In the United States the law of ha-
beas corpus has been inherited from
England, and has been generally made
to apply to commitments and detentions
of all kinds. Difficult questions, un-
known to English law, have arisen from
the peculiar features of the American
State system. Thus the constitution
provides that "the privilege of the writ
of hdbeas corpus shall not be suspend
ed unless when, in cases of rebellion or
invasions, the public safety may require
it," and it has been the subject of
much dispute whether the power of
suspension under this provision is vest
ed in the president or in congress. The
weight of opinion seems to lean to the
latter alternative. Again, conflicts
have arisen between the courts of indi-
vidual States and the courts Of the
Union. 1t seems that State court
has no right to issue hGbeas corpus
for the discharge of person held under
the authority of the Federal Govern
ment. On the other hand the courts of
the Union issue the writ only in those
cases in which the power is expressly
conferred on them by the constitution.

practical or satisfactory to those
for whom they are intended.
For this reason we should like to
see a general expression from
those who are to be affected by
this change, before any action
is taken toward putting it into
effect. So far as the editor of
the Chronicle is concerned, we
are decidedly of the opinion that,
if there is a waste of more than
a million dollars under the pres
ent system, it should be devoted
to an extension of agricultural
studies and household economics
in the rural schools. There is an
admitted lack of instruction along
this line all over the State, and
we are of the opinion that right
here is the place it can be met.
The railroads and the higher
educational institutions of Louis
lana are endeavoring to meet the
needs of the farmers for instruc-
ton along essential lines for their
betterment, and they hold So
called summer Institutes" for
this purpose. This may possibly
afford one-twentieth of the in
formation and instruction need
ed, but it does not reach the
masses, because scarcely one
farmer in a hundred gets any
practical benefit under this sys-
tenn. Therefore we say cut out
the useless studies that are now
taught in the rural schools, and
let that extra million dollars be
used along practical lines that
will benefit our farmers. There
are ample facilities already for
those who have the time and the
money to acquire a higher edu-
cation" We need more facili-
ties for the great masses who
have to work along lower practi-
cal lines.

The Writ of Habeas Corpus.

The attorneys for Walters, the
alleged kidnapper of Bobbie Dun
bar, have applied for a writ of
habeas corpus in his behalf,
which is to be tried July 2, with
the view of preventing the sher-
iff of st. Landry parish from
bringing the accused into the
State of Louisiana for trial. The
threat is made that the writ may
be appealed to the higher courts,
and finally reach the Supreme
Court of the United States, and
in this way the extradition of
the prisoner delayed for months,
and maybe for a year or more.
This can possibly be done, as il
seems to be mainly a matter of
money to pay the lawyers for
appealing the case from court to
court, but no practical benefit
can be hoped for from this course,
except to delay the trial, because
the courts are all governed by
leading principles that prevail in
all proceedings.
The discussion, however, be-
gets a great deal of curiosity in
the public mind as to what con-
stitutes the habeas corpus. We
give the following definition OF
the term, as stated in the Ameri-
canized Encyclopedia Britannica,
viz:
Habeas Corpus, in English law, is a
writ issued out of one of the superior
courts, commanding the body of pris-
oner to be brought before the court.
There are various forms of this writ,
according to the purposes for which il
is intended. Thus habeas corpus az
respondendum is to bring up prisoner
confined by the process of an inferior
court in order to charge him with q
fresh action in the court above. Other
forms are ad satisfdciendam twher
judgment has been had against a pris.
oner in the court below, ad taciendun
ct recipienduDs, or cum caasa Ito re-
move the proceedings into the superior
court, the defendant being under ar.
rest), adj tesfijicandum (when the pris
oner is wanted as witness), etc
These forms are now of little or no i'm
portance. The most famous form o.
the writ is the habeas corpus ad subj
ciendum the well-known remedy fol
the violation of personal liberty. 1t il

A Very Debatable Question.
Baton Rouge. June 16. 1913.

Gentlemen wish to urge
your very careful consideration
of the following question:
There is great loss of money
and energy on account of irregu-
lar attendance in the country
schools. During the fall months
many children drop out of the
schools, or do not enter, because
they are needed to assist in har-
vesting the crops; and in the
Spring thousands are taken out
of the schools to assist in plant
ing and cultivating the crops.
The greatest loss is in the spring.
Then the boys are needed to pillow,
plant, and perform the other du-
ties connected with farming. |
frequently go into a country
school in April or May and find
fewer than half of the children
in school. The teachers tell me
that the pupils have stopped to
work on the farm. This condi-
ton breaks up all classification
and results in maintaining an ex-
pensive institution for the bene-
fit of a few children.
| do not believe that the farm
ers should be urged to manage
their farm work in such way that
their children can be permitted
to attend school without inter-
ruptions for a session of nine
months. The boys should be re-
quired to assist in making and
harvesting the crops. If this
work is done under intelligent
direction the good results will be
as great as those obtained from
attendance at school. The two
institutions, the farm and the
school, should arrange their pro-
grams so as to interfere the one
with the other as little as posi-
BILE. The ideal plan would be to
keep the school open all the year,
dividing the session into three
or four terms with complete units
of work in each term. The child
could then select the two or three
terms that would interfere the
least with his home duties. The
lack of ample means makes this
--plan impracticable for the most
of the parishes.
After studying this question
for a number of years, / have ar
rived at the conviction that a
school patronized by farmers
should not be kept open for a
session of more than six or seven
months. AS the boys are need
ed most in the spring, should
think a proper session for the
country schools would be from
August 1st to March LIST. | be-
lieve that schools so operated
would be more effective, if all
the children could be in school
regularly. than schools having
sessions of nine months, but
cursed with ragged attendance.
Such a plan, of course, immedi-
ately brings up the objection that
competent teachers will not ac-
cept positions of six or seven
months. The board could wisely
meet this objection by paying
the teacher larger salary, or
by allowing the teacher an extra
months salary.
When / state that only about
one-half of the country children
enrolled in the schools really at
tend, and that this means waste
of more than million dollars in
salaries paid teachers. | am SUI e
that no further argument is nee
essary to convince you that this
