The Altar Guild.

Grace Church News:
The Altar Guild of Grace
Church met in the church after
service on Ascension Day to elect
officers for the coming year.
The resignation, on account of
removal from the parish of Mrs.
VIM. Tenney, was received with
deep regret. Her long and faith
full service as. president has been
truly appreciated and the mem
bers of the Guild will miss her
constantly. At her suggestion,
Ascension Day was named as the
time for the yearly elections in
future.
The officers elected were:
president, Mrs. J. L. Golsan;
vice-president, Mrs. R. G. Wick
life; secretary and treasurer,
Miss Zellie Lawrason.
A review of the years work
noted new stoles, a new hymn
board, the gift of a member of
the Guild. The beginning of a
fund to renew worn cushions,
benches and carpet. The Altar
Guild had also been interested
in the improvements to altar and
chancel furniture, which were ac-
complished by gifts from the
congregation.
The treasurer reported an over
draft at the Bank as paid in full
and the next dues would be to
the Guilds credit.

which he belongs. While not
partisan of Gov. Blanchard and
holding no brief for him, we
take the same view that the New
Orleans Times-Democrat does,
which says:
The refusal of the convention
to seat the Blanchard delegation
from Caddo was, in our opinion
a mistake, concession to fac
tionalism which should not have
been tolerated by a convention
representing the entire party.
The delegation unseated was.
we believe, the only one chosen
in primary election and hold
ing it's credentials from the vot-
ers direct. If there is anything
for which Democracy stands, it
is for popular control and the
primary princ!gle. Yet the con-
vention has deliberately turned
down the delegation selected by
that method in favor of one nam
ed by a committee with the OBJ
vious intention of casting a
slight upon a man who has just
left the gubernatorial chair and
has occupied the highest offices
in the gift of the State. With
the fractional fight in Caddo or
elsewhere the State convention
properly had no concern. It's
.-i'~.-@a-,-.
elected by Democratic voters
was, we submit, unworthy and
unwise."

d That the poeVeg Of 1evyi1,q tao

y pot'ce Jurors and city councils an
: 0eSted IN school boards" us sti
alive and a menace, is ridiculous
undemocratic and subyersive O
local government.
Not satisfied with the far
reaching autocratic authorit,
there is pending in the House
Senate Bill No 6, bearing all tn,
ear marks of the educational de
partment" and which is fathered
by Hon. John Marks and which
passed the Senate recently with
scarcely, if any, opposition.
1t is stipulated in this bill that
First. Before any person
may be eligible to appointment
as parish superintendent, he
shall hold a certificate of eligibil-
lty issued by the State Board of
Education, which certificate
shall be revocable by the State
Board OF Education if at any
time the parish superintendent
should be found incompetent,
inefficient or unworthy. When
such certificate is revoked the
office of parish superintendent
by such act is declared vacant.
Second, That the parish sup
erintendent shall nominate all
teachers tobe employed in the
public schools of the parish"
AS contemplated in the bill,
the State Board of Education.
would be composed of the Gov
ernor, the Superintendent of
Public Education, the Attorney
General and seven appointees of
the governor, who, practically,
would be vested with the authori-
ty OF naming the superintendent
in every part of the State and to
declare who are eligible for ap-
pointment.
1t is needless to say that the
superintendent of Public Edu-
cation would dominate and this
board, exercising full sway
could nullify the will of the peo-
pie. Indeed, the enactment of
1906, which deprives the COVER
nor and the State Board of the
right of appointing the members
of the parish board would be null |
t1I1ed. ~Urrdvr- t,.-.,-. ::--::-----G-ALat
Marks bill the people would be-
come mere ciphers or figure
heads, as all power would be |
vested in the State Board. The
Caucasian would impress on it's |
readers and the people that it is
not urging opposition to these
schemes in a captious spirit. It
stands for the promotion of edu-
cation on the most liberal scale |
but a moments reflection must
lead every fair-minded, every |
sensible and every conservative
citizen of the State to urge the
resistance of such grant of pow
er in the School Board of the
State.
Everywhere throughout the |
State there is a strong public |
sentiment in favor of the people |
having local control in the ad- |
Of the affairs of |
their schools, but this would be
impossible if the Marks bill is
enacted into law.
If it be not too late, the people
must be active with their pro
test and with the press influence
this bill can be defeated

into the woods at the roadside, his
hands clasped before him, his lips in
motion.
Buckley did not see his employer
again until about 2 o'clock in the aft
ernoon. Then he came in slowly and
sank into his chair at his desk and
took up the letters George had left
there for him. There was a general
droop Of dependency on him, n he
handled the letters with ~listless mat
t%ention.
''Wheat's still a-climbin',' he said, a
little note of qualification in his voice
as he allowed a thin market report to

Then George saw the old man push
back the letters on his desk, half of
which he had not opened, and a low,
stined groan escaped his lips, Buckley
got down from his high stool and went
and leaned over him.
