DRAWING IN THE PUBLIC !,
SCHOOLS.

1t is pity every teacher and school
board member in Louisiana could not have
heard the lecture of Prof. Bailey at Sophie
Newcomb, April S, on 1.-The Place of Draw
ing in the Public Schools. Mr.. Bailiey's
manner is delightful, his matter most adj
mirable. 1t is difficult to imagine a more
perfect demonstration of the uses of draw
ing in stimulating and fastening the habit
of close and accurate observation, which
ought to be the main object of real edu-
cation. With this habit firmly established
any child is already well equipped for the
battle of life. i
The presentation also of the useful
ness to every young man Of capacity to
draw and understand drawings was such
as to be convincing to the most obtuse.
The lecture was closed with perora-
ton, begging the southern people to edu-
cate their boys SO that they could develop
their own artisans. architects and artists,
who would work out distinctive southern
art and architecture based upon the beau
ties of southern nature and adapted to
the conditions of southern climate and
surroundings, instead Of borrowing north
ern houses which are in no wise suitable.
1t is to be hoped all our schools will take
the suggestion to heart and have drawing
taught by competent teachers, so that the
best that is in all our children may be
disclosed and developed to the inestimable
advantage of the children themselves and
of the community at large.

Capt. Dick Meredith of the New Orleans
parish prison was quick to rush to the
verbal defense of the crooked election of
ficers of that city and to declare that the
polls in his bailiwick were all right. Then
the grand jury found a true bill against
Capt. Dick himself for having illegal pos
session of another mans registration pa
per and the other accused pleaded guilty.
thus spelling the certificate of good char
acter offered in their behalf AS will
ing witness for "the boys who kept their
hands in by stuffing the ballot boxes when
there was no opposition ticket, the parish
prison captain isn't exactly what might
be called a bowling success.

Fourteen of the indicted election officials
in New Orleans pleaded guilty of the
lesser offenses with which they were
charged. and the district attorney ac-
cepted their pleas. Doubtless these con-
fessions were offered in the hope that
only nominal penalty would be i'm
p,sed, but the public's wish that suffici-
ent punishment would be inflicted to
make future commissioners and clerks
chary of padding poll lists and classifying
returns was fulfilled yesterday morning
when Judges Baker and Chretien sentenced
twelve of the ballot box suffers to serve
eight months each in the Orleans Jail.

WOMEN ON THE SCHOOL ROAREs.

The Chief is already on record as favor
ing women on the school boards. 1t re-
joices to see that the subject is assuming
vital shape and congratulates the good
women who have taken UP the fight to
bring about contamination so much to
be desired. Keep up the good work. and
our schools will surely feel the benefit
and stimulus, to the inestimable advan-
tase of the children now growing and to
come after.
All the reasons and arguments are in
favor of putting women in this position.
None Of any substance or weight can be
advanced against it. Women are the nat
ural guardians, protectors and managers
of children. Why should they be ousted
because children are in school instead of
at home? We have an overwhelming
majority of women as teachers, but their
authority and control are very limited
and they have absolutely none over the
physical conditions under which they
themselves as we'll as the children have
to spend more than half their waking
hours. So it goes down the line. Tested
by every priori argument the answer is
in principle and reason every time in
favor of women members of every school
board.
So, too, by experience no instance has
yet been advanced in which woman
was anything but an advantage to the
schools and the school system, wherever
she has been a member of the school
board. Whenever one finds school sys-
TEN which is admitted to be a model to
be followed, there is found also not only
woman as member Of the school board,
nut also available and frequently awaited
Of as superintendent.
Let every mother with children whose
welfare she has at heart enlist in the good
cause and help it along. Our schools are
vast improvement on what they were
even short time ago, but he is no friend
of the system nor of the children who are
to make this state, who does not admit
that they still leave much, very much to
be desired.
Let the children have what is their due
and the welfare of the state is assured.
