Representative Pearre Of Maryland Is
/ optimistic over the prospects OF early
passage for his bill advocating higher
paw for employees Of Government navy

The claim that navy yard employees

the greatest expertness and skill, and
that the salaries Of such Government
employees are insufficient TO support
them, especially those who have fami-
lies. under the present hiEh-food price
conditions. is thought TO have been

The debating club was organized this
week. Its first session is to be held on
November 4, when the subject, Resolved,
That the Present Political Parties Have
Outlived Their Usefulness" will be de-
bated. This subject is given because

the pupils to study the political history of
their country.
Lectures to the literary class were
resumed this week with talk upon Sam
uel johnson and his times.
In connection with the literary work of
the pupils, the school possesses a fair-sized
library of standard authors. A number
of these are set down on the pupils pro-
gram for collateral reading, and such
reading is found helpful in composition
work.

tional classroom, which was presented to

Teachers institute.

On Friday of last week. the 8th instant
the Donaldsonville branch of the Ascen-
sion Parish Teachers Association con-
vened for their first institute meeting with
a full attendance.
Supt. j. L. Rusca opened the session by
conducting short business meeting.
when the following officers were elected
for the coming school year: Prof. j. H
Dupuy, president; Martin Curtiss, vice
president; Miss Marie Hemke, secretary
Miss Jeanne Landry. treasurer.
The new officers were installed and the
following program given:
Roll call
Prayer.
Reading of teachers creed.
Song.
Education for Efficiency" Prof j.. H.
Dupuy.
place of Industries in Public Educa-
ton" Miss Nellie Craig.

lace
How to Study Miss Beulah Baker
Teaching of Rote Song. Miss Lucille
Hahn.
The Teachers Preparation Tor Daily

NJ. Curtiss.
After each talk or paper an opportunity
was given for a general discussion in
which there was an active participation
by all the teachers. The two subjects,
Education for Efficiency" and THE In
dustries in the Public Schools, called
forth specially interesting and instructive
talks in which modern school methods
and systems were discussed from various
viewpoints. Many valuable ideas were
suggested on the introduction of manual
arts into the public school. especially into
the grammar grades so that the children
might learn to use their hands as well as
their brains and thus be trained for eff
fective citizenship. Undoubtedly this
study of subject which is at present re-
ceiving such widespread attention in
school circles all over the United States
was of great value to all present, as well
as being entertaining.
The spirit of interest, good-fellowship
and earnestness evinced by the teachers
present promises well for the success of
the school year 1910-1911 and well merited
the encouraging and helpful words with
which Supt j. L. Rusca closed the first
institute of the session.
