THE SCHOOL PETITION.

A. petition was circulated by Supt.
Hendon among town citizens, Thurs
day, asking the town council to
come to the assistance of the school
funds. The editor Of The True
Democrat cheerfully signed the Pc
tition both in that capacity and as
private taxpayer, being most Will
ing to aid any effort making for
the benefit of the schools Of the par
ish. The fact that The True Demo
Graf frequently has OCCasiOn-untCr-
tunateIy-to criticize the manage
ment Of the schools, does not imply
that the paper is against the schools,
or would do anything to retard their
efficiency. Our fight all along has
been, and ever will be, to secure
the fullest benefits to the children
from the schools, and any impartial
person, reviewing our course, is
forced &c admit that in every case,
this object is apparent. With us
the order of Importance is first the
good of the children, End that of the
teachers.
Our sole quarrel with the powers
that be is that they frequently do
things to reverse this order. And
while it is not pleasant to antago-
pize these officials, so long as we
feel that we are working for the
children, and that the parents reco9
nize that such is our motive, all else
is immaterial. Sights or criticisms
do not deter us from continuing as
we have begun. For example, after
securing a long list of names, Supt
Hendon finally came for our sigma
ture, and even then stipulated thai
he wished Mrs. Robinson to sign as
ldh- pave dlIuOu6h OILCl0 WSI> va
the list, who are not taxpayers to oul
knowledge. Did The True Democrat
get unified" and refuse to go on
the list? On the contrary, Mrs, Rob
inson signed as editor and also as
taxpayer, ignoring the slight, and on
ly regrets that no other way of sign
ing occurred to her at the time. Az
for the slight, that is a joke.
The high school means something
to the Two Towns and the parish
and that is an allt5ufficient reason
for action and an aegis against al
attempted humiliatiOns personally.
No one rejoices more than We de
that the town council of st. Francis
vile came to the relief Of TIT
schools, at the meeting Thursda,
night, and in due time, we shall
work for the permanency Of Sucl
help.

st. Francisville, La, March 10, 1912.
Mayor and Board of Aldermen,
Town Of st. Francisville, La.
Gentlemen:
l attach hereto the following:
Trial balance of Plant books be-
fore closing March 8, also after clos
ing and comparative statement for
the run in same months, 1910-1911.
Although the. comparative state
ment shows a loss of $208.56 we will
have to take into consideration that
we have made repairs that are of
permanent nature, such as painting
the whole Plant, ETC., and charged
same off for the total amount.
You will also note that the fuel &C.
count exceeds any previous amount,
being $274.22 more than in 191O-1911.
The packing account was Jumped
into the expense account.
I did not give the Plant account
any credit for the street lights, ETC.,
as suggested by Mr.. Lee when the
books were checked last, because we
were making extensive repairs, such
as building store room, installation
Of oil, ETC., but after all these i'm
provements are made, would sug-
gest that the City give the Plant a
warrant every month for services rem
dered, and that the Plant be charg'
ed with every item of permanent i'm
provement.
wish again to call the Mayors at,
tention to the fact that there are
great many faucets leaking and would
suggest that special Ordinance be
adopted empowering the Mayor to
disconnect the water from any ser
vice within days after notice has
been given to repair leaks. I came
across a leak on March 5th that was
\ running fully an inch stream, which
is an awful strain on the tank.
In conclusion, I will say that my
books are ready for the Auditing
Committee and / await their pleasure
! Respectfully,
i GEO. L. PLETTINGER,
