supt. Gourssain iii.

We regret to learn that j. N. Gour-
dain, our superintendent Of public ed
ucation, is suffering with nervous
rrostration, necessitating the assist
ance of a physician.
OF late Mr.. Gourdain, in his of
fetal capacity, has been called upon
to solve complicated and intricate
problems regarding the management
of the public schools Of this parish,
the most serious Of these problems be-
ing that of being called upon to run
the schools with an empty treasury.
The refusal of the police jury TO
come to the rescue of the board Of
.cfool directors with an additional ap-
preparation Of $4,000, with which to
pay existing school debts and tane
care of the current expenses of the
ninth month of the school term, had
a very depressing effect on Mr.. Gour-
dain and brought on the nervous pros
tration from which he is now suffer
ing.
Under the .skillful care Of DR.. L. A.
Gaudin, his brother-in-law, coupled
with much needed rest, we entertain
the hope that within a few days the
head Of our school system will be up
and about and N the enjoyment OF
his usual good health. st. James

IF or the Common Good.

Some of us are being io1ted into
modern ways and thoughts. To the
naturally alert, up-to-date, business
man the new methods are easy; to the
reactionary old-fogy it is hard to
catch up with the procession, es-
pecially where women are concerned.
As for instance at Chevy Chase,
(southern Maryland of all states
a service camp is established for train
ing women in military tactics. The
course includes gun practice, camp
cookery, caring for the wounded,
nursing the sick, sanitation and the
regular life of wartime. Mrs. Wood
row Wilson visited the camp and re-
viewed the women. Come to think Of
it, even reactionaries cannot beWail
the gun practice. All our American
fore-mothers were handy with guns.
Used 'ern on Indians, or bears or
sometimes to shoot rabbits, turkeys,
and other attractions for the cookpot.
No real American descendant can OBJ
ject to women in gun-practice. And
canp-cookery and nursing are regular
Wolnen's jobs even though our fore
fathers thought they alone coddled
and protected the family. The camp
at Chevy-C Chase isn't introducing new
conditions after all. It's just mobil-
izil1g the Women's energies for the
general good, whereas forefathers
formerly monopolized these energies
for personal use. Women are now
serving all instead Of one. United
We stand includes women. Wonder
if women will be given a chance to
vote on war conditions if they must
serve?

A Million Dollars For Suffrage.

BY the decision of the surrogate of
New York, approximately one mil
lion dollars will be available for the
cause of woman suffrage. The be-
quest was made by Mrs. Frank Leslie,
who devised her estate to Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, for the purpose of se-
curing votes for women. This liberal
sum of money will be devoted to the
aesessary expenses of campaigning in
the states which have not yet given
5ile ballot to women. Perhaps a
little work ii the south in behalf Of
woman suffrage will lift the southern
women from the degradation Of po-
litical inferiority to every man re
