A CONCRETE INSTANCE.

The fact that ten young girls were
forced to strip for medical inspection by
a young doctor, in New York publ
school, affords a concrete instance OF
what would have followed in Louisiana
had the medical inspection, proposed az
the last Legislature, carried. The storm
of protest that arose swept the bill into
deserved obscurity. Parents felt that
they could not submit their young
daughters persons to the chance investi-
CATION of any medical man who might
be able TO secure appointment as an in
spector.
The callousness Of the average inspec-
tor is illustrated in the above mentioned
case for these physicians protested that
there was nothing improper in the cir
cumstsncesi that the girls we're IN
dressed by a woman, naively adding that
they had gauze ~ covering them as lar
as their waists. Such light apparel might
suffice for the professional man, or in
high society but to the common or gar
den variety OF parent the mere sugges-
ton is repulsive.
While it may be admitted that such
inspection may be needed, in some cases
the parent, who has no socialistic bias to
his mind, prefers to keep such matters
under the control of himself and the
family physician. n
Less iptimate inspection, as of the
eyes, eafs, nnbse and throat might b
submitted to form PARIS nappolntee
but thus far and no farther" IS tn
wise conclusion of every parept.-Sf

vention then could declare the United
allowing Russia and other countries to
dump their sugar into THIS country, COM
plete the destruction Of such parts OF the
American industry at had not been wiped
out by free trade.
PRICE WOULD ADVANCE
When that had been accomplished. the
United States could be declared conven-
ton territory, the price OF sugar would
he raised and they would dominate the
situation completely in conjunction with
Cuba and other tropical countries. The
Brazilian valorization coffee combination,
which followed the placing of coffee on
our free list and raised the price from ~
70 100 per cent to the American consumer
in few years, pales into insignificance
, in comparison with the possibilities OF
the Brussels convention in taking advan-
| tage of our situation should this nation
place sugar on the free list and destroy
our domestic supply" he said.
Another artificial device that Cuba and
| other tropical countries could adopt and
| which would be reflected in increasin
| prices to the American consumer, would
| be the imposition of an export duty
II woudl be colossal economic blunder
! for this government to permit the de-
I struction of its domestic sugar industry
and leave the American consumer entirely
to the tender mercies of to gigantic an
| powerful trusts-the Brussels conventioI
| in Europe and the sugar refining inter
ests in the United States, said Mr.. Pharr
! Summing up the disastrous effect Of
| free sugar on Louisiana and the nation
| Mr.. Pharr said that within twelve months
a quarter of a million persons in New
Orleans and Louisiana would be elthel
financially crippled or bankrupt; nearly
! three Quarters of million acres OF sugar
| lands would be thrown on the market
with a corresponding shrinkage OF values
reclamation projects would cease and tht
strong tide Of Western immigratio;
would be checked; the $30,000,000 taker
annually from the soil and distributed II
trade with the other States would vanish
causing some financial loss to nearly ev'
cry important industry in the country
there would be an annual loss of $50,
OOO,O 900 to the Treasury of the Unite
States fro = customs and loss OF sloo'
OOC 900 in the balance of trade with for
eign countries. 1t would mean the term
| ination of the reciprocity treaty witt
Cuba. and make the United States hence
forth dependent upon other nations to-
its sugar, both in times of peace and war
while it meant the perfection and per
petuation Of sugar refining monopoly
l tha sCt
of sugar, and fix its profit at whatever
limitations,
1.-THE adoption of free trade as a gov
eminent policy" he said, "weuid be
clossal economic blunder; its direct ant
immediate effect would be the enact
ment of an industrial tragedy in Louisi
ana, in many parts of the West and II
our insular possessions"

IS EXPERIENCE OF NO
VALUE?

Louisiana has been fortunate III
the number of fine young colleH'-
bred men who have taken up tue
nrofession of teaching III preI'-
renee to other more lucrative ,ro-
fessions. But along with that tact
is the other fact that other states
are drawing constantly upon our
supply of schoolmen and aPl"ec-
iatino them more than we seem "a
do. are paving them higher sa'-
aries and consequently getting
them.
One of the reasons why LoulSi-
ana has made such marked al
vaucement along educational lines
is found in the number and quail
itv of the young men who, having
the opportunity and the equip
ment to enter the other probes
sions, have put aside the tempta-
ton to do so and have dedicated
their talents to school work. They
can afford few years, perhaps,
TO give their services for the small
compensation paid by the school
boards, but the teacher, like the
doctor. the lawyer or the minister,
grows more capable as he galns
experience and his services be
come more valuable. Our boards
have ignored this plain principle
of development, as a result o,
which some of our best teachers
become discouraged and accept
better offers rendered them else
where.
1t has been reported that sew
eral of our most capable superin-
tendents and principals OF cltT
schools have received more tempt
ing offers from other States, with
every probability of the offers be-
ing accepted by some Of those to
whom they were made. This POI
icy is a short sighted one and I'M
less it shall be reversed the eff
ciencv of our public school work
will suffer materially. A schooi
principal or teacher can not just
I ~ be desired to receive the same
salary when he is thirty five years
old and the head of family, per
haps, that he was paid at the be
! ginning of his career.
In e-ery line of human en-.
deavor experience is an asset OF
recognized value many ease,
its value is incalculable. There
fore, in our school work the rule
should be established that tn,
teacher or principal whose exper
fence has added nothing to his
, usefulness should be dropped
from the rolls, while he who al
the end of the years toll bring,
back with him Increased efficien
cy. enlarged vision and mental an,
spiritual faculties alert and full
orbed, ought TO be compensated il
proportion to the increased valre,
| he offers,

NEW HOSTING DEVISE.

An ingenious device destined to be-
come a factor in the economical hand
LING of sugar cane, is derrick now be-
inc constructed by the New Iberia
Foundry & Machine Shops, under the di-
rections of its creator, Mr.. Emile lauzin
of Loreauville. Several seasons devoted
70 work around cane derricks convinced
Mr.. Tauzin that improvement IN the
method of handling cane was a necessity
and suggested to him the invention whicn
will, not only facilitate the handing o.
our great staple, but permit 1t to be Done
with more dispatch and at less cost than
a, present while the very simplicity
and cbeapness of construction Will rec
ommend the derrick and insure It's sue
cess. Operated either by horse power OF
| bv a small gasoline engine or eiecuic
| motor. one man can easily perform the
| entire task of unloading the carts, weigh
inc the cane and placing it in cars n
system of cog wheels are so arranged
that by the movement OF lever, 'ne
| operator lifts the cane, which while sus-
| nended in mid air, is accurately weigheo
hv an automatic scale attached to the
derrick A second lever releases the cogs
and permits the easy swinging OF the
load on ball bearing turntable, to any
desired position third lever being used
to unfasten and release the burden. Mr.
Tauzin has received patent for his IN
vention and together with Messrs. Mo
and Anthony N. Muller, has ORGANIZED
Ia stock company for the manufacture
and sale of this wonderful piece O.
mechanism which they hope to place or
the market shortly at prices much lowe
than usual for utilities OF like nature

HEAVY RAINS.

Throughout the day last Thursday, the
lowering clouds gave promise OF ram
which was fulfilled at about O'CLOCK
with a veritable deluge and which soon
flooded the entire City. For twenty-four
hours the rain coasipued with more OF
less intensity and resulted in probably
sbe greatest precipitation Of the year
THE canal recently dug by ths Parish
and City jointly was put to severe tes!
and proved capable of caring for Ms
water of a section heretofore inusdatef
after every rain, and many were the ca
pressions of satisfaction heard from the
residents Of that locality. Main Street
however was net SO well serssd, due
perhaps to the clogging of the d,tspss
the water rose to point never oefofA
witnessed and, in some places, complete
" covered the sidewalks to the great
Inconvenience of pedestrians. Ihs jeyel
of Bayou Teche was raised over tNs
feet and at this writing the Bayou stu
presents the appearance Of formidable
river. In the country section Where
some rain was needed, the farmers re-
ceived a surfeit bat have suffered ns
damage save such a. might arise on i'll"
drained lands and low places. The Par
ish roads will probably suffer the great
est injury from the rain. Many Of
these are constructed in low lands snd
offer difficulties for proper drainage, hard

AN OBJECT IN VIEW.

You seldom find a saving fam
lily paying rent.
A family paving rent has no
special incentive 10 save, but the
family that buys a home Ess a
special object to save for. They
at once realize that it is much
more important to save their mon
ey and pay for their home than
to waste it foolishly, and if they
have borrowed money from tins
Association they can pay 1t back
in easy monthly payments.
1t is all in tie plan.

If he stays at home in his study, he
doesn't mix enough with the people. If

PLAIN AND SIMPLE DRESSING AT
scH99t,

The school authorities of Lake Charles
have taken steps to restrict the cost of
costumes for the graduates of the high
school there. They are right. The CEN
ter of interest in graduating exercises
should be the intellectual and moral
quality of what is produced, and not the
size IF the parental bank account. The
dispafitiss' in TIE dress of graduates hu-
initiates the poorer members of the class
deprives them of the proper inspiration
to acquit themselves well and inclines
the well-to-do to rely upon their arti-
fetal and physical attractions for pre-
serving their self-respect. The principle
Of restriction should also extend in the
daily attire st school. Disparities in
this frequently drive the poor and the
proud from the class. In the exercise
of taste in making and fitting the daily
dress to the person, there should, Of
course, be perfect freedom. Even the
color of the goods should not be pre-
scribed, but the quality and the gar
ments should-Morgan City Outlook.
