SCHOOL ALL THE YEAR ROUND.

1t has come! The blow Is falling!
The sword of Damocles is about to de-
scend! Even as was limited in last H.
sue that school all the year round Is
not without appeal to the average
parent" Supt. Thos. H. Harris had al
ready in course Of preparation cir
cular letter making that suggestion. 1t
is printed In another column to-day,
and is cordially commended to parents
and school boards.
Mr.. Harris thinks that the town or
city child does not need the long vaca.
ton. Most parents know that 1t Is an
actual drawback to the average child,
as he forgets much that has been pain.
fully acquired, and what is worse, loses
the habits of study and attention which
are even more important than mere
book-knowledge.
The arguments advanced by Mr.
Harris are all good, and If he succeeds
in securing this change Of system in
both town and country, as outlined, he
will do much more for the cause of
education in Louisiana, than by elab-
Grafton of courses Of study, which too
often is the sole ambition Of educators.
Adapting the schools to the needs of
the child and his locality Is the very
heart of the subject We now have
hope that when the year is more wise.

ton of shorter hours each day will
next engage attention. Both are i'm.

ical well-being.

THE STATE BANK EXAMINER.

Nothing that Gov, Hall has done Of
fcially will give such great satisfac-
ton in, what may be called, the affiict-
ed districts as his asking for the resig-
nation Of State Bank Examiner w. l..
Young. If it had been done months
ago, 1t would have been none too soon
and would have saved a lot of
trouble. The Teutonia Bank failure
first showed Mr.. Young unequal to the
situation The disasters of 1913 con-
6rmed it. His management of affairs
here at St. Francisville failed to con.
serve the interests of the stockholders
and depositors, as matters were per-
mitted to continue, after he knew that
the situation was unsafe.
It will be remembered that in the
Teutonia case. he pleaded the baby
act whining that a bank examiner had
no means of judging without error of
the true value Of collateral or the real
responsibility of endorsers. That was
an eye-opener. They why bank ex-
aminer? Why go through the formali.
ty of looking over portfolio, if the
bank examiner does not see that John
Brown endorsing for Joe Smith and
conversely Joe Smith endorsing for
John Brown, amounts to no endorse

PROVIDENCE" CATTLE.
Lake Charles American-Press:

Lake Charles American Press:
Twenty years ago we had a great
deal of providence" rice in Calcasieu;
in fact 1t was the rule that rice be
grown in a low spot on farm, where
a small levee would cause the natural
rainfall to collect. This provided, It
was distinctly up to Providence to de-
termine whether the farmer should
have rice crop or not. We passed
that stage years ago. We found that
the growing of rice was business,
to be carried on In business-like way,
Providence rice never did amount to
much, and we seldom hear Of 1t at all
now.
Up to this time, the cattle owners OF
Calcasieu and Cameron have been rails.
ing Providence cattle on exactly the
same plan. The animals have even
persisted of cold, lack of nutrition and
insect pests; the more hardy have
been sold at low prices 70 men who
have fed them and taken care Of them,
and brought them up to the standard
size for marketing.
Elsewhere besides Calcasieu, people
are raising Providence" cattle. It
seems that always in those sections
of country, which God has done the
most for, the natural industry and
thrift of the native deteriorates, the
latter being willing apparently to let
God do it all. But this is a mistake.
Even in Eden before the fall, man was
given his task: the keeping of the
garden. Fallen man may expect moth
ing better. Even in this, Gods own
country, cattle need some care and
attention to be at their best

UNWRITTEN LAW LOSING
PRESTIGE.

The mass meeting held at Shreve-
port to express disapprobation of the
jury that failed to convict Mr. and
Mrs. Little of murder is another indi-
cation of the fact that public opinion is
receding from the position that there
is an unwritten law which warrants
murder. Mr.. and Mrs. Little had rest
ed their plea entirely on an insulting
remark, but no actual injury, rendered
the latter by Van Cleave while all the
testimony showed that they had coolly
planned the murder in retaliation. The
Jury acquitted them, but the people OF
Shreveport have not. Other juries,
that have recently convicted women
and men urging the excuses of the I'M
written law, have aroused no disappro-
baton.
All OF which goes to show that the
unwritten law is losing prestige, and
this fact is an indication of advance in
civilization. Crimes against women
should be punished, but let it be done
by the hands of the law. Let no indi-
vldual stain himself or herself with
blood-guiltiness, when Law has pro-
yided other instruments of justice.
The unwritten laws clemency to the
slayer of the despoiler of women is a
survival Of the time when every man
was more or less law unto himself,
and when his summary vengeance fell
without giving publicity to the details,
which were rightly held as the worst
feature of female violation. But the
time is past when publicity can be
avoided In any case where life has
been taken, and in fact less pub
llcity ensues through legal prosecution
than when sensational murder fol-
lows. Self-executed vengeance is a
natural, british impulse, and is an ex-
preston of mans pride of possession
of his womankind rather than any in
stinct of protection. Certainly wrong
ed woman, who is also good woman,
does not constitute herself Nemesis.
Her sole impulse is to hide herself like
a stricken deer. The woman who seeks
vengeance, least deserves it. These
truths are proving the undoing of the
unwritten law.

know. 1t is the finding out Of such
little facts that the State pays for In
its banking department, as much as
for counting the cash.
But it seems that Mr.. Youngs Mr..
Wards talkativeness brought on the
end. And Mr.. Young is also said to
have talked His mistake Is In not
talking and acting at the same time.

DESTROY THE TICKS.

The communication of DR.. E. Pc
gram Flower of the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board, published in another
column, is in response to request for
a report on the progress made In tick
eradication by Louisiana. The desire
to know was aroused by the govern.
ment reports naming the states that
are wholly or nearly free from this
animal pest
Louisiana was not among the num-
Der! DR.. Flowers letter shows exact
ly what progress has been made. That
it is SO little is largely due to the
smallness of the state appropriation
for pushing and carrying on the work.
Lack of general interest ia primarily
the cause, of course. If the public
were alive to the importance of tick
eradication, there would be more funds
furnished the excellent board already
had, and there would be fuller coop
Grafton of all persons concerned.
Perhaps when 1t is seen how far be-
hind her sister, Louisiana lags reluc.
tant, that feeling of shame will be
engendered, and desire to so forward
along this line Of improvement In
cattle-raising.
