Scan]on Company has been per.
fecting a plan to dispose of their
cut-over lands in small tracts, in
order that the country around

Special care has been used in
making the sales to get men who
wonld develop the lands system
atically and along profitable lines.
said Mr.. McNie. in commenting
on the results of the company's
efforts: I'VE feel that we have

that before long the cut-over

idle for so long, will be bloom

School Rules.

We give below q copy Of rules
and regulations adopted by the
St. Tammsny Parish School
Board for the discipline of the
teachers in graded and high
schools. We believe that our
own School Board would do well
TO pass similar rules. In our
high school here in town there
has been friction because some
Of the teachers failed to under.
stand their duties under q prin.
cipsl. The principal is what the
name implies, the head of the
school and every teacher under
. principal should thoroughly
understand this, and unless they
do. cooperation is impossible.
Tho following duties of teach
ers in graded and high schools
were adopted by the Parish
School Board. July 6. 1912:
!. Teachers shall cooperate
with the principal and each other
for the general welfare of the
school, and . lack Of cooperation
shall be deemed q neglect of duty
and shall be considered Z sufici-
ent cause for suspension or re.

2, Teachers must be in their
rooms ut least twenty minutes
before opening Of the school and

4. Each and every teacher

''Have they intimated anything in

IF the mayor had not felt that
they would follow the administra-
TONS wishes in this matter he would
not have appointed them" was the
reply.
81 was fooled once explained the
mayor, "and 1 am not pledging any

lions of these men,"
This political play between Mer-
riam and Mayor Harrison was an adj
mission that the new men stand for
what is said by the mayor to be his
policy in the school board.
Aid. Merriam's proposed change in
the rules of the council prohibiting
members soliciting positions for their
constituents with public service cor
porations, was defeated by an over
whelming vote.
"The plain purpose of aldermen in
seeking favors of utility corporations
in the shape of employment for con-
stituents is to build up their political
prestige at the expense Of the COM
munity," charged Merriam.
Several aldermen defended their
attitude in asking jobs for their con-
stituents, and declared they had not
found that the corporations paid
much attention to their pleas for
positions.
Another resolution by Merriam
prohibiting aldermen soliciting rail-
road passes was passed.
An ordinance was presented Great

MAYOR APPOINTS THREE NEW
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS
Mayor HarTison's new school
board appointments, and the. circum-
stances surrounding their confrma-
ton by the city council last night, did
not dispel the suspicion that politics
would continue to control the school
board.
The new appointees are:
John A. Metz, president of the Car
penters' District Council, to succeed
John c. Harding.
John w. Eckhart, former member
of the library board, prominent Dem
ocrat, and brother of Bernard Eek
hart, to succeed H. w. Huffman.
Joseph A. Holpuch, graduate of
the law college of the University of
Michigan and now engaged in the
contracting business, to succeed ].
B. Dibelka.
Alderman Merriam withheld his
consent to the appointments until he
was practically assured by the mayor
that the new men would support
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, deposed su-
perintendent of schools.
Though giving this assurance, the
mayor did not explain how the men
would go about putting Mrs. Young
back at the head of the schools.
1T has been intimated to Them"
said the mayor, in answer to a ques-
ton from Merriam, that it would be
very agreeable to the administration
for them to vote for the reinstate-
