Citizens of the Parish Called
to Meet Saturday Morning
February ID, I914.l

At the suggestion and recon-
mendation Of Mr.. Chas. F. Tru-
dau, State Inspector Of Rural
Schools, the Parish Board has
under consideration 4 plan for
financing the schools Of tn" Par
ish in such a way that if the plan
is carried out it will he for the
good of the entire Parish. The
plan, in short, is to run all the
schools of the Parish tho same
number Of months in so far as
the current school funds, Police
Jury appropriation, fines and for.
FIXTURES, and a Parish special tax
would run them.
In order that this plan might be
worked out better in detail and
submitted to the citizens of the
Parish for their consideration, the
Board passed resolution at the
last meeting calling for a Mass
Meeting of the citizens of the
Parish at the courthouse on Sat.
urday, Feb. 10, 1915. This res
olution did not set the hour, but
it is generally understood that
the meeting would be held at
1880 Or II O'Clock, and it is hoped
to make this the largest repre-
sentative body of loyal citizens
ever assembled at the Parish cite
to discuss a matter of general
public interest. Neighbor, get
ready to attend this meeting and
don't allow anything short Of a
providential hindrance prevent

to discuss the matter with every
friend you meet urging upon
each and every one the necessity
Of attending so that this matter
may be intelligently presented to
the entire Parish and all possible
help and encouragement may be
given to the promoters of school
interests OF Washington Parish.

fruit in America. We are noted for
our industrial achievements as Egypt
was noted for her pyramids; Jerusa-

art; Phoenicia for her fleets; Chaldea
for her astronomy and Rome for her

the desert of the Northwest and with
