"Passangers on the ct. Northern's
Hannah branch are making many com
plants lately on the quality of service
which the Great Northern is giving the
public. The traffic department seems
to have fallen into the hands of very
parsimonious management whose sole
aim pears to be to run trains on the
branch lines as cheaply as possible
without any regard for human comfort"
says the Park River Gazette News.
"Under the company's present policy the
heavy coaches have been taken off and
the small, antquated ones again inn
pressed into service. These old type
cars were built before there was much
attention paid by builders to the com
forts of passengers. They have the
crudest means of ventilaticns and the
unvestibuled platforms furnish scant
safety to occupants who move from one
Car to another when the train is in
motion. The passengers traffic on this
branch is greater than on any similar
line in tho state, according to repor',
and the accommodations furnished are
tho target for severe criticism by both
comnsrcial men and business men along
! the lias.

School Matters.

The following important notices were
sent out from Baton Rouge by State Su-
perintendent Harris to the several parish
superintendent:
81 have ruling from the Attorney
General to the effect that it will be legal
to require a teacher who holds third
grade certificate to take an examination
when applying for a second-grade certiti-
cate only in the additional subjects re-
quired for a second-grade certificate; the
teacher who holds a second-grade certifi-
cate may be examined only in the adj
ditional subject required for first-grade
certificate; and the teacher holding a
first-grade certificate the additional sub
jects required for a State certificate. IT
will be necessary to have the State Board
of Education authorize this system of
examination, and at its next meeting /
shall ask that this action be taken. /
regret that | cannot authorize you to put
the system into practice at this time, but
unfortunately it is impossible to secure
the authorization of the State Board be-
fore the August examinations. | feel sure
that you and the teachers of the State
will welcome this change in the exami-
nations. 1t should result in ability Of
the teachers to raise the grade of their
certificates every year until the highest
grade is reached.
Last fall many teachers employed
from other States to take positions in
Louisiana schools failed to report for the
examination which was held few weeks
prior to the opening of schools, and AT
the request of several of the superintend-
ents special examinations or provisional
certificates were provided to meet these
cases. l wish to call your attention to
the fact that the general examination
this year will be held throughout the
State on August 20, % and %, and it
will be absolutely necessary for teachers
who have been employed from other
States and who do not hold valid Louis
lana certificates to report for this exami-
nation. Their failure to do so will be
equivalent to a cancellation of their con-
tracts, for / shall not consent to their
teaching in the public school unless they
hold the certificate required by law and
| shall issue no provisional certificates to
teachers of this character. 1t will be the
policy of this department to issue no pro-
visional certificates at all in the future
unless cases arise where it is impossible
to secure teachers qualified under our
law. These are the only cases where
provisional certificates will be issued 10
bridge over the time until the next tx-
animation"

Death of Otto Pape.

Otto Pate, a young man from
Rodney, Miss, who is very we'll
known in St. Joseph, where he
frequently came to play base ball
in days past, died unexpectedly
in Vicksburg last week. The fol-
lowing account of his death is

man, 72S Pearl street. Deceased is sur
vived by one brother, Charley Pape, liv-
ing here, and three sisters, Mrs. F.

Or. Caldwell INDICATED.

The Grand Jury of Natchitoches
parish in session this week at the
town of Natchitoches, pursuant to
q special charge from the Court,
made thorough investigation of
the charges of graft and mis-
management preferred against
Prof. b. G. Caldwell, former Pres
ident of the State Normal School,
located at that place. The report
of the Grand Jury is a complete
vindication of Prof. Caldwell's
administration of the affairs of
that institution and q deserved
tribute to that most excellent
gentleman and distinguished edu-
Gator. The report follows:
We had the pleasure of inspecting the
operation of the State Normal School and
OF witnessing the instruction of the 1900
or more pupils, graduates taking post
graduate courses and under graduates
now attending the summer term. This
is, indeed, a model school. Under the
able management Of President Aswell the
enrolment has greatly increased and We
believe, in a short while, this will be one
of the leading educational institutions in
the South.
Pursuant To your special instructions
We very carefully and thoroughly inves-
tigated the matters relating to B. c..
CaldwelPs management of the affairs Of
that institution, and while making this
investigation we have had before us the
report of the travelling auditor on these
matters sent here by the governor and
handed to us.
Notwithstanding the most diligent
scrutiny of Nc. CaldwelPs conduct we
Were unable to find any facts that
amounted even to suspicion of anything
more culpable on his part that loose
management of the business affairs of
the Boarding Club, as this looseness was,
we are entirely convinced, more the re-
suit of his inadequate clerical assistance
than to want of business ability. Mr..
Caldwell deserves the everlasting praise
and gratitude of the people of Louisiana
for the magnificent work that he did in
building up the Normal School to its
present greatness and in the cause of
education generally.

We regret very much to learr
that Mr.. J. w. Sistrunk, who has
been in charge of Oneonta planta.
ton for some years, to the utmost
satisfaction of his employers, ha,
rendered his resignation, and will
leave Tensas parish, locating, we
understand, near Jackson, Miss,
where he has acquired very
pretty farm of his own.
Mr.. Sistrunk's voluntary re.
tirement from the management
of this property and removal from
the parish is regretted by both
his employers and friends, all of
whom wish him the greatest sue
cess in his new home.
Daring his long stay in Tensas
parish Mr.. Sistrunk has consti-
tuted all that goes toward good
citizenship and contributed his
share in the material develop
ment of our parish, and he and
his excellent family have won a
firm place in the friendship and
affection of our people.
Mr.. Sistrunk will be succeeded
on Oneonta by Mr.. s. Douglass
Johnston, most industrious
young man and splendid farmer.
Mr.. Johnston has previously been
associated with Mr.. Sistrunk on
this property and is familiar with
the duties and responsibilities in
cIdent to the successful operation
of same, and is altogether the
right man far the place. Mr..
Johnston will probably move his
parents and sister with him to
Oneonta, and they will be greatly
missed from the social circles of
st. Joseph.

Mr.. Cushman and Mr.. Hoffman,

Mr.. Cushman and Mr.. Hoffman
government entomologists, paid a
visit to St. Joseph this week and
made a careful inspection of the
cotton crop in this section. They
consider the infestation greater
here than in some sections but
not as great as in others where
the weevil has been in greater evil
dence. The outlook, however, for
this crop is much more favorable
than was anticipated some time
ago and a yield of fair proportions
is now hoped for.

of crops here since the advent of
the weevil, and especially about
Lake st. Joseph, where the crops
were so utterly ruined by the hail

Cllnton's argument and took his
