THE BURREN or NEW SCHOOL
BOOKS.

The statement by Supt. Hen
don of West Feliciana that the
need of text books will keep
some children out of school, this
session, could probably be echoed
by every parish superintendent
in the state. The fact brings
with it reprOach to the State
Board of Education, that so need.
lessly and thOughtlessly ordered
such numerous changes in the
textbooks in the face of the
present agricultural crisis. For
while it is true that new books
are needed at the beginning OF
each session by children ad-
yancing to a higher grade, yet
when there has not been an en-
tire change in the text books,
secondhand ones can be pro-
cured at a moderate cost by
those who feel it necessary to
get books as cheaply as possible,
1t is gravely urged, even by an
authority usually so we'll in
formed as the N. O. Daily States
that this expense is greatly ex
aggerated and that by the sys

can provide themselves withneW
books at almost half cost. Never

FOOTBALL NOT NECESSARY
TO NORMAL TRAINING.

President J. B. Aswell of the
State Normal School has seen mt
to overlook a much more severe
criticism by a North Louisiana
paper, of the employment of a
football coach at his school, tOI
notice one made by The TRUE
DEMOCRAT. The implied cOmpll-
ment removes the sting from his
sarcastic use of the term, in
formed and progressive" as ap'
piled to this paper.
The truth is that The TRUE
DEMOCRAT is so well-infOrmed as
to consider that technical schools
should keep rigidly to the pur-
poses for which they were de-
signed, particularly when sup
ported at public expense. The
definition of a Normal School, as
given by so good an authority as
the Century Dictionary, is: "A
school in which teachers are in
structed in the principles of their
profession and trained in practice
of it," This definition is com,
monty understood, and where
scientific football has anything
in common with pedagogy can
only be seen by those who follow
fashions in colleges as women &c
in dress, thereby removing those
distinguishing characteristics o
a school, which give it not only
individuality and peculiar effect
ivenesS, but it's actual r0tsOi
Getre.
THE TRUE DEMOCRAT is pro
gressive- 1t recognizes that
sound body is as important as
sound mind. and that the laWSsO
health andhygiene demand physi
cal exercise. But unlike Dr.. AS
well THE TRUE DEMOCRAT doe
not confound simple athletic
with sport, which requires ez
pensive professors" for instrut
ton. The State Normal is
school provided by the State as
teachers training college, and
football coach is an unnecessary
expense, and the brutal game il
self as inappropriate there as

BURNING COTTON STALKS.

This question, agitated per-
by the government bu'
reaus, and the presS-which al
ways lends itself to matters Of
public moment and utility has
eliminated in this section at least
by mass meetings in both East
and West Feliciana. The one at
Clinton on Tuesday was we'll at
tended and much interest was
shown in the right direction.
No less was the meeting at ST..
Francisville, a large and interest
ed one. There has not been such
a crowd in town for many
months. The Incidents of the
meeting as told elsewhere show
that a realization has come to the
people that if they would raise
cotton at all they must burn the
refuse stalks and other debris.
Both meetings declared to that
effect, and yet we confess to a
feeling disappointment thatthe
meetings were notpushed totheir
ultimate influence and benefit,
inaSmuch as there were no steps
taken to secure definite pledges
from the farmers each tt
the Other-that each individually
would burn off his fields. Gener
alitieS are never so uSefulaS are
specifications. Some men vii
sign their namestO any thing, bu
the majority consider their sigma
ture binding, and if the latte
class in any numbers had public
ly pledged themselves to follow

the boil weevils, it would be bind
ing on them, and an inspiration
and example to others.

cure these public declarations

for a third arithmetic, and so on
through the entire list. There
fore if a pupil has advanced a
grade and he has no younger
brother or sister to follow in the
grade below, there is absolutely
no possible benefit to him IN the
exchange system, He must buy
new books or stay in the same
grade. The system thus puts q
premium on dullness, but IS
principally useful, as intlmated
before, in deceiving the State
Board, and in giving the latter a
specious excuse when attacked
for making wholesale changes in
the text. books.
These criticisms are not made
from any unprogressive or carp
ing spirit. If there were any
serious objection to any OF the
text. books that have been dis
carded, this paper would be thf
last to advocate their use. Blu
