MAYORS TERM OF OFFICE

From certain sources opposition to the
frightening of the mayors term Of Office from
two to four years has cropped up. This opposl-
ton, however, we believe, comes from very lev
citizens of Opelousas.
Why one should oppose the election of the city
officials for a term of four years is really IN
comprehensive. The two year term works
enough hardship on the officials, prevents those
who would, to devote all their energies and all
their time to the performance of their duty, as
they are forced by law to go before the people
every two years to seek reelection. A fool Will
understand that the officer, no matter who ne
is, is forced to play politics to a certain extent
in order to win favor from the voters, and con-
seduently is not in a position to give his entire
attention to the eity's affairs around an cleo
ton. Consequently too many elections tend TO
perpetuate politics in governmental affairs.
We believe that the mayor and the other city
officials should be elected for four years; peo-
pie in every community are clamoring against
the burden of too many elections, and surely
Opelousas should not remain in the rear. The
officials, as we have repeatedly shown, would
be in a better position to devote their efforts to
the betterment of conditions and the four year
term would serve, in a measure, to do away with
politics, as on the present plane, in city affairs.
If the Opelousas charter is changed and if the
city officials are elected for four instead of two
years, the voters of this city will be called upon
two years hence to choose their officers for. the
regular term of office. Hence, the idea of
frightening the term of office is not to perpet-
ulate any one in Office, as has been charged III
private conversation by certain individuals OPP
posed to the change of charter.

A COMPULSORY EDUCATION LAW

The ladies of the Lake Charles City Fedora
ton of Clubs have started, with all earnestness,
"a campaign for a compulsory education law.
They have secured the signatures of a m
1of Lake Charles citizens and intend to press the
tlnatter before the city authorities.
Lake Charles like all other cities in Louisiana
lis suffering from want of proper education
laws; a large number of children do not attend
school, the majority of whom turn out to be
worthless citizens, who will loaf from town to
town rather than work.
Under the present law a municipality, a ward
or parish has the right to enact compulsory edu-
cation laws and is given the power to see that
this law is enforced.
The question has not gained much popularity
among the general public, but those who look
forward to the progress of Louisiana firmly be-
1ieve that we will have to resort to this means
for stamping out i~lliteracy entirely from the
state. Since a statewide compulsory law is
iinpractieable at this time many localities are
contemplating compulsory education law for To-
cal needs.
The Lake Charles American Press, speaking of
The campaign inaugurated by the ladies of the
City Federation OF Clubs, says:
Upon the question, Shall all children be
compelled to attend SCHOOL, the arguments are
all in favor of the affirmative. The states owes
IN the child a certain amount of education to
prepare it for an Industrious and useful life.
This education is as much the right Of the child
as is protection against brutality and i'll usage;
or against enslavement in some factory at a
tender age. IT the parents are neglectful and
Indifferent to the proper training Of the child,
the state should compel them to perform this
duty, Just as it would compel them to support
their children, clothe them d~ecently and not i'll
treat them.
Much is said of the need OF children to help
support the home but these cases are rare in
Lake Charles. While there are exceptions, the
great majority of parents who keep their chill
dren out of school to work do so through greed
for money or a desire to make life easier for
themselves, not thinking perhaps, that the chill
cren's future is being sacrificed. But most of
the children who do not attend school do not
work at home or elsewhere. Too indulgent par
ents permit taem to idle about the streets, fall
ing into bad habits and evil companionship
laying the foundation for lives of uselessness if
not OF actual crime.
ut is The turning Of these children into the
right path that the community is mostly con-
sCerTled. Laying aside the moral obligation upon
The public TO see that these children have a
fair chance in life, the community has an eco
nomic excuse to compel children to attend
