pul,I;e School Notes.

The New River branch of the Parish
Teachers Association convened in regular
monthly session at the johnson school
house at Hobart on Friday of last week,
with a large attendance of members.
Supt. D. B. Showalter of Rapides parish
was present and delivered Characters
tically interesting and instructive address,
which was greatly enjoyed and apprecla-
ted by the teachers. Supt. Showalter also
addressed the patrons Of the various
schools in that section of the parish,
speaking in behalf of the special tax
which it is proposed to levy in the eighth
| ward for the purpose of erecting new
school buildings at DutchtoWn and Oak
Grove ard repairing and improving all the
other schoolhouses in the ward. ME-.
| Showalter made good talk in favor OF
/ the tax, and his enthusiastic endorsement
of the measure and earnest appeal to the
people of the ward to rally to its support
will undoubtedly exercise potent infiu-
ence in favor of the adoption of the prop
/
osition. Talks were also made by the
principal OF the Dutchtown and Oak Grove
| Thigh schools and Parish Supt. j. T.. Rusea
A petition is being circulated among the
property owners of the community and
patrons of the schools, and when this
/ document has been numerousy signed Il

ascertaining the sense of the taxpayers witt
reference to the adoption or rejection q
the proposed special tax.

San Antonio, Tex. March 17.--Or-
ders have been received here from
Washington that General Carter's
maneuver division shall hold itself in
readiness to break camp and take
the field as II for actual warfare with
in two hours.
The order caused much comment,
| for the particular reason that IL did
not come in the general maneuvers
orders issued by General Carter to-
day, but from the seat of govern
ment.
| Such an order means a blanket, ten
| days rations, shelter tents and 200
rounds of ammunition. The order TO
be in readiness for operations In the
field, while II might be a legitimate
feature of maneuvers is not taken in
that sense.
Excepting the generals to whom
long years have taught conservatism,
every one rejected the maneuver
theory, but could not explain what
was to be expected.
One officer of prominence today
said he hoped NJ exico and the United
States would not become embroiled
1--WE could defeat Mexico and there
would he no lesson learned. The un-
thinking in congress would have an
other object to point to, TO show that
we can depend on the volunteers In
an emergency. We can, after we have
lost rs per cent of our unframed
men, teach the remaining 25 per cent
how to fight.
"A stronger lesson is needed. Japar
or Germany would serve. preferably
the former because of her geograpn-
ical situation. They are quite capable
of reducing us, with their perfect pre-
paredness. whenever ready. We have
spent ten days in turmoil gathering .
handful of men in Texas. Ultimate
ly we should triumph, but the ulti-
mate cost would be appalling. II
would be much cheaper even ir
money, let alone lives, to treble oui
force than to take such lesson, con
sidering the ensuant pension rolls
alone"

lcation where criticism Of superior'

the man who made the foregoing
statement has q reputation which ex'
tends beyond the army.

Mexico City, March 1.-THE In

Only recently General Diaz an

progress of the campaign against the
rebels has shown satisfactory results,
1t is not ,admitted that the insurrec-
ton exists in all portions of the re-
public but only in the north. chiefly
confined TO the state of Chihuahua.
The spasmodic outbreaks in other
states are consideped as no part of a
widespread insurrectionary move

At the war department, II was ex-
planned that Madero's campaign In

the first of this week the revolutionists
apparently were in control of the sit.
