The Opening of Our Public Schools.

VIZ are sure that all the citizens OF our par.
;sb will feel gratifed that our public schools WIN
he opened on the first Monday in October WIN
the promise of six or eight months CONTINUOUS
schooling thereafter. The schools OF PLAQUE
mines parish have advanced admirably unae'
the superintendency of Hon. Edwin {. kohn
and we are sure that the new superintendent
now chosen will do his best to take advantage
nf all that has been done with our schools tnus
far and to improve them still further.
The peculiar formation of our PARISH WIN a
roast line of a hundred miles on each sue Oh
tho river. and a narrow string OF settlements
each side mades the school problem with US
o,,;te a difficult one to handle as it should De
done. It is now being recognized by all OF tne
school authorities that the impartlng OF knoWl-
edge from the teacher to the person taught IS q
practical science within itself and one demand
ing the ~clearest possible conception OF .he
duties to be performed, the ability with wnlcn
r. nerform those duties, and at the same time
to have all of the work done in a manner tnat

much advantage as with the little folk VINO are
being instructed in such a way as TO enaDle
them to shadow out to themselves at least the
limos Of their future activities in life. Some
neon]e think that the little six and seven year
old children ought to do just as they are told,
and ought not to have individual recognltlon'
We forget perhaps that in these little ones there
is concentrated the heritage Of all the ages OF
the past and they come before US with tar more
advanced ideas than we generally think posslole.
We have in mind a little six year old who when
roo,ested to express herself in the best IAN
o,1ape that she was capable of using, quietly
retorted that she would prefer to use her own
language and let her interlocutar use ms. ms
crushing response stopped the trend OF that con
v~ersatlon until we could get our breath ana ap'
proach the subject matter in o CENTER OF
more diplomatic way.
II has been said a thousand times that tn
child is father to the man and it is as true toda!
as it was when it was first said. The children
show in their early lives their natural bent an
that bent or inclination should be encouraged
insofar as it is in accordance with our cufren
methods for acquiring education. Our teacher
are all coming now to recognize these condition
and each one is endeavoring to develop IN his Q
her W school a love of learning and an an
bition to reach the highest levels possible. "
shall hope that the current year will be one Q
the most successful in the history OF our paris
and would ask every friend of education IN tn
parish to lend hand in accomplishing this goo
work.

an absolute fact that broken
bottles, or broken dishes with a
little water in them are not only
Objectionable from a landscape
point of view, but become recep.
tacles in which mosquitoes VIII
lay their eggs and in a day or
two a full fedged crop Of mos
quitoes is developed. This can
be remedied if no water contain
ers are allowed excepting those
that are screened tight to ex-
clude the mosquito. A little
drainage, the removal OF a choke
in a ditch here and there, will
drain pools Of water away at a
comparatively small cost. Many
times there is simply a lack OF
knowledge Of a sand bar or q
dam in a ditch that is holding IN
water which if opened would
give better drainage and I'M
prove the country from the
mosquito point Of view.
One of the cheapest methods
Of frightening up things is the
use Of plenty Of whitewash. We
remember years ago gong
through the North Carolina
mountains and noting that q
summer hotel of the very crudest
character had recently been
whitewashed and the old fash
Toned fences had their share OF
white wash, and while things
were very crude, at the same
time there was a degree Of fresh
ness about the whole establish
ment that was pleasant to con
template. Now that our shell

would be very delightful If tn

white washed houses, with yard
