''Clickety Clackety Sis Boom Bah!
Welsh High School Rah! Rah! Rah!'

Yes, that is the Welsh high school
yell and will be rendered with much
enthusiasm by a loyal delegation of
rooters, who will attend the field meet
at Crowley Saturday. The Welsh
school will be represented in this
contest by George Russell, John Cos
ner and Lawrence Dautel, and it is ex.
pected that large delegation of the
pupils, as we'll as some others, will at
tend. This is the annual field meet of
the Gulf Coast High School League,
composed of the following schools:
Lake Charles, Welsh, Jennings, De-
Bidder, Leesyille, Abbeville, New
Iberia and Crowley. This league,
with its annual contest, is a good
thing, as it inculcates school spirit
that has been lacking in many of the
schools. And whether the represent
atiYes of this school should win hon.
ors or not, they are worthy of CON-
mendation for the efforts they have
made.

Lake Charles Teachers Study the Nor
al Conditions of Pupils.

At the regular meeting of the Lake
Charles teachers, held in the Central
Building, Saturday, the regular work
was dispensed with and the time was
devoted to the discussion of the moral
conditions of the pupils. A commit
tee appointed to report on this sub
ject at previous meeting, submitted
the following report which was thor
onghly discussed in its various phas.
eS:
The committee found in the lower
grades certain pupils possessed no
idea of property rights. For example,
flowers belonging to one teacher, had
been appropriated and given to other
teachers to gain favor. Money knives,
pencils and other articles found had
been appropriated on the principle
that whatever is lost has no owner.
Furthermore, there had been exam
Piles of actual theft. Two dollars had
disappeared from teachers purse
while she was out of the room. Pitch
pipes had been taken, mistaken pos
siblv for mouth organs. In some
wards articles could not be left in
rooms with any certainty of their be-
ing found again.
Moreover, it was found that the
parents of the children were unac-
quainted with the facts. Instances
were cited in which the parent had
been overwhelmed when informed of
these facts, and they had, without ex-
ception. co-operated nobly with the
teacher in reforming the child. 1t
was discovered that lack of home in
struction accounted for laxness in
morals.
| The institute was unanimous in the
opinion that to overcome these evils,
there must be cooperation of the pat
| ASuS WILL VIC FACULTIES VI VIC various
schools. 1t is urged that the parents
of pupils take direct concern in the
school life of their children and at
tend the next meeting of the institute
to hear a further discussion of the
committee. "
This is subject that should demand
the attention, not only of the Lake
Charles teachers, but those Of every
school in the land, as we'll. The teach
er who deems that he has done his
whole duty when he has taught the
child the lesson contained in the
printed page, he that ever so well
taught, has certainly missed his call
ing and should seek employment in
other lines. Likewise. the teacher
who goes upon the theory that the
child is Just what be is and there is no
use in the teacher trying to make him
any better, has failed to apprehend
the dignity and magnitude of his call
ing. That teacher who fails to i'm
print upon the children under lis
charge, higher ideals and higher
moral conception. has failed in the
prime essentials of teaching.

G. A. Ward entered Byrne Bus
