Prof. Charles A. Prosser, the secre.
tary of the National Association for
the Promotion of Industrial Educa
ton, was in Algiers Saturday, the
guest of his schoolmate, DR.. Z. "
Kraft.
Prof. Prosser, who was already ap

skilled mechanics in our district, sug.
gested that Algiers would be an ideal
place for the location of one of the in.
dustrial schools which are contemplat.
ed by our present school board.
During his stay in New Orleans,

leans Progressive Union, the Public
School Alliance, the Teachers Con.

WOLVERTON A HERO.

A few days ago Jacob Wolverton
one of our local policemen, saved ten,
year-old William Legnon from drown.
ing in the river at the foot of Slidell
avenue. 1t is stated that Mr.. Wolver.
ton was in that vicinity at the time
when his attention was attracted by a
crowd of men and women near the
bank. Upon reaching the place he
found that a young boy was out in the
water about so feet from shore and he
went into the water and pushed a log
to the boy, who took hold of it. 1t
was by this means that he was able to
propel the youngster to shore Mr..
Wolverton denies that there was a
swift current in the water at the time
and also stated that some of the ar
tiCles in the paper were much exag-
gerated. Mr.. Wolverton was very
modest about speaking of the affair
and stated that it was only his duty to
rescue the child.
Mr.. Wolverton has always made a
very efficient officer, having been in
the service about five years, and his
act of bravery has been commented on
by his many friends.

GRADING STREETS.

The street cleaning department, I'M
der the supervision of Ben Hintz, has
been making some wonderful progress
and taking advantage of the good
weather. Most of the earth streets
have been gone over with the big grad
ing machines and they have been CIV
en- a sufficient crown to drain thor
oughly. After this preliminary work
is done it will be much easier to keep
the streets in good order. While it
may appear that most Of the paved
streets have been neglected, and If this
a fact, it is because better work was
being done where it was most needed.
Our force on this side of the river is
not sufficiently large to keep the
streets in good repair and we must
take our medicine the same as all the
other districts.

MAYOR BEHRMAN
ALERT

Watching the Levee and High Water.
Last year when We were threatened
with an overflow and especially at the
time when the crest was passing New
Orleans, it was not an uncommon
thing to see Mayor Behrman and the
then secretary Of the Levee Board,
Peter L. Muntz, patroling the Algiers
levee after midnight. This is not gen.
orally known and we cite it only to
show that the Mayor is alert and fully
realizes the conditions which are daily
presenting themselves.
A few days ago there was a meeting
held by some of our citizens with the
Orleans Levee Board, but it was long
