the State. The teachers and
student body. as Il whole, seemed
imhued with the Importance of
their work. They have created
an interest in the matter of edu-
cation, which seemed to be getting
on the wane here, so much ST.
that some began to fear the tax
for the school here would he
defeated. The many expressions
of approval by the citizens since
the school closed last Friday leads
us to believe there is a wonderful
change of sentiment here They
all seem to think that the summer
normal was great benefit to this
community. That it would be Il
great boon to the city to have
them with us again, but We could
not consistently ask the State
Board to give us another school
here when we absolutely refused
to have a school, ourselves; the
failure to vote the tax would
result in there being no school
here.
We have a number of citizens
in our city who moved here to
take advantage of our school.
which had reached a very high
standard. Let us get together,
vote the tax, build the high school
building and get the summer
normal for next year.

il to our readers. We noticed in
the proceedings of the Senate that
the bill mentioned in this article
As having been introduced by Hon
&c. Claiborne and passed the
House of Representatives, is now
in the Senate committee on Health
and Quarantine. This committee
is composed of majority of allo-
pathic, or as they are pleased to
call themselves, regulars; there
has been ample time for n report.
Mr.. Claiborne said last Monday
that unless this committee report
ed there would be resolution
introduced requiring them to
report one way or the other.
desperate efforts are being
made to secure the passage of the
Liable bill, which tend. strongly
in the direction of establishing u
medical trust i'm Louisiana, the
trust to be controlled by one
branch of the profession to the
dctriment of the other reputable
branches. One of the main pur-
poses of the bull seems TO be TO
place the practice of osteopathy
under the control of the medical
board.
Another bill is pending in the
(, General Assembly to create a
board of osteopathy, the purpose
of which Is to regulate the practice
tf that branch of the profession
by giving the said board the right
to examine and license physicians
who desire to practice that branch
of the profession, thereby to as
sure character and competency in
that field. That bill was intro
duced by Mr.. Claiborne and it
successfully ran the gauntlet in
the House and is now before the
Senate.
"Any fair-minded person will
have no difficulty in understands
ing the result that would flow
from putting the regulation and
control of osteopathIc practice in
the hands of hostile branch of
the profession. Such action would
be unprecedented and most tyran-
nical. IL it were the purpose OF
the Legislature to strangle osteo-
pathy. which is inconceirab!e, IT
wonld he better and more straight
forward for IL to do So directly by
an act prohibiting o>teopaths
from praclicing their profession
