Don't Believe In Institutes.

The public school children of the parish
lost a day from school, yesterday, that
their teachers might 60 to school, that is,
participate in an institute. It is unlikely
that the latter we're benefited in proportion
to the children's loss by break in their
studies. When will the people rise up in
rebellion against this expenditure Of funds
that might be used to better advantage on
the children themselves? In no other trade
or profession does the public pay both for
the instruction and the services of it's en-
ployees. Do lawyers and physicians get
free lessons in addition to their fees?
Where is there school for sheriffs and
clerks of courts? What instruction do the
poor magistrates receive? Why are not
druggists required to have practical drills
on the best way to roll pills? The bank
examiners should hold institutes to teach
easy ways of casting up accounts. All
these are as necessary, it seems to US, as
the constant drilling of teachers, who have
been examined, have certificates, and are
supposed to be capable Of teaching. If
they are not capable, it would be wise to
discharge them and get others.
But this is a part Of .the SYSTEM The
money spent for institutes, goes to the men
higher up, the conductors. If spent for
teachers, the service would show imme-
date Improvement. In one State, Califor-
mia, we believe it is, the institute has been
abolished, and with no bad results, but the
contrary. When will Louisiana follow
suit?-.St. Fr0ncisville True Democrat.

A Southern Magazine.

Six years have passed since we ventured
to publish a magazine representative of the
South and West. To-day we stand alone
in the light of successful and progressive
literary magazine, devoted exclusively to
the Interest of the Southern and Western
people. The field which we represent can
not be covered by any other publication,
that is why we stand on solid ground. We
are MISUNDERSTANDING the development OF
our Southern INDUSTRIES. We give the
people an opportunity to read of what is
being done to-day. This is brief outline
of what the Taylor Trotwood Magazins is
doing. We are satisfied that this is the
best one dollar and fifty cent magazine
published, but we are not satisfied with our
mailing list. You may get other maya
zines for less than $3.50, but you can't gel
the Taylor-Trotwood. It is worth that, al
least. Send your subscription to

THE STATE PRESS.

Mansfield Enterprise: When Governor
intimidates Legislature representative
government ceases in that State. Since
Mr.. Sanders has been Governor there has
been only one power in Louisiana, and
that has been his will.
Lake Charles American Press: Wenote
with no surprise that the Game Commls-
sion rallied nobly to the cause of the Adj
ministration. We note also that some OF
the legislators who were active in fasten-
ing the commission upon the State last
June, did the loudest bowling about it's
political activity in December.
Mansfield Enterprise: The recent adop-
ton of the Constitutional Amendment set
ting aside three mills for school purposes
will make the State Superintendent OF
Public Education the most independent,
and consequently the most powerful polit-
ical power in the State. We trust that il
will be used wisely, but the recent des-
perate struggle by the politicians of New
Orleans to control the election of the City
Superintendent, shows that they realize
the Importance of the matter, and are pre-
pared to make the most of it.
AswELL IN AND KNOCKED OUT.-Presi-
dent J. B. Aswell, the school politician
heading the State Normal at Natchitoches
came to New Orleans on Mayor Behrman'e
telegraphed request. Aswell seemed to be
the real "big man" in mind. After he
had been put out of the race by his record
Mr.. Aswell went back to Natchitoches anc
stated to various newspaper correspond
ents that he had come to New Orleans
merely to acknowledge inperson "the del.
icate compliment" of being mentioned

The constraint of commercialism, the re-
suit OF our sudden discovery and rapid
possession of the great wealth of this con-
tinent; the emphasis placed upon the law
Of secondary causes in the scientific world
and the absence from religious thought, are
all responsible in part, at least, for the
prevailing materialism which leads men to
forget God and the right.

Be a Good Citizen.
TAssumption Pioneer.l

Assumption Pioneer.]
A good citizen is one who takes an inter-
eat in the affairs of his country, State and
parish, and helps by his influence. and vote
to bring about improvements for the gen.
eral good. No man can be good citizen
who does not keep up with the public ques-
tons of the day, and who does not throw
his support on the side that he thinks is
right. There is nothing that is more de-
moralizing to the forces that are working
for progress and betterment in the affairs
of government than the fact that there are
SO many men who are absolutely indiffer-
ent at the time that they should be up and
doing, and who only awaken when it is too
late to accomplish any good.
Every man who hopes to have voice in
the important primaries to be held in 1912
must pay his poll tax this year before the
first OF January and also during the year
1911. No man should neglect to qualify
as voter when he knows that it means so
much to himself and the general good.
In New Orleans, although there are not q
great number of polls paid yet, there is an
organization that is making strong APP
peal to every man in the city to pay his
1910 poll tax before the first of January.
In the country parishes all of the newspa-
pers are urging the citizens to pay their
poll taxes and the Pioneer hopes that in
Assumption we will have more poll taxes
paid this year than ever before,
Remember, you have only q short time
in which to pay your poll tax for this year.
