Louisiana Needs More Teachers.

At no time has there been such a
scarcity of qualified public school teach
ers as there is at present. AT the ex-
animation held last August, large
majority of applicants for certificates
failed, leaving many of our public
schools without teachers. Several
causes may be cited for these failures.
The examinations may have been more
rigid tnan usual, and the papers were
possibly graded more rigidly than was
the case in former years. But the
main reason, no doubt, lies in the fact
too many of those who took the exami-
nation had failed to pursue proper
courses in the theory and art of teach
ing. A six weeks summer normal
course in that subject does not give the
student enough foundation to enable
him to pass satisfactory examination.
To make a success of teaching, pro-
fessionally and financially, the teacher
should be thoroughly qualified; and in
order that he may be properly trained,
Louisiana maintains the State Normal
School at Natchitoches. The course
covers two sessions of nine months be-
yond the high school and comprises
thorough professional training. The
total necessary expenses per quarter
of three months, including board, lauD.
dry, fees, books, fuel, light, heat, and
services are only sos, or about SIS pei
month, and diploma from the State
Normal school exempts the holder from
teachers examinations. The cataloe
of the Normal School may be had by
addressing the institution.

Avoid sedative Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly to
tho occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines
that contain iodine, morphine. heroin
and otheI sedatives when you have a
cough or cold. An expectorant like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what
is needed. That cleans out the culture
beds or breeding places for the germs
of pneumonia and other germ diseases.
That is why pneumonia never results
from cold when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is used. 1t has world wide
reputation for its cures. 1t contains
no morphine or other sedative. Fol-
sale by all dealers. ADV.

Bad Mail Service.

In a letter addressed to the
New Orleans Times-Democrat,
Mr.. Abe Rubin, of Alexandra,
writes complaining of the bad
mail service on the L. r. & N.
railroad between New Orleans,
Alexandria and Shreveport. He
says in part:
Now to the point: That road
has only one through train, leav-
ing New Orleans at 6:10 p. M,
and arriving in Shreveport at
800 a. M, going through Baton
Rouge, Alexandria, Colfax.
Montgomery, Campti- and Cou-
shatta. The people on the Red
river living between Alexandria
and Shreveport, distance of 125
miles, and a thickly populated
section, with all the prosperous
towns along that road, have nc
direct communication with New
Orleans, for the reason that the
so-called Louisiana Railway does
not carry mail on its through
train, either going or coming.
"A letter mailed in New Or
leans for any of those points be-
tween Alexandria and Shreve,
: port is sent to Alexandria, and il
lies over there twelve hours be-
fore it is turned over to the l..
R. & N. For explanation: A
letter mailed at the New Orleans
postoffice for Campti leaves the
New Orleans Office at Z p. m. or
the Texas & Pacific. gets to AL.
exandria at $40 a. M, remains
there until 4:20 p. M, thirteen
hours, for delivery to the l.. K
& NJ, and gets to Campti at 6:4s
p. M, too late for the business
men to get any benefit from it
) If the postoffice in New Orlean:
sends that letter through Shreve
port it gets there too late fol
connection. and it is forty -eighr
hours reaching its destination.
4 This seems to beunreasonablt
kwhen the L. R. & N. runs ;
