! rravoe" 10 Italy asked %
Gar.,Iv 110lro son of thai soil,
i.,y . sGIn@ IN the sun, il he
eyer worked. "Well, not often,
signor," the Iounger replied,
"for there are so many saints
days a man can t remember them
all, and surely a man can't work
when there's danger Of breaking
a saints day"
The Louisiana school child is in
almost the same situation. There
are so many holidays that his
margin of time for work is less
ening constantly. And when
allowance is made for his natural
Discrimination to study, as great
as the italian love for basking,
the difficulties are increased.
What are we coming to? For
example, the children here had
two days of the week ending
April 3, one day of Holy Week,
and next comes Rally Day-then
preparation for commencement.
They are in a twitter of eXpecta,
ton from one holiday to another,
of excitement and unrest fatal
to real study.
Those experienced in teaching
know that even the weekend
holidays cause a break in the
child's habits Of study that makes
blue Monday" have a pertinent
meaning for both pupil and
teacher.
All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy" We know, but
the schools principle concern is
with his work. Jack can be
trusted to get enough play for
himself.
The tendency to multiply holi-
days is nOta good one and should
be checked.

SATISFACTORY WORK.

Resolved that the teachers of this
parish be encouraged to attend the
summer nOrmalS in this state to the
extent of their ability. and that salts
factory work in the same shall be TAX
en- into consideration when contracts
are to be made with teachers for the
next session"
The above resolution passed
by the School Board of West
Feliciana at its last meeting can
not be too strongly commended.
1tstrikes the keynote that will re
store harmony in a present dis
cOrdant situation. And the merit
of the resolution hinges upon the
words satisfactory work"
Our belief in summer schools
and Institutes has not been very
firm, although they might be
capable of great good as educa-
catiOnal factors. The numerous
ChautauquaS, Monteagle, and
other Well-eStablished summer
schools prove abundantly how
they can assist the earnest,
conscientious student And we
hope to see those instituted in
Louisiana become as strong in
power to help the ambitious
teacher.
The abuses have been in max.
ing attendance upon the sum
mer schools, strongly compulso-
~, with very little incentive of
reward. The consequence has
been in a majority of cases that
the attendance has been purely
perfunctory, the Indifferent or
unwilling teacher putting in the
time" without regard to his or
her principally herr improve
ment.
The West FeIiciana Board
meets these objections, requiring
satisfactory work and furnishing
incentive to the teacher to ac-
complish such work. The Board |
takes an advanced position in
this resolution, truly admirable.

THE HUSBAND TO THE RES.
CUE.

The old idea that serving il
any public capacity, untitled
woman for the home and house
keeping, has been so often dis
proved, that we thought it haC
almost, if not quite vanished
from the popular mind. But
there has been a new outbreak
in New Orleans when the Era
Club was ridiculed the other day
by come verses in the Times
Democrat, followed by criticism
of the housekeeping of suffra'
gettes by an anti.suffragette.
This latter sally touched the
Era ladies' most guarded point
of honor, for ever since Dickens
painted Mrs. Jellyby neglecting
her husband, home and children
for BOrriobOOla- African mis-.
sion, it has been the pride of
women pursuing objects outside
OF the home to show that in these
Weightier matters of the home
they are first made perfect.
But before the Era ladies could
defend themselves. 10. O. W.
Chamberlain, husband of the
president of the Era club, ap.
pears in an open letter and as
serts that he will put his home
and its perfect keeping against
any home in New Orleans, or that
of any carping anti,suffragette.
He also gives similar praise to
the housekeeping of other prom.
inent ladies of the Era Club,
Mrs. Roydan Douglas, Mrs.
David Pokorney, the Misses Cor
don.
His defense does the heart of
woman good, not merely for it's
gallantry but it's justice. When
the husbands are convinced, the
final victory is in sight.

"FOR LIFE"


The writer remembers when
quite young how sinister was the
sound of the words for life, as
a sentence OF Imprisonment fol
crime. Dark, dreadful, more
terrible than instant execution,
the long days and nights till
death comes as a release. Nc
doubt the unsophisticated among
luries have a similar feeling when
hesltating to give the death pen,
atty, they substitute life impris,
onment.
But the modern operations of
law are fast removing the hOr.
rors and the tinality of the penal

THE STANDARD OIL corr.

1t is obvious that the develop
ments at Baton Rouge this week
show that Standard Oil has
achieved a decided coup in get.
ting a legal foOthOld in Louisiana
at the beginning Of the era of the
development Of the states wealth
of resource in oil. 1t cannot be
denied that all things have been
done decently and in order. One
of it's officials has said We want
to obey the laws of Louisiana,
and if we err, it will be because
our lawyers cannot show Us the
right path"
This sounds very fair, but the
doubling will reverse the saying
of blind Isaac of old: THE voice
is Jacobs voice, but the hands
are the hands of Esau." The
Standard Oils attitude to the law
is not always so subservient, but
the real burden of the matter lies
with the people of Louisiana to
see that it keeps its present
promises.
That the Standard Oil sees
opportunity in the situation in
Louisiana is significant that it is
no pipe dream. The company
will bring a large amount of
money into the state, and by its
operations afford labor to thOus-
ands of persons, attracting de-
Sirable immigration. It may re-
suit, as the sanguine believe in
Baton Rouge's becoming a deep
water port. The Standard Oil's
operations are a direct proof that
it sees such a possibility for the
capital of Louisiana.
It is certain that the coming in
of the Standard Oil is of great
present good to all Louisiana.
That it may continue so is up to
the eternal vigilance of the peo-
pie of the state.

4 PRALSEWORTHY DECISION.

The School Board of West Fell
cisna did we'll to deny the re-
quest from headquarters that
$50 be contributed by the board
for the travelling state auditors
expenses. It's course will be
approved by school patrons and
the taxpayers generally.
The funds for the education of
the children are not so ample
that every dollar should not be
jealousy guarded, nor are the
financial affairs of the board so
intricate or the school board men
SO incompetent that expert SUI
perViSiOn is required. So much
is to be done for the children,
so little comparatively to do it
with, that every item of expense
should be carefully looked into
that it may bring the greatest
good to the greatest number.
1t may be set down as a safe
course; to keep to home rule as
closely as possible, and to spend
directly on the schools, not in
junketing for any body. We
very much doubt the moral right
of boards to defray the expense
of junkets for any purpose, so
doubtful is their utility after all,
and so dangerous the tendency
for their abuse.

Bibles Wanted.

Chaplain Johns of the State
Penitentiary passed through on
the train, Sunday afternoon,
from Angola, where he visited
the different camps and held
services in each. He is still ask.
ing for Bibles and Testaments,
but we were obliged to tell him
that the appeal published in
these columns some weeks ago
had met with absolutely no re
Spouse. Whether there are no
Bibles here, or whether they
we're too much in use to be spar.
ed, we decline to express an
opinion; but have sufficient faith
in our good people to ask them
to hunt their old Bibles and send
them to this Office for the con-
victs. A new Bible can be
bought for 35 cents. If you have
no Bible, send at least a silver
quarter to go towards buying
one. If the cOnvicts will read
the Bibles they should certainly
have them. Who will be the first
to respond to this appeal?
German newspapers are also
much wanted.

ment could lawyers defend some
of the murders that occur, q
survival as they are of the days
of savagery, when man was his
own law and held his own by his
own might? BY what other plea
could a lawyer defend such a

that none, who respects the

take such a case, which leaves
