The journalist had suddenly been
called upon to write an obituary notice
of the late Bret Harte. He sat down
full of enthusiasm for his subject and
with what seemed to him pretty com
plete knowledge, and the result was q
glowing article. He fired it to the
printer; and when it came back to him
he was appalled, to find that he had
written a column or so about Mark
Twain. Time pressed. however, as only
a few minutes remained in which to
get the article into the paper. So he
simply changed the book titles and let
it go.-1llustrated Sunday Magazine.

Mr.. AsWell on the Need of the
Schools.

Mr.. Aswell on the Need of the
Schools.
N. o. Item:
Superintendent J. B. Aswell
has made a strong plea for the
betterment of the State public
school system in his address be-
fore the Public School Alliance.
Several of his suggestions are
especially worthy of endorse
ment, and were very happily
made to that particular organiza-
tion, for upon it's active interest
and labor will depend a huge
part of the success hoped for.
The value of cooperative or
ganization of parents and public
spirited men and women who APP
preciate the value of general edu-
cation can hardly be overrated.
For, strange as 1T may seem /,
governments are often the slow
est to realize that money invested
in public education is really. an
economy in raising the general
level of citizenship. Public sen.
timent must be centered upon
this object and public effort or
ganized and directed to It's attain
ment. Such organizations as the
Public School Alliance are the ul-
innate forces which, with the con-
slant advocacy of the press, will
extend and render more effective
the system of public education
and secure for it the full govern
mental support which it de-
serves.
This State gives too small a
proportion of it's revenues to the
support of free education. Su.
perintendent Aswell states that
the Legislature will be asked to
raise this proportion from / 1920
mills to 2 mills and to provide a
more definite plan for the
parishes to increase their aliot-
ment. Coming nearer home, we
realize the great need of a def.
mite school fund in the New Or.
leans budget.
Everything depends upon an
increased revenue. The salar-
les of teachers have been raised
during the last four years. but
no salary of less than 5000 year
should be paid to any teacher.
The enrolment in the public
schools has increased $1,000 in
the last four years, but there are
to-day $4,000 educable children
in the State who are not in the
schools.
=
The time has now come for or.
ganized effort on the part of the
press and all enlightened citizens
to secure the fullest possible
support from the State for pub
lie education as we'll as laws to
perfect the working of the sys-
tenn. The legislature is about to
meet. The revenues of the State
have been increased. It is prob
able also that the projected re-
forms in the assessment and col
lection of taxes will further add
to the revenues while, at the
same time, tightening the burden
of the property owner. The ad-
vocates Of public education
should exert every influence to
secure the rightful share of the
schools from whatever increase
of revenue is gained. Nor should
effort cease for a moment to seek
