Teachers SALARIES.

The Clarion congratulates the
members of the Parish School
Board for having rescinded the
motion reducing the salaries OF
the school teachers in St. Lam
dry. BY their resentment of
cutting of the wages of
the teache rs 10 per
cent the members of the Board
have done an honor to their par
ish, as well as to themselves, as
it is the cry all over the nation to
raise the salaries, instead of re-
ducing them. st. Landry does
not pay too much for her schools
and the plan proposed for rails
ing sufficient funds to run the
schools the necessary nine
months. by the 10 per cent re-
duction of the salaries of the
teachers in ST. Landry would
have brought very little money
into the treasury, whilst it would
have brought numberless severe
criticisms upon the School Board
members.
Those who voted for the mo-
ton did so conscientiously and
in duty bound to vote that way,
as they felt that their people
wanted the reduction.
The others were in the MAORI
ty and consequently to the credit
Of the School Board st. Landry
will pay the same wages as she
did last year.
1t stands to reason that if this
parish were to reduce the sala-
yriesof her teachers that the best
teachers would all flock into 9TH
er parishes, where they can Sc
cure better pay, and therefore
St. Landry would be left with
the scum and, would be very
little better off in this age of
progressiveness, as far as edu-
eating her sons and daughters is
concerned, than in the primitive
days. when the majority of the
white population could neither
read por write.

DOG ORDINANCE
WAS ENACTED
BY COUNCIL
VOTE FOR IT UNANIMOUS
Considerable Discussion Was
Aroused

No dogs on the streets of Americue
when the new ordinance against dogs
goes into effect-that is the substance
of the dog ordinance passed last nigh;
by the city council.
When this ordinance came up last
night for final consideration, it arous-
ed vigorous discussion among the
members of council and citizens who
were present to express their views
on the matter. The gist of the oppo-
sition to the ordinance came from s
number of the sportsmen of the city
who placed a petition before council
asking that a less drastic ordinance
be passed.
When the matter came up before
council for a vote not a single vote
was registered against the ordinance
Several members of the board of al
dermen, including Aldermen Allen
Bolton, Oliver and Bell, express ed
themselves. in brief speeches as hear
tiy favoring the ordinance as drafted
citing the danger of rabies and other
objections against the presence Of
dogs on the streets.

TWO EXTRA
POLICEMEN
FUR FORCE
VOTED BY COUNCILS ACTION
One IS be Mounted on Mo.
tOrCyCIe

Recognizing the imperative need of
extra men on the local police force the
mepals9fs of council last night voted
favorably on the addition of two pc
licemen to the force, one of these men
to be mounted on a motorcycle.
The action of council on this matter
was precipitated by the report of the
police commissioners. This report was
made by Mr.. Carroll ]. Clark, who out,
lined the inadequacy of the present
force, especially as regards the patroll-
ing of the residence section at night.
Mr.. Clark showed that with only five
men on the force there are only two
men on duty at night who are re-
quired for the policing of the business
section. The residence section is left
practically without police protection.
said Mr. Clark.
1t was pointed out that the securing
of a motor cycle would greatly in,
crease the effectiveness of the force,
especially in the matter of spotting
speeders, and in covering the residence
section properly at night. When the
matter was brought up for vote, the
members of council were unanimous
in favor of it.
