ENFORCE THE AUTOMOBILE LAWS

The arrsiCnment Of drunken chauffeurs

that there are now no laws to reacn

NEWS TOLD IN BRIEF.

Of Yale, celebrates his S7th birthday at
New Haven.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER rs, 1913.
Election Day, Tuesday, October 2Sth.

As our readers are generally aware, on
Tuesday, October q we have a special election
in this parish for the purpose Of electing a del
egate to the constitutional convention. AS Hon.
Simon Leopold had no opposition, he was de-
clared, under the conditions of the primary law,
by the Parish Democratic Executive Committee
asthe nominee of the democratic party. We
learn of no other parties in the field, but We
should not let this election go by default, of or
own or Of anyone else. Mr.. Leopold has been
a faithful servant of the Parish Of Plaquemines
in the Louisiana Legislature now for more than
thirteen years and has not only endeared him
self to the people of our WI parish, but has be-
come very favorably known throughout the en-
tire state. He will have large influence in the
constitutional convention and we should give
him as large a vote as We can conveniently get
out in this parish. We are too apt at times to
have undue confidence in the situation and to
neglect our political duties. This election is
held in accordance with the law under the proc
lamation of the governor and every good citizen
should come up and cast his vote. We earnest
ly hope that a large vote will be cast.

st. Bernard Schools.

ST. Parish set the pace for most Of the par
ishes in the state in the development Of the
good roads idea and set the pace especially for
us in the parish of P1aquemines, where we are
now completing the shell road in our first dis
trict from the St. Bernard line down to our
court house. Travelling over the road we have
had occasion to notice the fine school building
at Mereaux Station in St. Bernard and recently
having Col. Glen Story, superintendent of the
St. Bernard schools as a fellow passenger, we
asked him the occasion Of the building of a fine
extension IN the rear of that school. His an
sWer was that it was for the organization of q
domestic science department to the school and
for which he seemed to anticipate great sue
cess.
At one time it seemed rather absurd to us to
teach domestic science when we knew that there
was no bread on earth as good as mother
made;" there were no pies to be had anywhere
as good as those grand old pies that mother
made" in the days of our youth, and her bus
cults were simply Incompatible. We are now
told, and are beginning to believe, that the
reason the bread and the pies and the. biscuits
Of those good old days were so astorishingly.
good was because Of the youthful appetite that
then INDUCED in them. With a digestion COM
potent, as the saying is, to digest tenpenny
nails, the judgment Of the youthful owners is
not always accurate and is frequently repudiat-
ed by them in later days.
Any way, it is certainly in the nature of
things that domestic science is a sure enough
science, and that all of the work of the do
nestle establishment is really of very serious
importance for the happiness Of those going to
make up the family. If the boys and the girls
can be taught all of the elements Of domestic
science wherein they are most concerned. It
would be an invaluable addition to the present
curriculum of our schools.
The fact Of the matter is that all the world
seems to have come to this same conviction at
one time and we learn that now active inquiries
are making for teachers who can teach domest-
ic science and they are found to be very few in
Lower coast gazette., 1913-10-25

number and command Ipelaps
double the salaries Of ordary
teachers.
We have learned by the hch-
ings Of the U. S. Departmet of
Agriculture a great deal j re-
gard to the feeding of dorstic
animals, and much of the kowl-
edge thus acquired is readI ap-
plicable to the teaching { do
nestle science in the common
schools. The how and wy for
every process in domesticook-
cry involved very abstrus ele-
ments and many a lady wi can
discourse very learnedly upon
music or literature will beinable
to tell why Irish potatoes should
be carefully boiled to the proper
point and why meats shuld be
broiled or even baked rathr than
fried. The mysteries of bread
making are among the greatest
mysteries known.
Col. Glen Story, recognizing
all this and backed up by his
school board, has started in just
the right way to develop infor-
nation along these lines among
his people and We sincerely trust
that our own superintendent, Mr..
Blanchard, who has taken up
his duties with such ea~rnestness
that he will deserve success in
every direction, will also develop
this matter Of domestic science
and perhaps make 4 beginning
in some one Of the schools in our
parish and later on we may find
