MUST HEAR TEACHER
BEFORE OUSTING HIM

Philadelphia Dec. 25-The dis
mtssal OF Or. scott Nearing from the
teaching staff Of the University OF
Pennsylvania, which created such a
storm when II was announced last
JUNE, has resulted in sweeping
changes OF the rules regarding the
methods by which u member Of the
uniyersity's teaching staff can be re-
'ieved of his job.
The most important change Is that
in the future he professor or assis-
tant professor can be dismissed by
the board Of trustees. except after
n conference between committee
composed OF one representative from
each of the nine facultles--suCh rep
rcsentGttycs to tie chosen by the fac
ulty which he represents and a
committee of equal numbers from the
board Of trustees. The provost shall
preside at such meetings.
Scott Nearing was assistant profess
sor of economics IN the Wharton
School. He had hfatedly advocated
economic measures which trustees of
the university opposed When he was
dismissed his friends stated this &C
ton was part Of campaign of the
university's trustees to regulate the
rights Of free speech of members of
the faculty bat trustees said that
Nearing went because he had an OBJ
noxious habit of speaking freely with
ont permitting Commonsense, com
mon decency and q regard for the
rights of others to limit his speech

CHURCH FAIR NEWS.

We say +" THANK YOU" to
all who so generously contribut-
ed to the success of the grand
Edgard Church Fair. May god
reward them as they deserve. :"
While we realize that every
one is impatiently waiting to
hear how the Big Church Far
turned out financially, we must
beg them to be patient and give
us a little additional time, other
wise premature statements might
have to be changed, which to say
the least would be awkward
Suffice it to say that the returns
so far show tnat the enterprise
was very successful, ahd the
amount realized viii surpass a
Thousand Dollars.
All of this sum will be needed
now, for our Church was very
sorely battered by the severe
storm of last week. The slate
roof was damaged in many places
and some water damage occurr-
ed inside.
We are all thankful that the
Almighty Providence willed that
the storm should occur after the
Fair, and not before.
In next weeks issue. of the
Meschacebe
we hope to give a complete re-
turn of the result of the Fair.

Mr.. A. Lasseigne president OF
the Police Jury giving as a reason
that it would cost cheaper to hire
automobiles to bring the voters
to Wallace. In our opinion this is
not logical reasoning. The diff
ference between hiring automo-
biles tor that purpose and esta-
blishing a polling booth is so
small that it would be preferable
and wiser to give thema polling
booth at Vacherie. The Vacherie
is located over fifteen miles in
the back, and at times it is very
difficult feat to reach the front
Especially in automobiles) and
besides it takes a long time to
go to and from that place and
why should we deprive these
people of their days work when
according to the law they are
fully entitled TO a polling booth
at their home place.
LIE Meschac6be is of the opinion
that the PEOPLE of VACHERIE
are entitled and should be given
a polling booth, and as much as
we disapprove the recent action
of the three police jurors from the
left bank. we wish on the ,other
to join all right thinking people
in extending congratulations to
the progressive police jurors of
the right bank, Messrs SONGY,

continuous urgent efforts to haYe
