have no slurs to throw at the
opposition for voting their con-
victions, but / hope, now that
they see they are in the minori-
ty, they will, like true Democrats
and Socialists, do all they can to
help give the children of Grant
the greatest possible benefits of
the tax. Some of the opponents
were afraid the funds would not
be economically used and there
fore voted against it. To them
would say, attend the meetings
of your local school boards and
give them the benefit of your
counsel and put in your protest
if you think they are about to
make a bad deal. Also attend
the meetings of the parish school
board, ask for a hearing and they
will no doubt give you the privi-
lege of showing them where they
can improve economic conditions.
This will assure you of one Of
two things, either how the mon
ey is being wasted, or that it is
not being wasted at all. Visit
your school, see how it is going,
get acquainted with your teach
ers, don't suggest in the pres
ence of the school how to teach,
but notice how it is done, then if
you see errors don't fail to show
them to the next teachers insti-
tute. This | think will be a
much more effective way to cor
rect the faults of the educational
system than to cut off the supply
of funds for the support of the
schools. Others voted against
the tax because they were afraid
of the increase of taxes. lest the
people would be taxed to death
and brought to starvation, caus-
ed by the stagnation of business
as . result. think this would
be a noble sacrifice, for the PEG.

Formation of Worlds.

There are two hypothesis in reference
to the condition of the matter of the
universe ut the moment when science
begins it's discussion of the formation
of the worlds. Both these agree that
the matter was in a nebulous condition
AS Professor Young says: This does
not assume that matter was created
In a nebulous condition. AS the egg
may be taken as the starting point fol
the life history Of the animal, so the
nebula may be taken as the starting
point for the life history of the planet
airy slstem." On one theory the nebulJ
was in the form of a heated gas; or
the other, 1t was q cloud Of cold me-
teoric dust. This latter many astron
