ANOTHER HOLIDAY.

The schools had another holiday
yesterday: the second within twoI
weeks, or 2 1-3 days including the
afternoon of Mardi Gras. But yes
terday was neither a legal holiday
nor a day of festival. 1t was the
same old reason, that the teachers
might get their bi-monthly drilling,
regardless of the interests Of the
children or the wishes Of a MAORI
ty Of the patrons. For no one except
mercenarily interested persons will
contend that this holiday is not a
greater detriment to the children S
progress than any possible adVan-
tage from what they learn
through the yicariOus attendance OF
their teachers at school, of which
the best teachers secretly disap-
prove. There is every assurance
as we'll that at least ninety per cent.
of the patrons object to the bi-month-
ly holiday.
But to hold the teachers together
to make a good statistical report OF
number present at institutes TO
their overload at Baton Rouge, super
intendents in certain parishes take
advantage of the law to consult their
own and the teachers convenience
rather than the educational interests
of the children.
This condition of things would
arouse parents to open and instant
rebellion, were they not hopeful that
with the incoming administration
laws will be enacted that will main
tain better balance between the
interests of the teachers and those
of the children and patrons. The lat
ter are of quite secondary impor
lance, and to this inversion is due
most school evils.
A schoolmaster of ancient Rome
boosted that he ruled the city
because he ruled the children, and
these in turn controlled their moth
ers. "The mothers control their hus
bands. The latter are masters o
Rome, hence" he concluded, 81 rule
Rome" Had he lived to-day he coult
have proved his kingdom by q more
direct method, by specific section
and article of the statutes. But thi
state of things will not always con
tinue.

Washington, Dee. s.-While peace

Derusal OF the histories, or a study OF
INC monuments in any American city
would Indicate that it takes very
rare mind to discover the heroes OF
peace,
James Mann, the minority .eadcr

He would make him full general OF
the United States army for life, not
retirable for any cause that polite

wise.
Representative Mann has just re
turned from Panama and his hero Is
Col. George w. Goethals, builder oi
the Panama canal. The Panama can
al can mean nothing to the man al
home until he has sailed through 1t,
! from ocean to ocean. To him 1t Will
te a revelation. Still, to the man who
/ goes through the canal, towed by an
electric motor, with the gates swing
ing perfectly, and the trip made with
out hitch, the canal can mean no
thing as compared with the expert
ence of the man who goes through
the great ditch now, deep and dry
to the chug of the steam shovel ane
the hum of the riveting machines.
