PARENTS NEGLECT.
Its Effect on Children as Reported
by the State Superintendent of
Public Schools.

Baton Rouge, March 17.-There
are two and a half million decayej
teeth in the mouths of the public
school children of Louisiana.
There are 100000 children in the
public schools that have defective
eyesight; there are 100000 that have
defective hearing, 4225,000 that an.
afflicted with nose troubles, and
10000 that have disease throats.
These are the startling figures
that are given by T. II. Harris, The
State Superintendent of Education,
in letter sent to the school author
tiles of the different parishes.
The figures are based upon a re-
cent medical examination made in
the Parish of Claiborne and the
children attending the high school
of Homer by the physicians and
dentists of Homer in cooperation
with the Claiborne Parish Board.
On the averages obtained from
this examination Mr.. Harris says
that he finds 96 out of every 100
children have defectivee yes; Ga out
of every 100 could not hear perfect
ly; 25 out of every 100 were victims
of nose troubles; 80 out of every 100
had throat trouble.
Mr.. Harris says in his letter:
Il imagine we shall accept finally
the following propositions:
81. An educated mind should be
housed in sound, healthy, vigorous
body.
"2. Diseased children can not
make proper advancement in their
school work, therefore, the State
will save money by seeing that the
school children are sound and
healthy. A healthy child can finish
the school course year or two
ahead of the diseased child.
IS. Most parents will have their
children treated when attention is
called to defects. Those who VII not
should be required to do so if they
are able, and if they are not able
the public should have the treat
ment administered.
~. Public school children will
never be generally inspected fol

quires school officials to employ ex-

ELECTION CONTEST.
Mandamus Filed for Recount Of
the Vote on Proposition No. Z.

There was filed yesterday in the
clerks office a mandamus proceed
ing for recount of the votes cast
on proposition No. at the election
held on March 4.
The mandamus is directed to the
City Council as board of canvass
ers. The complainants are E. b
Herndon ST., Mrs, E. B. Rand, M
Ricks, Gordon Van Hoose, J. P. Scott,
J. A. Thigpen, J. H. Jordan and all
others who may desire to join.
The attorneys for the plaintiffs
are Judge J. C. Pugh and ]. c.
lpugh Jr.
1t is recited in the pleading for the
mandamus that on a recount of the
votes cast for proposition No. that
the City Council in the capacity as a
board of reviewers, was without
authority TO count the votes cast by
John F. Wise and the proxies voted
by him, as these ballots were altered
and changed and therefore illegal.
This same plea is applied to the
vote cast by Felix WELLER.
The complainants allege that
these votes being illegal should be
set aside, and that by having been
counted and tabulated, proposition
No. Z has been defeated by a major
ity of 30,2O9, but should the ballots
cast by John F. Wise and his proxies.
and the vote cast by Felix WELLER.
the resoult as announced will be re-
versed and proposition No. 7 will
then be shown to have carried by a
majority vote of 1856 and in assess
able value $t2,41t.
Proposition No. ] provides the re-
surfacing of portions of Jordan and
Market streets and Fairfield and
Texas avenues.
The writ is made returnable on
Monday next, March "a.
This proceeding will be watched
with interest and will be heard by
Judge T. F. Bell of the District
Court

The Traction Company and Its
Franchises,


The Traction Company, their allies
and their friends, presume on hav-
ing responded generously to the de-
man for half fare for children at
tending the public schools. AS has
been demonstrated, the Traction
Company has failed to carry into
effect their compact as inscribed in
several of their grants On the issue
of reduced rates of 21s and 3 cents
for school children. 1t is only re-
Gently that such fares can be Sc
cured on application at the COM
pany's headquarters n booklets OF
25c and $iOO value.
AS it may be of interest to the
people, the st. Louis way may be
explained briefly. In st. Louis, Mo-,
there is kept in the office of the
United Railways Company large
number of tickets which are sold in
strips of ten for 25c, but there is so
little demand for them that they are
not put in the hands of the con-
ductors, who would keep them too
long, as there is no demand for
them and would be in soiled con-
dition and unfit for sale.
The St. Louis plan is very SIM
pie. Excepting the very few per-
sons, people use the tickets sold by
the conductors two for five cents,
putting one of the tickets in the box
and retaining the other for future
use.
Since the adoption of the fare box
all money paid fares for adult tick
cts, chidlren's tickets and employees
tickets are dropped in the box on
the end of the car. The conductors
retain all transfers.
How simple is this plan. But in
Shreveport half fares are obtainable
only at the headquarters OF the
company and must be used as speci-
fed.
We do not believe the people will
endorse the Traction Company's
half fare plan.
Without the half tickets obtain
able only at the headquarters OF the
company, the child must pay cents
for a ride going to school and 5 cents
returning home.
1t is the st. Louis way which ap-
peals to the people.
And some day and at no distant
future the st. Louis way will be II

scheme of the Traction Company bt
defeated at the election on April 1

PostofIice Increased Service.

Postmaster Lea has been advised
by Congressman Watkins that he has
secured authority from the POST
master General to have an increase
of employees which has become i'm
rerative. The Shreveport office has
been and is one of the best of reve-
nue. producers and therefore should
long since have received an increase
of employees. For this increase the
citizens of Shreveport are indebted
to Congressman Watkins. Better ser
vice will be secured with an in
crease of employees and will relieve
the strain experienced frequently by
the present force which has been
inadequate to meet the demands OF
an increasing population.
