of cure; a dollar extended here
will save thousands later; crime
is not a necessity, it is the result
of neglect of preventive
measures.
The object of a laboratory IS to
take the embryo criminal or de-
fective before, not after he be-
comes crimal, in this it differs
from all other reformative
methods and institutions.
Millions are spent in p%alliation,
when hundreds would suffice to
prevent; a dollar spent in inves-
tigation Of causes will save
thousands to the taxpayers, and
this can only be accomplished by
the scientific study of the lndi-
viduals themselves: No evil
can be permanently lessened un-
less its causes be studied first"
The measure has been endors-
ed by the American Medical As
ISOLATION; by twenty-five state
medical societies; by the Inter
national congress of criminal
anthropology and by the leading
specialists Of Euprope and
America; by the American Bar
Association of American Medical
Editors; the American Medico-
Psychological Association; the
Association for the Study of In
ebriety; the American Lryngo-
logical Society; the American
Electrotherapeutic Society and
by a great many religious asso-
Citations and we sincerely hope
our legislature will see its way
clear to pass such a bill, if intro
duced and that the state will
take up this important question
that will save millions of dollars
to the taxpayers, needed for in
ternal improvements and educa-
ton.

JENKINS PROMISES TO
Be GREAT ATHLETE
Eunice Boy is Once
More To The Front At
N. @. Meet.

Dana Jenkins the fleet footed
school boy of Eunice bids fair to
become one of the greatest ath-
letes in the south. In the inter
collegiate contest held in New
Orleans last week jenkins copied
II points by his lonely. Eunice
was virtually a one man team,
two track athlete of the st. Ian
dry town team being unable to
participate, one being over the
age of q and the other being i'll.
Jenkins was therefore sent out to
represent Eunice. Had Willie
Reed. the crack hurdlerand Bur-
leigh. all around athlete been able
to participate there is no doubt
that the Eunice High School
would have returned once more
with the laurels.
Jenkins was pronounced at the
Tulane intercollegiate meet one
of the most phenomenal athletes
ever seen on the tracks for many
years in this state. He is only 9
Junior and it is the opinion OF
many who knows that jenkins
will prove, with good coaching,
one of the greatest athletes II
the entire south.
This st. Landry youth has
proved himself on several occa.
sions a splendid track man, start
ng this year with coping the
Parish high school title for the
best athlete, going to Lafayette
to grab the Southwest Louisiana
title. and not satisfied with thai
he went toBatonRouge and show
ed his speed at the state higf
school rally.
At New Orleans last week h
displayed his real proves in thu
presence of athletes from every
important school in the state.

In Memory of A. Dupuy

There was an angel band in heaven
That vas not quite complete;
So God took our darling father
To fill the vacant seat.
Auguste Dupuy was born in Paris,
France, on August "a, 1885, and died al
his home in O~pelousas, La, on May 10,
1914, at the ripe old age of Is years,
months and "a days. He was aveteran
of the Lost Cause and wore with
pride up to the time Of his death the
medal of honor conferred upon him
several years since. He was not only
a Confederate soldier but a soldier OF
God, and met death with that calm fear
lessness and resignation which pre-
sages the passing of the true Christian

Reverend J. NJ. Laval, Auxiliary
Bishop of New Orleans, arrived
here from Carencro on Thursday
evening, May IA. As he reached
the Sacred Heart Church the st.

words, and afterwards made a
visitation Of the Church. A re-
ception was rendered him by the
students of st. Charles College

H STUDY or MAN.

We are in receipt. of a pamph-
let on the Study of Man. in
connection with the establish
ment of laboratories to investi-
gate criminal, pauper and defec-
tive from classes DR.. Arthur Nc
Donald, Of Washington, d. G.,
the honorary president OF the
Third Congress of Criminal An
thropology of Europe. wherein
he urges the establishment OF
laboratories in the different states
For the study of abnormal
classes and the work shall include
not only laboratory Investigations
but also the collections Of socio-
logical and pathological data, es-
pecially such as may be found IN
institutions for the criminal, pau
per and defective classes and
generally in hospitals and other
institutions. Said laboratory
and work shall be in charge of a
Director, who shall be appointed
by and who shall
receive a salary Of three thous-
and dollars per annum. Heshall
make a report once a year di-
rected to the which
with the approval of that officer
shall be published.
For the aid of the Director
there shall be one Psychologist
at SO, 900; one translator at ST.
200 and a typewriter at Sic 00
and one mechanic at 5000.
For the proper equipment and
carrying on the work of said
laboratory and the rental, if
necessary of suitable rooms there
for there is hereby appropriated
out of any money in the treasury
not otherwise appropriated the
sum Of $4,000 or so much thereof
as may be required"
The basic idea of the bill is
that from a humanitarian as well
as economic standpoint, the
state should look after the moral
as well as physical health of the
people. The statistics of the
world prove that within the past
thirty years crime, suicide, in
sanity and moral perversion is in
creasing faster than the popula-
ton.
Heretofore the study of the
criminal and detectives has been
sadly neglected, hence the igno-
rance or the sources or crime
and effectiveness. How much
is due to heritity, how much to
environment.
The university work in this d.
rection is purely academic, to
prepare men for this work, not
to carry on the work. The latter
is prominently a governmental
function and the longer the state
neglects it, the heavier will be
the cost to the taxpayer; this is a
case where an ounce of proven
ton is worth the proverbial pound
