In proportion as the stI ucture
OF a government gives force to

These words spoken by Wash
ington in his Farewell Address"
Sept. II. 1896, contain 80 much
that is still true that I want to
make them as abasis for the treat.
ment of the above theme.
If these words of Washington
are true in regard to the nation
which is CONFUSED of states, |
am sure tits equally true of the
counties which go to make up
the states. BY close study of
the quotation, we lind that Wash
ingtOn saw that the hope IF the
country depended upon education
or the schools. Therefore /
propore first to show the pres
ent conditions in my parish (La.)
from the standpoint Of the
schools. Doubtless some may
not agree with me, but if l pro.
.duce the facts concerning the
present conditions, and advance
some proposed remedies, l beg
an honest hearing.
First. let US get view of Wash.
ington parish from an educa.
tional viewpoint. | am glad to
know that it is an average parish
OF the state. The last census
gave us nineteen thousand PEG.
pie. OF this number there are
four Thousand seven hundred
white educable children. Not
more than two thirds of this
attend school SIX months
during the year. For the &c.
comodations uf these children
there are forty. nine school build
ings demanded and njnty eight
teachers emploved. OF the forty
niue school~, twenty-five of them
have but one teacher. We have
but one state approved high
school and only 4 few that teach
| the tenth and eleventh grades.
'Fhe length of term in many of
our schools are not AZ long rs
they should be-. The chief cause
Of this is tlXt the farmers think
they are G.. ppelled to have the
help of the childred. on the farm.
The most hurtful feature OF
this condition is the dormant at.
titude OF the people in certain
undeveloped districts in regard
to the recent awakening in an
educational way even in some
| of the once unretlned localities.
The need is for a uniform ad.

I shall try to offer those that can
be met and carried out by the
aid and combinations, of works
cOmmO" sense, money and brains.
The first suggestion | make is
to enlist the fathers and mothers
throughout the whole parish in
the educational work. History
tells US that the church met and
Overcame difficulties during the
middle ages, because it adopted
itself to the needs of Che people
of that time.
The same principle will hold
good in this work. The schools
must adopt themselves to the
needs of those who are not in.
terested. This can he accom-.
plished only by these who have
an enlarged vislcn of the future
aud it's needs. The products of
che more favored localities must
by common sense and life SHOW
to those with whom they come in
contact that an education is
necessary.
Another imperative need is
consolidation of the small schools
in the parish. This can be done
when seifishness in the com nun.
ity is Tut un Ter foot. The need
of a uniform term both in town
and in country is apparent. The
length of the term in small towns
can be longer than in the country
because of the different occupa.
tions of the people. Many new
towns nave sprung up in our
parish since tile building Of the
ral'road, and these towns could
we'll afford schOniS nine months
during the year. 1t the funds
were sufficient. that part of the
proposition we are not to study
j0>t here.
Things gotten by the pupi
from the .ext book while in school
are small composed tN the other
things t..,at are tn be gotten.
| One of the most essential needs
is more current literature To bt
introduced IN the schools. The
library sl,ould contain more
sensible reading. There should
be more good magazines that
contain some of the best things
for tile youth IN regard to health
, and many other things of value.
Some provision should be
made to furnish the larger
schools with this important read.

/ we look for, and, if such infOr'
nation as can be gotten from
the standard magazines could
be put III the hlnds of the boys

One of the most dmoinant
needs is an agricultural school.
Not y 81 Ie issue to be tried OUT
for the purpose of trying to
make good" but a permanent
institution. Our parish will be
the Mecca of farming when the
buzz of the saw is no longer heard.
The Young man who has studied

day. Let US awake from on,
long sleep and help make our
parish, the best.

SHIP SEIZED WITH
MUNITIONS OF
WAR ABOARD
Liner Santona, Taken in
Charge by United States
Government Under Suspicion
of Contraband Trade.
lBy Morning Journal ssec,al leased wire.I !

New Orleans, MAY 1s.--The Monies
line steamship, Santona, was seized in
the harbor here tonight by the United
States revenue cutter Davey, charged
with violation the term of President
Tafts proclamation of March II. pro-
hibiting the shipment of arms and am
munition to Mexico. The steamship,
which was cleared for Progreso. Mex
leo, had on board 10000 pounds of
rifle ammunition and ten cases of car
bines.
Agents OF the steamship company
produced copies of the consular bills
of lading showing that the war mu-
nitions aboard the Santona were con-
signed to the governor of the state of
Campeche, Mexico. The ships mani
fest filed at the custom house, did not
include these munitions.
Captain Manson of the cutter Da-
lyey placed a crew aboard the san
tona and the steamer Will be detained
pending instructions from Washing
ton.
Captain Boyd, master of the steam
er, disclainied any knowledge of the
presence of arms and ammunitions
aboard until he was under way, when
the mate informed him of the ship
ment. Captain Boyd was not taken
into custody.
Mr.. Nina, local agent of the Monies
line, called at the marshal's office
and produced papers purporting to
srow that the shipment had been
open and above board" and stated
that Or. Ornealas, consul general of
Mexico at this port had signed the
invoice on which the goods are plain
" described. The shipment was made
by f. Frei1e, a local brok sr.

General Huerta, the federal com

they are ready for any advance the

Demands for Seats in National
Convention Greater Than
Ever Before Known Root
Not Asked to Preside.

tBy Morning journal Special Leased Wire. ]
Chicago, May 1S.--The mem bers
of the subcommittee on arrange
ments for the republican national
convention adjourned here tonight
without naming a temporary chair
man for the convention. After ad-
journment. Secretary Hayward an
nounced that the committee had de-
cided to leave the selection of n
temporary chairman to Harry S.
New, chairman of the sub-commit-
tee.
Mr.. New declared he would not
name the temporary chairman with
in the next twenty-four hours, and
said the selection might not take
place for several days .He denied
reports that the action of the commit
tee was caused by refusal of United
States Senator Elihu Root, of New
York. to accept the place.
The temporary chairmanship was
not offered to any one and, there
fore, was not declined by any one,
said Mr.. New. II cannot discuss the
committees reason for this action to-
night. The matter was simply agreed
upon by those ia attendance at the
meeting"
Other members of the sub-com-

ton and all queries were referred to
Mr.. New.
The postponement of the selection
of a temporary chairman came as a
surprise. as earlier In the day MEM
bers of the subcommittee had let
it be known they. expected to name
the temporary chairman before the
committee adjourned.
A mum Der of possible reasons for
delay in the chairmanship matter
were advanced by Interested poll
ticians. Roosevelt leaders declared
the postponement indicated they had
won in their contention that the
temporary chairman should not be
selected until the result of the Ohio
primaries on Tuesday next became
known.
Several matters were discussed by
the committee. The question of
basis for the apportionment of seats
in the convention was discussed.
The demand for seats in the con-
vention exceeds similar demands in

President Taft

made untruthful statements about
him. He declared the presidents ac-
tion in the Ballinger case was such
that had he taken similar course as
president Of "A bank, he would have
been IN imminent danger OF having
the matter laid before the district at
torney."
He attacked Mr.. Taft for aIluding to
the fact that Dan r. Hanna. of Cleve-
land. son OF the late Senator Mark
Hanna, was supporting him and that
Hanna had been indicted on the
charge Of rebating.
one by one he took up points upon
which President Taft has assailed him
and as he brought his speech to an
end. he said
