American Press:
The special finance committee. which
for the past eight months has had
charge of the finances of the schools OF
the four parishes of Allen. Beauregard.
Caleasieu and JEFF Davis, held what
will probably be its last meeting in the
Office of the parish superintendent this
morning. The details of the proposed
disbursement of school funds to the
boards of the various parishes were
discussed, and the figures of the parish
treasurer approved.
Considerable discussion has arisen
over the disposition of balance OF
S100, 900 in the bank to the credit OF the
Calcasieu parish schools at the end OF
the past scholastic year, the new par
ishes putting in a claim for share OF
the money. 1t was finally decided to
divide the cash among the parishes in
proportion in the scholastic population,
and allow the special taxes to revert to
the parishes in which the district is
contained which voted them.
/ Under this arrangement al the new
parish boards will start out their first
year with a balance in the bank, and
. the schools will not be crippled from
lack OF funds, In many parishes in the
state, especially the small ones, lack o.
funds had proven a serious handical
, for the school boards, and the boards o
the new parishes are fortunate in es
Gaping this trouble.
+ Present at this mornings meetin,
were: A. |. Shaw of DeRidder, repre-
f senting Beauregard parish; S. j. Ines
of Oberlin, representing Allen parish
]. M. Booze, of Roanoke, representa-
jeff Davis parish; and Leon Chayann'

The Universalist clergy and laity OF
the Metropolitan region are joining
the brethren throughout America in
rejoicing over the unusual and distin.
guished recognition accorded Chap.

sentatives. By unanimous vote it was
ordered that his morning prayers be
printed, the Congressman expressing
an earnest desire to possess them for
their own frequent use. 1t was known
of course, that Chaplain Couden was a
! Universalist, but this had no deterrent
effect on the motion, nor has it in any
way initiated against our diStin
guished brothers. usefulness and popn

year after year the love for him ha'
deepened. Men who came to Congress

as doe. their arch-hater BILLY Sunday
change their ideas and sentiments yer,
speedily when listening to such devou
prayers as fall from the lips of Chap

into contact with his pure sweet, hell
full, Christlike life. Surely a new Ga
is dawning for Uniyersalism when tn
