A Joke on Her Neighbor.

A queer old woman had a horse
which was the pest OF the neighbor-
hood 1t especially delighted in
grazing on certain neighbor's
lawn. This was great annoyance
to him, but, not wishing to have any
trouble, he decided to buy the old
horse. He made the woman an Of
fer of $40 for the old animal, which
she declined. About two weeks later
she came to her neighbor one day
and told him she was very sorry to
part with the horse, but al she was
in need of a little money she had de-
cided to accept his offer. The neigh
Dor said very well, and, drawing
out his purse, handed her $40. She
thanked him profusely and started
to leave when the man bethOught
himself and said: "Where shall I
send to get the horse, madam
ooh, he is dead down yonder in
the canyon" the woman calmly re-
piled and marched on out.

Jas. 3. AsWell Announces
for Governor.

Hon. James B. Aswell, who is
now at the head of the State

formerly State Superintendent
of Education, has announced his.

quently. spoken of, for the year.
as a possible candidate. His
platform, as outlined in his ad,
dress to the people, IS clear,
concise and to the point, giving
in a straightforward manner,
his ideas of government and the
reforms, as he sees the situation,
needed in our State. Taken as
a whole, the platform is without
criticism.
Mr.. Aswell, for the past ten or
twelve years, has lived very close
to the people and there is no one
who can command more personal
friends throughout the State
than he. He is a good mixer, a
magnificent speaker and has a
character beyond reproach.
That his candidacy will be we'll
received by a great conclave of
people in the State goes Without
saying. He is what may be
termed an independent demo-
crat. He is not aligned with
the present state administration
nor with the Good Government
League, although many of his
reforms are in conformity with
those Of the Good Government
League. Mr.. AswelI, we believe,
would make Louisiana splendid
Governor.

In this issue appears the an
nouncement Of Hon. A. J. Afford,
of Amitc. Tangipahoa parish, for
State Senator from this the
Nineteenth Senatorial district.
Mr.. Afford was born and raised
in St. Helena parish, near Green's
burg, where he lived until fifteen
years ago, when he moved to
Amite. He is well and favorably
known where he has lived and
has many substantial friends
throughout the district. He
will, no doubt, make a good
senator, if elected. and will give
his constituents a faithful and
conscientious representation.

our chances are very bright.
Mr.. Mayee will make a good
senator add is worthy Of our
support even putting aside the
fact that he is from our own
parish. This district is com
poeed of two judicial District,
the Twenty-ffth and Twenty
sixth, and IS entitled to two
senator's. 1t is but just and
RIGHT that one should come from
this Judicial district. Mr.. Magee
is the only candidate from this
Judicial district and should have
our united support.

charity who has nothing to give?
What is a public spirited" man
worth who can contribute nothing
but his "spirit?"
The fundamental and primary
lesson for our public schools to
teach is how to make a living,
and the school which does not
help out in this respect is not
worth while. This may not be
Of most Importance, but it is
of first Importance. The pastor
who cannot support his family
cannot preach the best sermon.
The church member who is not
able to give is not the ideal
Christian.
We will have to learn the es.
sentials of education and get
closer to "Readin', writin' and
arithmetic"
Agriculture should be taught
to boys who expect to farm, and
cooking and sewing should be
taught to the girls who will
6raIly'preside over the homes Of
these boys.
This country is engaged in
agriculture and lumb ering
Go into our public schools
and ask a boy in the sixth
grade how much lumber there is
IN a stick of timber sc inches in
diameter and 20 feet long or ask
him what makes a. peavine grow.
A great majority of the BOYS who
will handle lumber and farm
leave school before reaching the
seventh grade, and what has the
school done to equip him for the
proposition which faces him,
aside from teaching him reading
writing and a little figuring?
The doctrine to learn to do by
doing will apply as we'll to the
physician ana lawyer as it does
to the farm. You often hear a
farmer say: teach my boy arlth.
metic. grammar, spelling, etc.
at school and if he wants to farm
I will teach him at home" The
school does not try to teach boys
how to farm, but the school
should give him the underlying
principles of farming. The boy
should know the Importance of
thorough preparation of the seed
bed, the elements of plant food
and the principles of breeding.
An interest in farm life should
be given the boy and the great
possibilities of health, happiness
and prosperity should be held up
before him.
The proposition is simply this:
The public schools should be as
closely related to the life of the
people as possible without MAX
ing our education narrow,
This is the basis for an argu-
ment in favor of agriculture and
manual training in aur public
schools. j. W. BATEMAN,

Eugene P. Knight for Sheriff.

In this issue Of the Era.Leader,
Mr.. Eugene p. Knight offers him
self as a candidate for the office
of Sheriff. Mr.. Knight is a na-
tive of this parish and is we'll
known throughout it's domain
He is capable and well qualified
to fill the Office to which he
aspires and, no doubt, if the peo-
pie see fit to give him this trust
he will give them efficient and
faithful service.
The Era-leader. [volume] (Franklinton, La.) 1910-current, 1911-04-06
Why Have Schools?

Any knowledge or learning
which is not practical, directly
or Indirectly, is not. worth while.
The public schools have gotten
into such a habit of teaching
subjects and things for the sake
of knowledge that we believe a
a man, who has a large store of
facts in his mind, to be educated.
An educated man is useful and
active, and the man whose
knowledge does not bring with
it power and activity is worth
less and such a man is not, in the
true sense Of the word, educated.
A man may be educated but not
learned, and whoever can direct
his labor in such a way as to
get results is educated, though
he may not be able to reader
write. You have seen those who
called themselves educated and
vet were not self supporting.
That fellow who knows history
and literature, can quote the
scriptures like a divine, speak
German, French and English,
work Algebra and Trigonometry,
can talk inteligently on National
politics, knows all the current
news and yet is not able to earn a
living is not educated 1T all. He
has learning but not education.
We have long admonished the
Young men to become useful
factors in the community life by
being honest, charitable, public
spirited, etc, this all good. Then
we have inspired them to be good
citizens CT the State and Nation
lest our country become less
than democratic. We have elab.
Grated on No. 2 and No. 8 but
forgot or jumped over No. l.
The first temporal duty Of
every man is to support himself
and his family. How can a man be
the best type of citizen who does
not know. how to support his
family? Eow can a man practice

I take this method of an
nounclng myself as a candidate
for the Office Of Representative,

ing a candidate at this time.
1t was Dot my intention in the

Representative or any other office
at the coming election and had
repeatedly stated so several
months ago, but there are times
when, under certain conditions.
a change of mind is necessary

Supt. Higbie's Letter.

You ask if believe in consolidation
of rural schools. AS general pro-
position / most certainly do. Local
conditions. however, always have to
be taken into account. The rural
boys do not have an equal show with
the town boy and never will so long
as we continue to try to give him all
his training in one roomed cross
road school house. He does not get
enough training to fit him properly
for his farm work say nothing about
a need for broader view point that
makes it possible for him to compete
successfully with other classes of
workers. This is going to be more
important as the future opens up to us.
Let me repeat the thought. The
rural boy must have two kinds of
training. First a schooling that will
make it possible for him to do the
business of complicated farming opera
tions and understand the science of
soil fertility and the production of
crops. Second an education in class
status that will make him see what
his work means in the worlds
economy. Now it is absolutely i'm
possible to give either of these as they
should be in the present rural schools.
The township central school with added
equipment, better teachers etc., will
make this possible. Added cost you
say. Yes certainly good we'll bred
horse costs more than scrub. But
let me assert as strongly as / c IN that
every dollar rightly spent for the
farmers training means ten in return
in years to come and we are different
from the savage in that we look and
provide for the future.
