Wonderful Increase in School Attend
ance.

The increase in school attendance in
the State of Louisiana is phenomenal.
The official figures for l9ll-l2 gave
119.945 as the erage attendance for
the State public schools. For 1928
the average was raised to l31, ASS, an
increase of 144S in single year. The
increase in the high schools of the
State is several times greater than in
the graded schools. For 1911-l2 the
average attendance of the high schools
of the State was 9,464, while for 1912
Ii the average was l3, 334, an increase
of al per cent.
We have not the exact figures for
Grant parish at hand, but we feel sat-
isfed that our schools will show that
they have kept well abreast in the
matter of increased attendance. This
is the all sufficient answer to the inqui-
ry as to why it takes more money to
run the schools now than it did several
years ago.

Those long-haired male "Hygenics"
and wild eyed spinster women who have
been advocating the teaching of sex

LANE TELLS OF
 WESTERN WANTS
Continued from Page D

lens presented in his department.
 "It cannot be unknown to you," the Secretary says, "that there is through out the country, more especially in the Western states-which because of their ambition are naturally impatient of obstruction-a very real fear of what is called the bureaucracy of Washington. This is said to be a sys- tenn or organized machine, the spirit of which is to oppose action or to ef- feet negative action It is visualzed as either cynical or malevolent, alto gether out of sympathy with those which l thought consonant with the advancing spirit of our time and would meet the demand of the West. There were five of these measures, one pro viding for government railroad sys- tenn in Alaska; an Alaskan coal-leas- ing bill; new reclamation act; bill providing for a new method of open ing and developing coal, phosphate, oil, and potash fields and waterpow- CT bill. All of these measures have passed the House of Representatives, and the first three also passed the who needs must come to the govern ment for some form of help, and so wound round and round with the red tape of ofticialdam as to resemble a barbed-wire entanglement which, if not absolutely impregnable, is only to be passed through after much suffer ing and toll. It is a matter of no i'm mediate concern how much basis there is for this belief. The presence of the belief makes it a real problem, and the destruction of the belief a necessity if the government itself is to remain an object of pride and its beneficent efforts understood and appreciated Secretary Lane points out the ac- complishments of the several bureaus of the Interior Department during the last year. Some of the typical and important achievements he instances follow:
 General Land Office: Reduced the delay in acting upon homestead final proofs by fifty per cent; Surveyed more than 17OOO,OOO acres of public lands at a cost of less than four cents an acre, the lowest record of cost for such work ever made.
 Geological Survey: Completed geo. logical surveys covering 12,OOO square miles, including 1SO square miles in Alaska, the total area surveyed geo | logically being as great as the cOmbin- ed area of Denmark, Switzerland and Greece; Classified 47,OOOOOO acres of public lands, an area larger than the New England States; made an annual census of mineral production through correspondence with about 90,00O min eral producers.
 Bureau of Pensions: Returned to the Treasury $765S, 572 of the amount appropriated by Congress; reduced the total of expenditures for pensions from STA, I'll, 66O in the proceeding year to $l72417546; saved to pension CTS about a million dollars formerly spent for the execution of vouchers, by abolishirg the voucher system of pay ing pensions.
