Special Election.

Formal steps will probably be taken
at n meeting tomorrow night of the
Harrison Beard of Education for a spc-
cial election IN the town to learn
whether the citizens ara opposed 10 the
construction OF a new school. The
board, several months ago, held a spe-
cial election on the new school PROPOSE
ton. n it was turned down by an
overwhelming majority.
The members Of the Education Board
and the principals of the schools have
since been deyislng ways and means TO
properly caro- for the 1900 pupils. Sew
eral plans we're given a trial, but the
overcrowued conditions In ZONE of the
classe were not benefited to II ex-
tent. Halliday sessions were declared
in several classes and parents began to
object, declaring that their children
were losing time.
The board then decided to combine
some Of the grades. and even this
afforded little or no relief. The Harri-
son Common Council was next asked
for permission to use the Council cham.

Professor vaughn's viscera. Coroner
Wilson win read the chemists letter tc
the Jury, stating that poison was found
in the stomach and liver of Professo,
Vaughn.
II am confident 1t will be shown
that Professor Vaughn died from nat
ural Causes DR.. Hull said after his
arrest. II was well acquainted with
him and with his WIfe's family, and
have treated oil of them at times. and
It is my opinion that Professor Vaughn
was a sufferer from Bright's disease.
Full acquaintance with the facts Of
! his death may chow that it was due
TO uraemic poisoning from Bright's
disease. and this would, Of course, ex-
plain his commissions. l was not pres
ent when he died and had not seen him
for some time before that. and only
offer this as a possible explanation.
Whatever the cause of his death,
I have nothing to fear, as l am in
nocent of II. I could have had no mo-
tive in the matter, AND I assuredly did
not furnish any poison in any form to
any person who could have adminls-
tered it to him.
DIR. Hull denied that he had visited
Quincy with the other susnect. whose
name vas frequently mentioned during
the interview, but who has not beer

Educational Matters

BATON ROUGE.--State Superintendent OF Ed
ucation Harris has returned from visit to
Eunice, in st. Landry parish, where he found
the school conditions highly gratifying. Super
intendent Harris leaves here for Terre0onne
parish where he has been called in the interest
OF the schools OF that parish.
State Institute Conductor Alleman has re-
turned from his vacation trip and has resumed
the affairs of his office. State High school
Inspector Favrot is also in his office giving
attention to the many demands made for the
admission Of schools in the state to be approved
high schools under existing school laws.
The demand for the approval OF SCHOOLS IN
growing steadily and the demand at this time
Is greater than before. The people OF the
parishes are loud in their demand for the nigh
er courses of study, and willing to mako any
and all improvements required to cause the ad-
mission OF their schools into the list OF approved
high schools.
Inspector Favrot reports that in many in
stances he finds that the room available in the
schools applied for is the principal objection to
the enlargement of the course which demands
that a laboratory be installed and similar de-
mAnds for additional room. In several OF the
parishes which he visited these engagements OF
the school facilities were taken up at once, so
anxious are the people for the benefits Of the
high school approval
Never in the history of the schols OF the
state has there been great demand for
the elevation OF elementary schools to the grade
of improved high schools, showing there IL a
demand for the higher courses taught by the
latter class of schools. says Inspector FaVrot.
