It Is the old question that has been asked Of the shortcomings

this generation will some day attain an equal clearness Of vision. The
issue applies to more officials than one, and to more questions than
those Of neglect Of duty and evasion Of subpoena.

SEWING OR

I'm pom the question whether the purposed economies
of the Board of Education should be achieved by
"a, reducing the instruction given in languages or that
EkEaNE given in sewing, there ought not to be any prolonged
controversy. A knowledge Of foreign languages is
& EhA an excellent accomplishment; it is often Of great
service IN a commercial ora political career; but to a girl, unless she
is very rich indeed. a knowledge of sewing is a necessity.
Over and above the advantage of skill in the art Of sewing itself,
there is further gain from the mere training Of the hand and the eye,
as a change from the almost incessant drilling Of the memory in the
ordinary process Of school lessons. We teach words too much. We
teach work too little.
Finally, since the Board is seeking public economy, why should it
begin by reducing instruction in domestic economy2 ,

CRY ATTORNEY JACK ON
NSFEPC

III his report to the Mayor on trans
fers, Mr. Jack, city attorney, says
"On the Union Depot and Paryicw
belts the fare as established by contrast
and ordinance of September 10, 1907,
duly accepted, is as follows; That five
cents shall be the fare on each belt, and
school children three cents with the priv
ilege of transfers in going to and re-
turning from school,
"On the West End line the ordinance
Of July p, 1908, extending the franchise,
fixes the rate for school children going
to and returning from school" at three
cents.
"On the Fairfield line the rate is three
cents to school children going to and
returning from schol.' as fixed by ordi-
nance adopted June II, 1910.
"The rate on the Highland Park line
is fixed by ordinance of September 20,
1904, in the following language: School
children's fares shall be I-2c, instead
of SC, when going to or returning from
school, And the rate on the Shreveport
Suburban Railway connecting at Hern-
don street with Highland Park line, is
fixed at the same rate.
"On investigation find that the Trac-
ton Company, which operates cars on
both the Highland Park line and the
Shreveport Suburban Railway, does not
give a 2 I-2c rate to school children, but
sells them tickets at the rate of SC each,
being I-2c over and above the legal
rate
