CAN WE ANSWER?
B. r. New Advocate:

B. r. New Advocate:
When an editorial like the follow
ing appear in publication represent
ing the students Of our high schools,
the questions put are bound to be
rendered more difficult to answer:
In man of the current magazines
are to be found articles pronouncing
the most scathing criticisms on our
public schools. They declare that the
average high school graduate is a
most helpless creature, having a mere
smattering Of great many things
and subjects with but little definite
knowledge of any thing and no prac.
teal skill of any kind. They go on
to say that the high school student
spends u years in the public schools
costing the community about S. per
month for IL years Of nine months
each or the sum Of $40, to say moth
ing of the loss of time and expense
to parents. They say that 20 per
cent of the average life Of the indi'
vidual is spent in the public school
and yet at the end Of that period the
individual is helpless.
Well, lets analyze the situation a
little bit and see what the facts are
here with us. There is a class to be
graduated at our high school in two
and one-half months from now. Sup
pose we take an inventory Of their
stock that we may see how the crit
cism fits us. In our class there are
three young men and four young la
dies. They are all practically Is years
old, and have had full public schoo
course. They can read intelligently
but cannot compose without commit
ing some common mistake in theil
mother tongue. Some members o.
the class have studied French, bu
they cannot speak it enough to bt
understood. Other members Of thu
class have studied Latin, but there II
no use to which they can put it. Al
the members of the class can add
subtract, multiply and divide-Wha
else can they do? Let's see. They
have not learned to make anything
The boys can't use a plane or saw O.
hammer. They can't run any kind o
machinery. They do not know how
to buy or sell goods. They canno
run a newspaper or conduct a can
ming factory or run a truck garden
! What can they do?
Then what about the girls? Ca
they do any of those things thatag

REV. JNO. |. SUTTON
MAKES MISTAKE ON
CONDITION Of PRISON

In last weeks issue we reproduc-
ed from Fridays Picayune what pur-
ported to be a communication from
Rev. John L. Sutton, secretary Of
the Prison Reform League, to DR..
Oscar Bowling, president of the
State Board of Health, a part Of
which reads as follows:
"The writer, on his way home from
Monroe, stopped over at Bayou Sara
and found the parish Jail and city
Jail Tin st. Francisvillel in filthy and
insanitary condition; IN fact, their
condition is such as to be a menace
to it's inmates"
Subsequent developments prove
that Mr.. Sutton's statement is with
out an element of truth and that
his credulity has been imposed upon
tc the extent Of making him make
severe criticisms Of conditions that
do not exist.
Last Saturday morning, on the in
vitation of Chief Deputy Sheriff Fred
Converse, a representative of The
True Democrat, in company with two
representatives of the New Orleans
newspapers, went to the Jail and
made a thorough inspection. 1t was
found that Mr.. Sutton had not Wis
tied the Jail, but had received his in
formation from other than first hand.
There were no prisoners in the Jail,
nor had there been any for the ten
weeks previous to the visit. All the
walls are painted, and are scrubbed
at intervals. The floors are regular
ly treated with some sanitary prepa-
ration which Is in the nature of a
disinfectant. There is a bath tub,
not very elaborate but sufficient for
all needs, and every prisoner is
made to battle before entering a
cell. There is a wash basin and a
sanitary closet, both with running
water, and the sewerage is ample.
There Is also a stove in the cell
room, situated so as to make it inn
possible for prisoners to upset it and
set fire to the building. The ham,
mocks used by the prisoners are of
modern style, easily kept clean,
There was no trace of vermin or
offensive odors.
DR.. Bowling inspected the jail
about two years ago and had no
fault to find in the way it was kept
his only criticism being on the struc
ture itself, which is old and Of an
architectural design not used in the
more modern prisons.
i Several years ago, grand jurles
had a habit of visiting the Jail and
condemning it, but all of the condi
tons then complained Of have beer
remedied, and the last two grand jul
ries have commented favorably OF
the way the building is maintained

was really revision upward amounting

was increased were not generally the

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. 10
"kid" Kelly "a negro, confined in the
McAlester penitentiary, has written
to members of the criminal court OF
appeals, deprecaling that the court
has not passed upon his case and i'm
posed sentence. kid" evidently did
not realize when he penned the mes
sage that all the court can do is to
order him executed, since the last sen
tence imposed upon him was death By
hanging.
Kelly has been termed the legal
derelict," due to the fact that he is
wedged between the jurisdiction Of
two courts, the federal and the state
criminal court of appeals. His crime
committed prior to statehood was
killing another following a heated ar
gument over a crap game at Tisho-
mlngO. The government was WllllnS
to accept a plea of guilty to man
slaughter. but Kelly's attorney believ-
ed he could be cleared and went to
trial. THE result was the death pen
atty, which was sustained on appeal
to the federal courts. About that time
statehood came. and in the transfer
of cases from the federal to the state
docket. Kelly's case with the judG-
ment, was listed,
With few more months in prison
Kelly will have served all the Ordi-
nary manslaughter sentence, and
about the only relief for him, with
neither the federal nor the state
courts taking jurisdiction, is believed
to he through the states pardoning
power. Governor Cruce said today
that Kelly's case had not been brought |
before him.
