PUBLIC SCHOOL NEEDS.

The legislative committee appointed
by the Parish School Board Associa-
ton in session March % and "a with
the State Superintendent of Education,
agreed to ask the special session of the
legislature, soon to be called, to make
the following appropriations for the
benefit of the public schools:
That the state current school fund
be increased to two mills. 1t is at
present 1920 mills.
Appropriation for high schools be
increased from $4,000 to 100000.
One hundred thousand dollars for
domestic science and agricultural
schools. This is an increase Of SIS, 900.
Fifty thousand dollars to aid in build
ing country schoolhouses.
One hundred thousand dollars to sup
element the salaries of teachers who
remain three years or more in the
same positions.
A statewide compulsory law to apply
to children between the ages of Z and
IA years..
A school week of six instead of five
days.
A statewide pension law for teachers
to anplv TO teachers who have served
for 80 years or more. The pension
would amount to $500 year.
Repeal of the institute law and place
the parish institutes in the hands Of
the parish school authorities.
Raise the constitutional parish tax
for schools from three to four mills.
Allow the assessors commission
only on the poll taxes and special
school taxes actually collected.
Require parish school boards to dis
tribute the general state and parish
school funds so as to give equal SEES
sions in all schools in the parish, in
Guiding high schools.
AS to the present assessment system,
"the committee believes that the most
important question confronting the
schools is the necessity for system
of assessment which requires all prop
erty in the state to pay it's just share
of taxes" The committee also believes
that an overlapping central education
al board for state institutions would
mean much better administration, but
does not believe that such legislation
should be urged at this time"

SELL AND NOT HOARD.

There is more stuff-cast-off or un-
used-around most homes than would,
if sold, clothe one or two persons for
a year.
Make tour OF the house. Make out
list of the things you do not want
and probably never will use. Mark
down the very lowest cash price you
will take for the things, Add up the
figures and the total will surprise you.
Now to turn these useless things
into money for yourself:
Fix up a little ad. something like

Such happenings will never be impos.
sible, so long as human life is held SO
cheap by Southern people. The Orien,
tai, like the hero in battle, does not
fear death, therefore does not put a
great value upon his own life. This is
entirely a different matter from put.
ting so small a value upon another

Senator Walter Burke, in definitely
announcing that he will not be a candi-
date for governor, expresses the hope
that the office will not go to political
nomad. The epithet is not a particu-
larly happy one as the sort most I'M
desirable is the one that does not
wander but sticks to office. Mr.. Burke
possibly meant that the man wanted
and needed is one with strong in
stincts for the State of Louisiana as
his home, and whose heart is fixed on
it's interests.

investigators find that o.s2 of q nound

investigators find that 0.62 of pound
of borax, or OTIS of a pound of calcined
colemanite (crude calcium borate) will
kill the maggots and prevent practi-
cally all of the flies ordinarily breeding
in 8 bushels Of horse manure from
developing. In the case of garbage
cans or refuse piles, ounces of borax
or calcined colemanite, costing from
5 cents pound upward according to
the quantity which is purchased, will
effectually prevent flies from breeding.
That quantity will not lessen the value
of the manure as fertilizer, but a
large proportion Of borax will prove
injurious.
