New ORLEANS. Jan. I2.-That
the colored people of Louisiana are
again going to make an effort to
secure control of the Republican

the record payment of poll taxes

them to vote at the Presidential

paid their 1914 poll tax, aud here
in New Orleans alone over 6,ooc
Negroes paid the required tax.
La every parish of the State the
colored men paid their poll taxes in
large numbers In one parish in

they paid more poll taxes than the
whites. Politically this record pay

We expect to report to teachers
this week the results of the Diploma
Examinations held recently Eighth
grade pupils should continue their
studies without interruption until the
close of the term that they may bet
ter prepare themselves for the com
ing work of next year.
We note a few failures thus far
in part of the course of study, and
as stated heretofore, such pupils who
fail in not to exceed three subjects
are urged to review during the sum-
mer and take the supplementary ex-
animation to be held in August.
Teachers can greatly assist such to
be prepared at that time to success

Pure bred yellow dent corn will be
furnished by the University for our
corn growing contest to be conduct
ed this summer. Teachers are asked
to encourage boys and girls. in their
schools to enter this contest. Take
it up with them, and assist them
to take hold Of the work. A half pint
of corn will be given each pupil. We
will distribute the corn at the in
stitute on May 8th.
Some of the cashiers of the bankc
in the county are much interested
in this contest, and will offer liberal
cash premiums for exhibits at the
county fair this fall
Teachers annual report blank are
being mailed this week Should you
fail to receive yours by the 25th,
please advise the superintendent.
Much care is needed in filling out
the report, and the register will
need to be fully filled out before
undertaking the report.
Pupils finishing a grade should in
each case be given a promotion card,
and the fact should be entered in
the register. A copy of your recita-
ton program must also be left in
the register. Kindly attend to set
ting out all books needing rebinding,
and are worth it. See that all libra
ry books are fully cataloged.
Our spring institute set for the 9Th
of May promises to be very help
full meeting for all teachers, and we
hope to see all present. Questions
teachers are asked to look up about
are: Define Initiative and Referen-
dunn; Allodial and Feudal Tenures;
Manner Of nominating and electing
Of President of U. S., and give all
sources of the Common School Fund.
The institute will be held at the
Ladysmith highschool instead of at
the training school building. School
officers are requested to be present.
They will thus be given an opportun-
ity to meet teachers. Doubtless sew
eral may thus secure just the kind
of teacher they desire for next year,
as this will enable them to better
judge of applicants.

Getting Roads and Paying fer Them

Getting Roads and Paying for Them
We are all for good roads, but
some of us hesitate when it comes
to paying for them. There's the rub.
Good roads don't grow, and no one
seems willing to give them to us
they have to be made and paid for.
We have started out on plan for
good roads all over the state-are
We going to continue or are we go
ing to stop? This is the question
before the people of the state.
Can the state of Wisconsin afford
to continue with its present poor
roads? Let every citizen ask him
self that question and answer it in
way that his neighbors will hear.
Good roads are a good investment
at almost any cost-and the greater
the efficiency in building them the
better the investment Let's go il
for both the roads and efficiency il

HAVE new PLAN ON SCHOOL BILL
County Board of Education Would
Be Replaced by Committee

Madison, Wis, April 22.-The sen
ate committee on education and pub
lie welfare has introduced a substi
tute for the first bill to abolish
county boards of education.
The substitute also repeals the
county board law, but provides ma
chinery to take it's place. 1t pro.
vides that the chairman of the coun.
ty board of supervisors shall appoint
committees in school districts, who
shall have the power to create, dis
solve and consolidate school districts
Or alter the boundaries of districts
Members of these committees would
have three year terms, their expens
es would be paid, and they would be
allowed per diem under certain
circumstances.
The bill provides that the com
mittee on school districts shall be
vested exclusively with all the pow
er to create and consolidate school
districts and to alter boundaries
These duties which are proposed to
be conferred upon the committees
are called by educators very impor-
tant and one reason they oppose the
Burke repeal bill was that it made
no provision for their performances.
For Better Supervision
The bill also makes provision for
better supervision of rural schools.
1t provides that in counties or sup
erintended districts with more than
rs and less than $50 schools there
shall be appointed one supervising
teacher, to be named by the chair
man of the county borad after be-
ing nominated by the county super
intendent of schools. In counties or
