TEACHERS PAPERS TO Be Rf-GRADD.

A special from Baton Eouge to
the Daily States, says: To meet
the complaint that has come from
the teachers all over Louisiana who
failed to pass the recent State ex-
animation, the Department OF Edu-
cation and the State Examining
Committee are having the papers
regarded, with the first grade GER
tifcate subjects eliminated from con-
sideration, in the hope Of finding
that the applicant can secure SUI
ficient marks to get a second or third
grade certificate. A large per cent
of the teachers who stoodthe exam
nation failed. In some parishes
only one passed; in some none
made the required average to secure
a certificate. +"
We are very glad that the De-
partment of Education has taken
this action, which is eminently right.
The fact is that the examinations
we're entirely too rigid and many
young teachers failed who were per.
fectly competent to teach in the
grades of schools for which they were
applicants.

WEATHER AND CROPS.

The weather for the past week
has continued very unfavorable for
the harvesting of all crops, the par
ish being visited daily by heavy
showers. AS consequence, no cot
ton was picked and no farm work
could be done. We do not remem-
Der a year when 80 little cotton has
been picked at this date. Complaints
of rotting bolls as the result OF the
rains continue to come in and cot
ton is reported to be sprouting in
the hollis. Fears are expressed as to
the quality of the planting seed to
be saved for next year, on account
of the conditions above mentioned
On Friday the weather cleared
off for the first time in two weeks
and it is to be hoped that we may
have good weather in the future.
The roads are in bad condition as
the result of the rains and automo-
biles are relegated to the garages.
Seven bales of cotton, only, were
received at the compress this week
and sold for IL ga cents which is a
good price considering that mid
ding on the day of sale was only
quoted at 13 cents. This cotton was
short staple but was picked before
the rains and of high grade.

DEATH OF MRS. STANLEY.

Rarely, if ever, have these columns
chronicled a sadder incident than the
death of Mrs. E. NJ. Stanley, wife of our
local telephone manager, which took
place on Friday night, after brief illness,
at the age of SO years.
On Thursday an infant was born to
the young mother who has passed away
and on Friday night she died, the babe
surviving her. The mere cold statement
of these facts carries with it an element
of tragedy and pathos which no words
can intensity, and the warm heart of this
community has gone out in deep sympa-
thy with the young husband and the two
little ones, the latter of whom are, prov
identialIy to young to know their loss.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley came to live
among us some three years ago and have
acquired in that time wide circle Of
friends who in the hour OF grief join with
the young husband in mourning his help
meet and regard with tender solicitude
the babes who are never to know a moth.

The remains of the deceased lady were
taken on the south-bound train on Satur-
day morning to Amite county, Miss,
where they will be inferred in the family
graveyard.

THE EXAMINATION or TEACHERS.
lFrom the Point cOupee Banner

1t is time for the press of the State
to awake to the fact that due to
a foolishly rigid examination Of
teachers held throughout the State
last month, quite a number of schools
in each parish will have to remain
closed. Never in the history of
the State has such a condition
for such a cause existed, and
it is manifest that something is
wrong somewhere. The Banner has
always maintained, and quite a
number OF our contemporaries agree
with US that examination is not a
test of a teachers efficiency, for were
this a fact, We are sure that a great

salaries and holding big jobs would
long ere this have been consigned
TO the Junk" pile.
In Arcadia parish, 20 teachers
stood the examination, and two
were successful. 1t is possible that
Mr.. Commit, who presides over the
educational guillotine, as the chief
directing head, contemplates or ex-
poets every teacher to be an animated
encyclopaedia? Where is thetrouble?
Root it out. 1t is said that lot Of
Baton Rouge boys and girls made
a lot Of money" last month going
over teachers papers and severing
the majority Of them from positions
which for years they have filled with
great credit to themselves and emf
nent satisfaction to patrons.
We have our opinion relative to
the cause. The State of Louisiana
through its Normal school is build
ing up one of the most powerful ed
ucational trusts possible. A normal
graduate, no matter how competent
or incompetent, is exempt from
examination as long as he or she
file his or her certificate with
the Department of Education, and
at stated periods depositing five
dollars in the depleted Golfers of the

SYNDICATE MAY
 MANAGE WILLARD
Chicago Sports Want to Take Charge of White Hopes Financial
 Affairs

While big Jess willard is very anxious to push his claims for a, fight with Luther McCarty to settle a little matter of the white heavyweight cham pionship, he will probably have to set tie first whether he is going to sign with one of the several managers who are seeking to handle his affairs. Will Hard's personal interests are some managers are after him with alluring offers if he will only sign a contract allowing one of them to share in his fortunes that he does not know which way to turn. But Willard and his would-be managers all agree that a. match with McCarty is the proper caper.
 Out of Chicago emanates a rumor that a syndicate of Chicago sporting men has offered Charlie Cutler who has been looking after the giants in terests, the sum of $1O,OO0 for the right to appoint a guide of their own chooS- ing. They promise to use their inf1u- ence and the necessary. financial back ing to any aount for the purpose of forcing the match on McCarty.
 Meanwhile Cutler is looking askance at the wild rush to snatch Willard from his clutches now that the Ianky boxers prospects look so bright AL though Cutler has no iron bound con tract he declares he has the best right to manage Willard and has mo inten- ton of giving up his claims.
 According to Cutters story he ad- vanced Willard money to carry him along over the period when the latter was unknown and lucrative matcehS were not forthcoming. He also looked after the big hopes training opera and when sparring partners were scarce filled in himself.
 'I am not going to be pushed aside" says Cutler, t'now that the champion ship and all that goes with it looks to be in sight When McCarty reaches New York Willard and I will be on hand to force the issue We do not ask him to drop his stage engage ments or anything unreasonable, but we will demand that he give Willard the next match when he is ready to fight again,

Just how much Sipp can prove in collaboration with District Attorney whitman has the depart ment officials guessing. Sipp was liberated yesterday, after the grand jury here refused to return an indIcC- ment on the evidence presented by the police charging the hotel keeper with an unsavory felony This charge, it is believed, in the district attorney s office, was trumped up by the police to keep Sipp in jail or to discredit his character and stultify all testirn ony he might give regarding graft conditions.
 As soon as he was liberated. Sipp placed himself in the hands of Assist ant District Attorney Goeh1 and. an nounced his determination to stick by Whitman and tell all he knows.
