fact that the drought in the cattle rails

hay. The farmer with cattle on his

MEANS MUCH TO SCHOOL SYSTEM
Voting of Tax Means Half-Million
More for Public Schools.

Baton Rouse.-The 3-mill tax
which has been voted by the people
OF the state, even if the parishes do
nothing else, will give the public
schools of the state an additional
half million dollars" declared State
Superintendent Harris, who has just
returned from an educational cam.
paiSn and is highly pleased with the
adoption of the amendment requiring
the police jury to appropriate > mills
to the public schools. This half
million dollars will give employment
10 700 firSt-grade teachers, and it
will mean that $4,000 white school
children can be given nine months
school a year. A great many of the
parishes are doing more in the way of
voting special taxes, but even should
the special taxes not be voted, the
benefits to the white school children
can be easily seen. Amendment No.
8 clears up all legal objections to
floating bonds, based on special
taxes, after they have been voted by
the people for the public schools. The
bonds to be issued by the parishes or
school districts for the public schools ,
will sell at par, and, under the new
law, will find a ready market"
