A LETTER FROM MRS. FRANCIS
SHUTTLEWORTH.

We herewith submit q letter from
Mrs. Francis Shuttleworth, Fedora
ton chairman of educational work,
echoing the sentiments of the larger
class of women of Covington. The
School League, has requested that
steps be taken at once leading to
compulsory school attendance.
Let it be a Statewide law, too.
There is constant waste of mon
|ey and and existing illiteracy In the
rural districts that this law, If car
ried into effect, would correct. It is
one Of the great legislative reforms
that intelligent people should work
for:

Patrons Day at the public school
is a day set aside for visitors to be-
come familiar with the work Of pupil
and teacher.
Last week a few, very few, en-
joyed this privilege. Our Covington
high school is in splendid condition.
The Rotations were good and dis
cipline perfect; the rooms were neat
and clean and some of the work
on the walls very credftable.
Mr.. Park has taken great pains to
work our school up to high stand
ard. With his splendid corps Of
teachers, he Is succeeding.
He has given much attention and
time, and hard work, to athletics,
and the equipment Of the gymnasium
The match games given by our young
school athletes are much enjoyed.
and the dancing after the gEmes is
open to the public.
School activity is. noticeable al.
lover the entire parish. Consolidated
schools in several wards. Supterin-
tendent Lyon, the builder Of new
schools, is always pushing this work
In January the Parish Superintend-
ents of South Louisiana will meet In
Covington and visit some OF these
schools.
Slidell and Covington high schools
have a number of boys and girls
from the rural districts.
The canning clubs and domestic
science teacher, Miss Williams, is ad-
vancing her work in every way.
The. schools all over the parish
will work together for an education
3, al building at the Fair.
/ Just as soon as the committee ap-
pointed by the Fair Association gets
together, plans will be formed te
make a splendid demonstration next
year.
We note with pleasure the splen-
did work of the School Leagues of
Slidell, Vaudeville, Abita and Madi-
sonville.
We fell sure that II we could all
meet some day at one place we might
advance many new ideas and be OF
some help to each other.

hreside training?
No doubt, we still nave examples
of this old-time mother left with US.
especially in the rural district. where
are last adopted because
the stress of progress is last to reach
there.
But, with the present conditions.
socially, economically and politically,
can these mothers still be sure that
John is voting for the right man!
Or does she even know under whose
tutelage John is voting. The inttu-
euce of this mother seems to be los
ing its effect and the grog-snop poll
tician's influence taking its place.
Only last Saturday night the writ
or saw four young men, probably be
tween the ages of twenty-one and
twenty-six, distinctly recognizable
as being from the country, coming
from one of our corner "Joy-Dispen-
saries," each with a large bottle un
der his arm. They rode away In an
automobile which was waiting for
them.
Providence only knows whore
these young men were bound for,
and what condition they were In on
the morning Of the Sabbath. Ger
tainly their good, old-time mothers
did not know. they probably sent
up q silent prayer at church the next
morning that the One who watches
over all should watch over John and
guide him in the right direction.
Had this old-time mother taken
an interest and sought development
along with the world, she may have
provided matters Of interest in her
home which would have attracted
not only her John, but the John OF
the sick woman across the way to
whom this o1d-time mother sends
flowers; or the brother John of the
little crippled girl to whom she gives
clothes.
or course, the Sunshine Society
and the Kings Daughters cannot be
spoken of with reverential sentimen-
tally, but they are supplying no,
only the flowers to the SICK and the
clothes to the needy, but are caring
for those in want, in a systematic,
organized way; system and organiza

And the individual mother her

personal charities toward her neigh

finds time for all this in spite of her
many other worldly interests.
To this mother, her children, hel

less sacred than before, but she has
simply become a practical business
manager, and in addition to all these
duties well performed she finds time
for self-development so that she may
be intelligently familiar with the
progress of the world and those out
side influences which are sure soon
er or. later to come into conflict with
her home interests.
The Offices at the head of our ma
