Shreveport this week, declares
that the curriculum in the rural
schools is fundamentally wrong;
that the system of teaching in
the rural schools is bad; that it
does not fulfill its mission; that
things are taught that should not
be taught, and that but little is
being taught that should be
taught.
Well, we'll, hurrah for Roy!
we thought THAT when he was
a boy! He isn't much bigger
than a boy now, but he is every
inch a man, and we expect to
hear of some efficient work on
his part since he has repented OF
his former errors and has reform
ed his methods in the turning out
of teachers under the old system
of the machine. =
So here, and now, we want to
repeat our inquiry: BY whom,
and when, and where, and how
is this desired reform in the 'sys-
TEN" of teaching the rural schools
of Louisiana to be put into prac-
tical effect? Talk is cheap, and
we have had coolies of it. Time
for action is at hand. Have we
a man, or a set of men, who can
measure up to the task of COM
polling the teaching of practical
things in our public schools by
law?

There are Many People OF Many Minds
Our friend R. L. Parish sends
us a communication this week,
in which he -intimates very
strongly that all of our children,
(boys as well as girls, we sup
pose), should be educated to be
lawyers and statesmen. Bob is
a good fellow, all right, and ne
has some good ideas occasionally,
but his latest literary effort is al
together a bad break. The
complaint already is that we have
too many lawyers and Bob
wants more. Gee whillikins,
man. everybody can't be a law
yer, no more than everybody car
be a doctor, a merchant, or {
preacher. We have got to have
a whole lot of farmers, stock rails
ers, dairymen, carpenters, black
smiths, printers. etc., II thu:
thing is to move on with anything
like success.

A Most Remarkable Occurrence.

. A Most Remarkable Occurrence.
A most remarkable accident
occurred a few miles north OF
Campti at the Corley Sawmill
Thursday morning on the south
bound trip of the L. R. & N. pas
senger train. Alittle child about
two years old ran suddenly in
front of the train, and was run
over before the engineer could
bring his engine to stop. The
mother and some women and
children a short distance away
saw the accident and ran scream
ing to the train. The little fell
low was pulled from under the
tender about midway, and was
found to to be apparently unhurt.
The excitement died down in a
few minutes, and the train pro-
ceeded, leaving the happy and
hysterical mother with the child
clasped in her arms and surround
| ed by sympathizing friends.

Plain and Simple Dressing at School.
The school authorities of Lake
Charles have taken steps to re-
strict the cost of costumes for
the graduates of the high school
there. They are right. The
center of interest in graduating
exercises should be the intellec-'
tual and moral quality of what is
produced, and not the parental
bank account. The disparities in
the dress of graduates humiliates
the poorer members of the class,
deprives them of the proper in
SEPARATION to acquit themselves
well, and inclines the well-to-do
to rely upon their artificial and
physical attractions for preserv-
ing their self-respect. The prin-
ciple of restriction should also ex-
tend in the daily attire at school.
Disparities in this frequently
drive the poor and the proud from
the class. In the exercise of
taste in making and fitting the
daily dress to the person, there
should, of course, be perfect free
dom. Even the color of the
goods should not be prescribed,
but the quality and the orna-
ments should. = Morgan City

GREAT INTEREST
IN BOSTON SPEECH
OF HOWARD ELLIOTT
Present Head of New Haven
System Faces Difficult
Problems
SHOWS TACT IN REPLY
TO INTRODUCTION
New President Shows Himself in
Sympathy With Ablest Managers
of Modern Railroad World.
Optimism of Speech

NO recent statement of the executive
head of any American railroad system
has been more carefully read and more
generally discussed by men of finance and
business in this city than was the address
Of Howard Elliott, president of the New
Haven Railroad company, before the Bos-
ton Chamber of Commerce. on Tuesday of
this week. Copies of the complete address
will be looked for with Impotence. for
the partial report of it has greatly stimu-
lated interest.
President Elliott is today very impor-
tant figure in the world of railroad af-
fairs. Perhaps upon him more than upon
any other one railroad executive is now
concentrated business and financial atten-
tion. This is not merely local feeling
confined to New York. Boston or New
England. The New Haven Railroad COM
pany is so intimately identified with trans
portation which arises in or is distributed
through the northwest, some parts of the
west and southwest and the south that
its healthful condition is a matter OF con-
sequence in those sections relatively as
great as in New England or in New York
city.
Then. too. the unquestioned friendly in
terest which those who are associated
with the Pennsylvania railroad system
take in the affairs of the New Haven
and the actual physical. alliance or union
between the New Haven company and
the Pennsylvania by means of the majes-
tic bridge which is now under construction
across the estuary which connects Long
Island sound with New York harbor,
gives national character to the present
affairs of the New Haven system. At
this time the system is personified not by
wealthy bankers who have been asso-
ciated with il and have recently been
criticised for that association-for these
late fiscal agents have withdrawn from
that association-but by President Elliott
himself.
Boston Address
His address before the Boston Chamber
of Commerce, when carefully read, re-
yeas some of the mental and tempera-
mental qualities of the man who has been
called from the presidency of the North
ern Pacific to service in New England. and
to some extent in New York state-as
president of the Ontario and Western.
which is controlled by the New Haven
probably as difficult as any railroad exec
ntive in recent years has been asked to
perform.
The address, in the first place, reveals
one characteristic of President Elliott
which gained for him confidence and es-
TEEN of the communities in the north
west. which he served when president of
the Northern Pacific. He revealed him
self in this address as a gentleman in the
best meaning of the word. A brusque,
irnperious man. intolerant of anything
like criticism. would not have made the
reply which President Elliott did to the
remarks which were delivered by the gem
tleman who introduced President Elliott

those remarks the gentleman criticised
