Keepins Fads Out OF The Schools,

AS the time draws near when
the countrv's schools, public and
private, will resume their work of
educating our youth, we are hear
a good deal of the ACCESSIBILITY of
teaching sex hygiene to the rising
generation. School authorities
would do we'll to go slow in yield
ing any sort of acquiesence to this
and similar fads that appear to
be carrying the so-called advanced
school of pedagogues off their feet.
The school, and particularly the
public school, is intended pri-
marily to give the children of the
masses a good knowledge of the
rudiments of an education, and
when means are available over
and above the money required to
provide every child in the state
with the facilities for acquiring a
common school education it is
eminently wise to go a step fur
ther and provide the finishing
touches. 1t is not the business of
the school, however, to replace
the influence of the home and in
calculate in the minds of children
knowledge that would be tabooed
in the home.
If the schools would keep to
their proper sphere and be con-
tent with thoroughly training the
children in the rudimentS of know
ledge, and thus prepare them for
the struggle for existence when
they reach maturity, AMI put a. lde
all dangerous and unnecessary
fads and experiments, they would
do much more efficient work and
leave less ground for criticism OF
modern pedagogy and school
methods. -Picayune.

We understand that if the Legislature
passes the act now under consideration
calling Constitutional Convention for
the purpose of dealing with the State ;:
bonded debt Of s11, 1O8, 800 due January
l, 1914, and prohibited from dealing
with the rest of the State debt and
practically all other matters of impor.
lance, Mr.. M. H. Carver of our city
will be a candidate to represent this
parish in the Convention.
The Convention being restricted, as
it is, makes the matter of no general
Importance except as to the proper
handling Of the debt with which it has
to deal
If there should be no other caHdi-
date for the place, the Executive Com
mittee could, under the law, declare
him the nominee and the Parish would
be saved the expense of primary
election.
Mr.. Carver is well informed on the
question of State finance, was mem
Der of the last Constitutional Conven-
ton, and is well qualified to represent
the Parish in this one.

A number of people who own
COWS and had private customers
we're served notices by DR.. BOWL
ing last week, prohibiting them
selling milk any more, as it Is
strictly against the State law for
any one but registered dairymcn
to do so. These dairymeH are re
quired to comply with very strict
rules and regulations as the Board
of Health insists that more d.
seases are transmitted through milk
than in any other way, and too
much attention can not be given
in the handling of 1t.
While this order may entail
some hardship upon few who
make a modest little weekly in
come and at the same time acco-
modate neighbors, it is wise one,
&c yh;I- -Tg---sss--ss----- ju1t-sr. careful
as the registered dairymen, others
again are not, and it IS too impor-
tant a matter IN which to take any
risks.
This order too will do more
than anything else towards getting
a stock law, as the majority will
find it too expensive to keep COWS
just for individual use and those
who do, certainly can afford to
keep them up. If we mistake not
DR.. Bowling made reference to a
stock law in his report and it is
about time that this matter which
has caused more comment and
! just criticism from visitors as well
as town people should be taken up
and acted upon. We doubt if
there is a town in the United
States of the size and as progress
sive as Natchitoches with it's miles
of paved streets and throughfares,
where stock is allowed to run at
large, and be not only dangerous
menance to children and grown
people and do rs much damage in
private yards. besides keep the
streets for the mostpart in dis
gushing condition. A goose or
dinance that has proven a hard.
ship for practically only the COL
ored people is strictly enforced.
but there Is no law for stock
which is infinitely a greater nuis-
ance and can do fifty times more
damage.

The wonderful double meteor that
flashed across the horizon last Thurs
day night was plainly visible practi.
cally all over the Southland, and
those who saw it will always remem
Der 1t as one of the most brilliant and
unusual of celestial sights.
1t started from the horizon in a
compact ball then split in two and
travelled leisureIy upward towards the
west, with luminous trail of fire
in its wake. Old citizens who dis
tlnctly recall the great comets in the
Fifties and the falling of the Stars
that few remaining negroes still talk
about with aw" and trembling say
they we're tn ne sights compared with

A late telegram from Washing
ton contains the following inter.
esting news pertaining to Natchi.
toches
The Miss Bryan referred to is
sister of Mr.. j. T.. Bryan and
Mrs. Virginia Chaffe and has
friends here who are interested in
Der welfare.
Through the State Department
word has been received that MISS
Mary Bryan. formerly of Natchi-
toches, is safe in Mexico. She is
residing about forty miles from
Mexico CITY, has been unmolested,
and probably will not return to
this country.
Relatives in Louisiana became
alarmed when letters to Miss
Bryan renamed unanswered.
Nothing had been heard from her
since last May. 1t is thought
that letters containing checks adj
dressed to her were destroyed by
rebels. Representative AsweIl ap-
pealed to the State Department
with the result that she was
promptly located by the United
States consul at Mexico City.
She expressed surprise that there
should be uneasiness about her,
although she thought it strange
that she had heard nothing from
relatives and friends at home.
Representative Aswell also will
push his bill to give a public
building to Winfield at a cost of
$50, 200, this measure now pend
ing before the Public Buildings
Committee.
He has presented a bill in tie
House asking for survey of
Cane river, with view to its i'm
provement by the Federal govern
ment.

A creole dinner decided Kansas
farmers that Louisiana was the
Mecca they were looking for,
proving again the old saying that
the way to a mans heart is
through his stomach. This time
honored receipt was tried on a
number of farmers from the
drought stricken regions of the
North and West who were looking
for a location and just as soon as
the delectable feast of Louisiana
specalities was over, they hunted
the land company manager, and
announced that if they could get
grub" like that they would stay
and sign contracts. The food
touched their stomachs, then went
to their hearts thereby caused a
liberal loosening of purstring.
