OPPORTUNITY FOR SERVICE

Lafayette, La, July 19, 1908.
To The Advertiser:
Although the ''yoke" has been a
sweet one, because it was a labor OF
love and a duty to posterity, never
theless I must confess that I view with
great complacency the approaching
termination of my official connection
with the public schools, after nearly
nine years of continuous service In
the work.
In reviewing the part l have taken
in the administration of the schools,
l am impressed mostly with two facts:
| the first that I was not able to give as
much time and attention to the duties
of my Office as the Importance OF the
subject demanded; the second, that in
the performance of duty it was un
avoidable that l should sometimes
cross the pleasure, the purpose or the
interests Of other and estimable
people, with the result of alternating
their good will, or friendship. Truly,
these are two sources of deep regret
to me.
And now, to the more serious pur-
pose of this address.
The proper education of our chill
dren-and by this is meant a rational
preparation for q life of usefulness to
themselves and their fellow-beings-
is q field which holds out supreme op-
portunities for social service: oppor-
tunities which should appeal with
force to men and women who love chill
dren not for their own sake alone, but
also because they are conscious of the
natbral obligation they r under to
contribute their part to the welfare OF
the human race by developing through
the influence of the home, the school
and the church all the nobler qualities
Of character in those who will in q few
years be controlling and guiding the
weighty affairs of the world. How
these children will act in that time,
whether wisely OF f~oolishly, whether
rightly or wickedly depends to a large
extent N what they are being made,
to-day, by parents, guardians and
teachers.
We are all agreed in Loyalty sup

able system of education and the re.
sponsibiiity for it, the merit OF its sue

on us-the people.

the world. and have the will to do it.
That is an end to call forth our deep
est wisdom and strongest endeavOrs.
The Parish Board of School Direc-
tors is a very important element in
the organization of our public school
system, because the power lays largely
with the school board of determining
the kind of education and training
the children under its jurisdiction are
going to receive. A superintendent OF
schools may be an able and progress
sive educator, and yet his work not
count for much because seriously
handicapped by a set of directors
holding narrow or Anticipated views
concerning methods of education and
school manag cement, and imbued with
false ideas Of economy. There are
some qualifications that are indispen-
sable in the makeup of a good school,
director. He should be fair-minded-
that is, unbiased and open to reason.
He should possess much common
sense and be earnest of purpose, so as
to be able to distinguish between the
shadow and the substance, and de-
eide questions of policy upon their
own merit and with an eye single to
the welfare of the schools. He should
be a lover of little children. so that he
may be depended on at all times to de-
fend them against the sordid and ma
terialistic influences that ever stand
ready to deprive the child of his God
given right to healthily expand in
body, mind and soul, and thereby
completely realize his highest destiny.
There is a beautiful legend that at
creations dawn an angel came down
to earth, seeking something to take
back with it to heaven. 1t returned
with a bouquet of flowers, a baby's
smile and a mothers love. When it
reached the pearly gates of Paradise
again the flowers had withered, the
baby's smile had vanished, but the
mothers love was found to be as pure
and eternal as the waters that flowed
by the heavenly throne, and all the
angels exclaimed: There is nothing
pure enough for heaven but q
mothers lOve.n l plead in the name
of the children for a public school sys-
tenn and scheme of education In which
"a mothers love" shall be the guild
ing spirit and controlling influence.
Let good men in Lafayette town and
parish respond to the cry of the chill
dren and the call of their country, by
offering their services as school d.
rectors, willing to cheerfully and self
sacriicingly take the up work in the
good cause OF public education soon
to be relinquished by the present
School Board, whose term Of Office
will expire following the election OF
school directors next November;

private school develops too often.
The boy brought up in the public
school has the best possible education
to fit him for a successful career as a

CAREER MAY BE.
Every citizen should distrust the
man who speaks against the public
school, who seeks to curtail it, who in
any way would hamper its utmost de-

help on the work Of the teachers and
the development of the children's
minds. Remember that mere book
learning, without APPLICATION, is
of little value. Help your children to
apply in daily life the knowledge that
the school has given to them. Let
their vacation be A REAL VACA-
TON. Don't crowd mental work on
them at a time when they should be ac-

INTEREST THEIR MINDS, and that

They have heard of the Law of GRAY

practically its meaning in the open
air, by the stone that falls from the

INT ER VIEWED AS TO
 TREATMENT BY THE BRITONSI

New York, August 16.-The American athletes who won fame at the Olympic games are beginning to get home. Up to this morning not one of them but has a word to say in support of the intoler- able treatment accorded the Americans by the British Olympic officials. It would be manifestly impossible in the scope of this letter to give anything like a compendium of the complaints made by the returning Americans, and besides this has already been done in the news columns. Some few experiences are worth putting as a matter of record
 President James E. Sullivan of the American Athletic union said on his re- turn;
 English sportsmanship! I don't want to hear that expression again as long as I live. There is no such thing as English fair play today. No, sir, not after see- ing the Stadium fiascos. All of you hava heard of the outrageously unfair treat ment the officials meted out to our men. There were four English officials who were prominently unfair in their duty. They were Dr. Bulger, MT. Fisher, MT. Andrews and MT. Davidson. Andrews as chief clerk in the course of the Marathon race, showed himself up in a particularly obnoxious manner. I could fill a book on incidents of the unsportsmanlike and un- just actions of the British officials. Lord Desborough is a true sportsman, but he knows almost nothing about amateur athletics in the manner in which he should know them to hold as responsible a position as he held.
 And the British people! Do you call boohing and bahing your competitors whenever they showed on the field sports manlike? The British press thought it wonderful that we should cheer Walker when he defeated Rector The South African beat the gun. He did not do it Intentionally. It was the starters fault. We considered the South African beat Rector fairly and squarely Therefore. we cheered him. The first man to clasp Walkers hand after the race was Rec tor. Do you think Wilson or Hallows went out of their way to shake Shep- pards hand after he trimmed them in the 15O0-metre event? No siree.

Greer Retains lille
 As Champion Sculler

 This last named event, although de- layed until the sun was sinking below the Berkshires, was well worth waiting for. Four crews padded to the start a mile and a half away, and at the half mile New York was leading, with Detroit second, Minnesota third and the Riverside men tagging At the mile post Detroit and Minnesota spurted until both lapped the New York shell. From that point to the finish 1t was spurt after spurt until in the stretch New York had less than half a length on Detroit, which in turn was being overhauled by Min nesota. At the finish New York had half length over Detroit, while Min nesota's bow oar was abreast the De- troit coxswain. Riverside was only two lengths astern.

REAL REASONS FOR
 CANNING OF SMITH

The Philadelphia North American gives the following information on why Sid Smith was traded for Catcher Blue of St. Louis, against the wishes of Philly fan dom:
 "The real story of the exchange of Catcher Sid Smith for Catcher Blue of the Browns, has reached the east. The trade, on the surface, looked like ridic- ulous move on the part of Connie Mack, but the transaction only reflects there is a great deal doing on the inside which does not reach the ears of the public.
 Mack rid himself of Smith for the good of the team. Last year Mack had a young infielder who fielded so brilinat- ly and batted so hard that 1t was pre- dicted that he would become one of the greatest players in the country. This year this same player has slumped woefully in his batting and fielding, and his de- cline has been one of the principal rea- sons that the Athletics are not in the fight for the pennant
 Smith and the player in mind became greatly attached to each other when they met down on the training trip. Connie Mack soon became convinced that this friendship was not for the best interests of the star who slumped. Therefore to free the latter from undesirable infiu- ences he traded Smith to St. Louis."

Springfield, Mass, August 16.-Frank D. Greer of the East Boston Athletic association regained his title of cham pion scul1er on the Connecticut river yesterday in the principal event of the National regatta. Greer rowed down with apparent ease four crack oars men, including Harry S. Bennett of the Springfield Boat club, who defeated the Bostonian last year in Philadel- phia.
 Greer held his opponents easily, made the turns and increased his ad- vantage on the way home, when he merely padded across the line.
 John ONeill of Halifax, who entered the championship event by reason of his victory in the association singles yesterday, was good second, beating Bennett, who had to row hard to keep Durando Miller of New York in fourth position. Fred Shepherd of Brooklyn was a poor fifth.
 It was the fourth time that Greer has captured the championship and he was heartily cheered at the finish. The winners of the days other six events were the Vesper Boat club of

PAUL COBB PLANS
 TO MAKE RECORD
BY PAUL COBB.

My first baseball experience was with the University School for Boys at Stone Mountain, near Atlanta, where I hit .500 for the short college season. My brother, Tyrus, recommended me to the manage ment of the Kalamazoo club, in the Mich igan State league, and joined that team when I was IS years old.
 I joined the Leavenworth club of the Western association the middle of last season, and was sold to Joplin in the early part of this season.
 I attribute my batting ability or good luck in batting to the able assistance and tutorage of Manager John Fillman of the Joplin club, who has helped me in every way possible. I never dreamed of play in major league baseball, but now that the opportunity appears open to me feel certain that could make good.
 I know of no other club with which I would like to play better than the Browns. l do not expect to prove a sen sation In the major league and may en- counter some difficulty in hitting the big league pitchers, but I do not expect to fail.
