Tallulah, La, June 10, 1915.
To the Board of School Directors
of the parish of Madison.
Gentlemen: beg to offer the fol-
lowing report of school affairs in
this parish.
Notwithstanding the fact that
we raised o.. the salaries of both
white and colered teachers a year
ago, our finances are a little better
than they were at this time last year.
We had on hand July LIST 1915 the
beginning of this fiscal year
$2645.81. We have received since
that time $16413.2l. We have ex-
pended in that same time $16131.65.
This leaves us on hand to-day
$2987.37.. 1t is estimated that our
expenses from now until June 30th,
1915 will be about $4,000. Tn 8
will leave US on hand July LIST, 1915
to open our sehoolsnext fall about
$2737.37 which will be about $140
more than we had one year ago
Our revenues for the ensuing fiscal
year ought,to be about the same as
they were his year. .-"...

The would-be delegates to the con.
stitutional convention are free to declare
that they are opposed to higher taxation.
Webelieve everybody is opposed to taxation,
whether higher or not, but it is thing that
we can not get along without, and now is
the time for the voters to caution the can
didate against pledging too strongly against
taxation. It is delightful topic and sweet
music to the voters, but let rs hold the can
didate within reasonable bounds, for fear
that he may make more promises than he
can fulfill.

Working with relentless vigor the
prominent women's organizations Of
the city are doing much to make the
coming Pendleton Chautauqua one Of
the most successful assemblies yet
held locally. The Ladies' Civic club,
Thursday Afternoon club and the
Current Literature club are the most
active organizations at work. They
have undertaken the work of hand
ling the season tickets in the various
portions of town. The Ladies' Civic
club is taking care Of a certain por-
ton Of town. The Thursday After
noon Club Is handling the residence
section, while the Current Literature
club is busy in the other portions Of
the city.
These three organizations have
been engaged in constructive boost
ing for several weeks. The results
Of their labors are only too notice
able. They have stirred up an en-
thusiasm that cannot be destroyed
1t is through their efforts that the
initial methods have worked so har-
moniously.
The value of the Pendleton Chau-
tauqua is readily understood by the
various organizations The women
are doing their utmost to bring about
an elevation of the thought and ideals
of their city. They are the most ac-
tive workers engaged in the move
ment.
The women of the city of Pendle-
ton want to go on record as being
heartily in favor Of any movement
which tends to bring about read
justment of social moral and econom-
lc conditions. We sincerely believe
that the Pendleton Chautauqua is one
of the greatest institutions in Ameri-
ca. We rank it on a par with the
school, church and state. 1t is be-
1 cause, of this that we are doing our
best to make the assembly here this
season an unexcelled success" Such
| is the statement given out today by
one Of the most prominent society
women of Pendleton
Prof. A. c. Hampton, principal OF
the local high school, is another ac-
| tive booster He, in conjunction with
the county superintendent, is taking
care of the general heralding of the
special features of the seven day pro-
gram.
The churches have entered into the
boosting with all their strength. Said
Rev ]. E. Snyder of the Presbyterian
church, today:
"The Pendleton Chautauqua is of
inestimable worth to this city l am
heartily in favor of such an institu-
tion and will do my utmost to make
this years assembly a success. l be-
lieve that every man and woman in
the entire city of Pepdleton should at
tend the seven days Of unexcelled en-
tertainment."
"The many organizations are COM
bining their efforts They have pooled
their interests and are working hand
in hand to make their work count for
the most With such an organization
at work it is plainly evident that the
Pendleton Chauauqua will be a sue
cess from every point of view" stated
