SCHOOL ROW
MAY REACH COURT
Mercer County Tangle Will Be
Submitted to State Superin-
tendent Taylor.

Stanton, n. D., March S.-FOllow
ing a church-schoOl war up in Mer
Ger county, Of several weeks stand
ing, action will be taken at the next
term of Judge J. NJ. Hanley's district
court to determine the issue.
Attorney j. f. Sullivan Of Mandan,
retained by Jacob Haffner and others,
will tomorrow appear before State
Superintendent Taylor on another part
of the same action, which, it is
claimed will be tested in the supreme
court before it is ended.
Several months ago German Luth-
Grams living in prosperous part of
Mercer county organized and adopted
resolutions that their children were
not receiving the education desired
in the public schools, especially re-
ferring to the Lutheran religion. AS
they had a church building, this was
remodeled and school founded.
The farmers purchased textbooks
and school supplies out of their own
funds and hired a graduate OF Con-
cordia college to teach the children.
They contend that the same studies
are taught as in the public schools,
but that in addition there are desr-
able religious features.
AS large portion of the younger
children do not understand English,
having been reared in German fami-
lies, the teaching of English to them
placed them at disadvantage. In
the new parochial school English was
taught, but German was used in teach
ing the children the new language.
County superintendent Of Schools
Thomas refused to countenance this,
ordered the school to close and the
children sent to the public schools.
The farmers refused.
Jacob Haffner was arrested, charg-
ed with refusing to send his children
to school. Superintendent Thomas
claimed the parochial school was not
provided for by law. Haffner was
taken before a justice at Stanton and
fined. This case has been appealed

Not since her memorable and as

Pickford, the worshipped star of the
Famous Players Film Co., had such
an opportunity, or rather such a mum
Der of opportunities, for the exhibit
ton OF her amazing talents, as in the
Famous Players latest production.
The Dawn of a Tomorrow Frances
HOdgson Burnetts celebrated drama
OF faith and love. This five-part sub
iect is released on the Paramount
Program, and is the current attl'ac-
ton at the Grand for Monday, March
10.
The delicate touches with which
the noted woman playwright adorned
a beautiful idea, the tenderness with
which she suggested something half
philosophy, half theology, and two
thirds intense drama, if such a frac-
tional division is possible. The story,
founded on a love and trust that
knows no fear, comes close to you
and warns your heart. 1t tells a
pathetic story, behind which is q
shadow of spiritual purpose, and its
influence cannot be other than uplift-
ing and edifying. Best OF all, it re-
veals the inmitable Mary Pickford in
a character the very essence Of
which is womanly nobility nobility
even intensified because the charac-
ter is clothed in rags.
This feature will be shon at the
Grand theatre Monday only-two

GOOD SENSE PREVAILS.

Announcement is made that the
leaders of the local political factions
concerned in the contest for control
of the police jury of this parish have
reached an agreement whereby 3
meeting of that body is to be held on
Wednesday next for the transaction
of business demanding immediate at
tention, as suggested in The Chiefs
leading editorial of last week.
Under the terms Of the agreement
we understand, Police Juror L. W.
Armitage of the fifth ward, who was
elected president pro tenn. at the dis.
puted organization two weeks ago, is
TO be chosen temporary president next
Wednesday.
1t is gratifying to see that due re,
gard for the public interest has pre-.
vailed over partisan and personal con-
siderations in this matter, and we con.
graduate the gentlemen of both fac
tons who have been instrumental in
bringing about this arrangement up.
on their willingness to put aside their
differences to such an extent as to
protect the community's welfare from
positive injury and its reputation
from possible disgrace.

BIG RAILROAD STRIKE I'M
MINENT,

Expectations of an amicable ADJUST
ment of the differences between the
principal railroads of the country and
their engineers, firemen and train
men have not been realized, and the
situation is one of precarious UNI
certainty.
The railway managers have refused
assent to the proposition that eight
hours shall constitute days work on
their lines, the main point for which
the operatives are contending. Pres
ident Wilson is backing the men in
this demand. and takes the ground
that the roads should accord the
eight-hour day, leaving other matters
of disagreement to arbitration. The
attitude of the railway chiefs is that
the question Of reducing the limit of
a days work from ten to eight hours
should be included in the arbitration
along with the minor points in con-
troversy.
The executive heads Of the labor
organizations concerned have an
nounced that Monday next, Labor
Day, has been set as the day and Z
o'clock in the 30 ming as the hour for
efie ssriae rs begin unless the de-
mands of the train operatives are
conceded before that time, and the
railway companies are making prep
arations to meet the emergency and
continue the business of their roads
as far as possible.
President Wilson has gone before
congress and urged legislation max
ing the eight-hour law applicable to
interstate traffic, and the enactment
of other measures calculated to avert
the threatened strike, but whether
even the intervention of congress will
be effective is problematical.
1t will be crying shame if no
common ground of justice and equity
can be found upon which the disput-
ants can adjust their differences and
spare the people of the country the in
convenience, loss and sufferin to
which they must inevitably be sub
jected by general interruption of
railway traffic, even for a brief pc
Rod.

FINE SHOWING FOR AsCEN-
SLOWS SCHOOLS.

The ANIMAL report of Prot. II. r.
| Broussard, superintendent Oh ne
public schools Of this parish, as SUD-
mitted to the board of school dlrec-
TORS on the 1th ultimo and printed IN
full in The Chief of Aug. 49, is very
interesting document and presents d
clear and complete summary Oh 'he
condition and progress of the work OF
| nublic education in Ascension tor the
| mast wear and a statement OF the
most pressing needs of the local edu-
catiohal system for the future term.
The results achieved during the flrst
year of Superintendent broussaro 5
administration must be regarded as
gratifying in the extreme, particularly
when a comparison is made OF the ag,
gregate revenues available for school
work in this parish with the much
larger amounts expended in other
parishes of this section of Louisiana:
According to the statistics quoted
from Official reports for the l9l5-lo
school year, Ascension had in round
figures nearly $4,000 less money TO
spend for public education than dld
Assumption, over $4,000 less than st.
James, $22, 1000 less than St. JohnA
$4,000 less than St. Tammany arr
$4,000 less than Iberville. The
tai expenditures in this parish we
only $34,525, yet "a teachers wei S
employed, a number exceeded only In
two Of the parishes just named. st.
Tammany's force of teachers num-
bered 81, st. James "a, Iberville's 81,
Assumptions 48 and St. Johns 80;
Mr.. Broussard pays well-merited
tribute to the devotion of the Ascen-
sion teachers who voluntarily served
half-month without compensation
that the term might be prolonged al
ter the funds for meeting their sal
aries had been exhausted, and he
makes plea for additional revenues
that will be strongly Endorsed by
every right-minded citizen, to the end
that there may be no further call
for such self-sacrifice on the part OF
these already underpaid public serv-
ants.
Our superintendent of. schools has
shown himself capable, painstaking
and efficient official, and he is to be
congratulated in common with the
people of the parish on the accom-
plishments of his first years service.
