Supt. Harris Back From St.
John On Visit To Schools
Enjoyed Duck Hunt in Lafourche Parish
with Party Of Friends.

The following appeared in the
Baton Rouge State Times in its
issue of December 7th,, and will
be Of interest to the people OF
this parish:
Supt. T. Harris has returned
from st. John parish, where, in
company with Supt. L. J. Bour-
geois, he visited all the public
schools of that parish.
Mr.. Harris states that st John
has system of schools that is al
mostideal. There are no one-teach
er schools, and the schools of two
teachers are limited to seven grad
es of children, and those of three
teachers to eight grades. All chill
dren in the, parish who complete
the elementary grades in their
community schools are provided
with transportation, by the
school board, to one of the excl
lent high schools at Reserve and
Edgard
The buildings and equipment
are all modern and kept in sani-
tary condition. The teachers mea
sure up to high standards Of
scholarship and teaching ability.
The schools are not reaching all
the children in the parish, but the
average attendance of those en-
rolled is high.
After finishing the tour of finspec
ton of the schools Friday after
noon Superintendent Harris and
Bourgeois were taken in charge
by Doctors GuiIlotte and Steib of
Vacherie for duck hunt in La
fourche parish. Captain Constant
and his brother, Mr.. John Con-
slant placed their motor boats at
the disposal of the party and
provided guides and dugouts for
each hunter. Mr.. Harris reports
a delightful and successful hunt,
and the number of ducks which
he distributed among his Baton
Rouge friends indicated that the
party either killed or bought fine
bags of ducks.

JEFFERSON PARISH.

The completed assessment OF
Louisiana was made public Sun
day. 1t shows again the smallest
IN years, of g, 215, 1874 for the
whole State.
Many of the parishes have
stood practically still. Many of
them have shown considerable
decreases. To this increase, JEFF
terson, one of the sixty-four,
contributes $4,000.
Two or three weeks ago in a
tabulatlon to prove inequality of
assessments and demonstrate the
extent of tax-dodging in Louis
lana, Gov. Hall showed that nine
parishes actually take more mon
ey out of the State treasury for
their schools than they pay in for
all purposes of state government,
that forty-six parishes get back
nearly as much as they contri-
butte. and that the burden of
supporting the government falls
chiefly upon nine, one of them
Jefferson, which stands fourteen
among the sixty-four parishes in
total assessment.
Because a gambling place on
the outskirts of the parish,
which his own political faction is
alleged to have received graft to
protect, was not suppressed and
some slot machines have been in
operation, the Governor has de
clared Jefferson in state of in
surrection, proclaimed martha
law throughout the parish and
sent a body of troops to super
sede the civil forces.
Col. James Dinkins, banker
and father of The Items finan-
cial angel, and Philip Fl. Mentz.
lawyer, both active supporters of
the movement which put Gov.
Hall in office; Father Stenman of
the principal Catholic Church,
and many other men of high
standing, interested in the agri-
cultural standing and industrial
development of the parish. have
not hesitated to say that no COM
muniry in Louisiana is more law
abiding and that it is a libel to
charge that a state of insurrec-
rection exists in Jefferson.
Do not these facts all tend to
prove that Gov. Hall, in his at
tempt to ape the despots of recon
struction days in Louisiana, is
using his great office to play q
miserable political game in the
interest of political faction in
Jefferson, regardless of the in
jury he is inflicting upon Louis
lana breada Editorial Daily States
