The difficulty Of enforcing new laws does
not appear to be confined to the Shattuck or
the Locke laws nor to jefferson parish. The
governing school Boards and Super
intendents seem also to be trying on the pa
tience Of the Governor, and State Superin-
tendent Harris has his hands full. Several
of the parishes have appointed Superintend-
ents and teachers without certificates and
some are holding two positions, while the
School Boards have political troubles that
make them useless; but no superintendent
have been appointed who are not capable Of
filling the positions and it is probable that
they will qualify, and other troubles in the
different parishes soon be settled
