After more discussion, Alderman
Williams moved that the communica-
ton from the board Of works be re-
ceived and filed. Then he offered a
resolution which was later amended,
providing that 1.-The board of bond trus-
tees be directed to proceed with the
paving of DeVillier street"
Alderman Concannon, again on his
feet, wanted to know who would be
responsible for the cost, the damages,
if not Hatton, Storrie or the bond trus-
tees. He said that it was a serious
thing, and that people, not alone on
DeVillier street. were suffering, but on
other streets were feeling the incon.
venience of the defective sewer. e
ALL MIGHT BE DEFECTIVE.
In reply to a question, Mr.. Thornton
said that the few joints, with one Oh
more exceptions. which had been ex
amined had been found detective, but
that there were possibly hundred
which had not been examined and
which were likely to prove defective,
too. This caused Alderman Roche
blave to assert that he would vote
against the move to pave the street.
Your idea, then, Mr.. Thornton, u
questioned Alderman Bear, lis that II
would be unsafe to pave over the
sewer?"
Yes, sir, certainly; the joints which
we examined were not all in one place
Neither did l select them for exam

foreman. They were not all in one

A Southern Magazine.

Six years have passed since we ventured
to publish magazine representative of the
South and West. To-day we stand alone
in the light of a successful and progressive
literary magazine, devoted exclusively to
the interest of the Southern and Western
people. The field which we represent cam
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 get

least. Send your subscription to

Finding that Mayor Behrman could not
force him on the people of New Orleans as
Superintendent of their schools, Mr.. j. B.
Aswell says he did not want the position.
Another case of sour grapes. Truth is,
the people of that city did not want Aswell
and his political methods. The Times
Democrat objected to Behrman's interior
ence with the schools and making them
part of the "plunder of politics" "The
nomination of Aswel," it says, with the
insult it conveyed to the educators and
people of New Orleans was merely po-
litical blunder." Certainly no man is
less suited for this job than Mr.. Aswell, for
without discussing his administration of
the State Office in the way Of economy and
efficiency, he is not persona grata here,
and his attitude towards New Orleans and
its schools has been, at best, lukewarm.' -

Louisiana Lands Praised i'm Northwest.

Prof Fred H. Rankin, of Urbana, ILL.,,
superintendent of the Agricultural College
Extension of the University of Illinois,
who came to Louisiana several weeks ago
to study the corn growing possibilities Of
the State, recently, in commenting on the
result of his investigation, spoke thus
highly of our lands:
sit means the present generation will not
live to see the day when the fertility of the
Louisiana soil is exhausted. Artificial fer
tilizers will not be needed in this genera
ton
81 visited Louisiana because wanted to
be able to give my students some first-hand
information. There are many bright men
attending the University of Illinois who
will want to invest in farm lands. To in
vest in Middle and Western lands at any,
thing like a reasonable price is cut of the
question. The price of farm lands simply
profits the young man from turning his
attention to farming.
81 shall not hesitate to give my students
the advantage of what have learned about
Louisiana. It is my opinion the center of
population will shift toward the South, and
it ought to be source of qualification to
the people of New Orleans that they are
living in the very center of an agricultural
country, which by the most profligate
methods cannot be farmed to exhaustion in
this generation of the world.''
Out of the visit of Prof. Rankin and his
party the State is probably destined to reap
material benefits. No more effective ad-
vertisement could be printed of our land
resources than this statement. The author
of it came here with an open mind, abso-
lutely without personal interest and his
official influence and position will go long
way toward impressing the people of the
| Northwest with the attractiveness of the
field offered to them here.-Ne OrleaaI

Compulsory Education.

Toadying to Northern sentiment, COM
pulsory education has, for several years,
been "scheme" dear to the heart OF
former State Superintendent of Education,
who has been untiring in his efforts to
force this obnoxious measure on the people
by an act of the Legislature. He sue
ceeded in having law enacted applicable
only to New Orleans, but failed in his eff
fort to humbug the Legislature into max
ing the law general in its application.
Referring to "The New Compulsory Edu-
cation Law" the New Orleans Picayune,
in opposition to the demagogue who seeks
notoriety for self-aggrandizement, says, in
behalf of white supremacy:
'The idea that this compulsory educa-
ton law can be slurred over, and that there
will be no active demand for its strenuous
enforcement is a great error. The negroes
are going to take it up and make all they
can of it.
"Compulsory education laws in the South
are most unwise and uncalled for. In
Mississippi and South Carolina the negro
population largely preponderates over the
white. In Louisiana the negro population
is but little less than that of the whites and
in some parishes and districts the negroes
are largely in a majority. Much the same
conditions exist in the other Southern
States. White supremacy, after long
struggle, was attained by basing suffrage
on ability to read and write.
cit is the South's duty to educate its
negro population along with the white, but
it is not bound to force any of them to be-
come educated, and thereby voterc. L
seems to be little less than madness to en-.
force any scheme that will make voters O
the negroes; but this is mad age in which
we live, and there seems nothing left bu
to take the consequences.

Although there is no relation ap-
parent between the two phenomena. yet
1t is interesting to recall the fact that
among the stars certain cOlOrs ap-
pear to characterize different stages OF
change, or evolution. Red stars, ac-
cording to the testimony of the spec
troscope, differ widely in their consti-
tuition from white or yellow ones. and
1t has been thought that varying col.
ors may give clew to progressive

A QUEER UNIVERSITY.
Cairo Has the Worlds Oldest Eduea
tionaI Institution.

Cairo Has the Worlds Oldest Eduea-
tional Institution.
when we think Of Harvard or Yale,
the former dating from 1888 and the
latter from 1701, we think of them as
old universities" says writer in the
American Educational Review; but
when we pass to the other side of the
world we discover that even the oldest
American universities are in reality
very young institutions. ;.
"The oldest educational institution in
the world is the University of Ell
Ashar, Cairo, founded in the year 0SS
by the great Saladin. 1t is the central
seat of learning for the whole Mo-
hammedan world, as well as foun-
tain Of spiritual life. 1t occupies an
ancient mosque in the Arab quarter Of
Cairo, surrounded by a confusing maze
of narrow streets where the population
is made up Of representatives Of every
race that follows the prophet.
1.-THE old mosque covers several acres
and consists of series of courts sur
rounded by long cloisters with low
roofs supported by forests Of columns.
The floors of red tiles are covered daily
by a multitude of men and boys, squat
ting In semicircles around their teach
ers, who sit with their backs to the
columns lecturing in monotones.
1.-THE chancellor of the university ID
always a descendant Of the prophet
and is usually a man Of ability and
learning. He occupies apartments in
Ell Ashar and is not only the supreme
educational but the ecclesiastical head
Of the church of Egypt.
There is no organization similar to
that in modern universities. ANY rep
utable man who desires to teach car
obtain the privilege by application and
Is assigned column where he may SIT
and impart the truth as he thinks
proper. His fame or ability will at
tract more or less students and dis
ciples, who pay him fees according t.
