Pensions For Teachers.

State Superintendent Harris has
preDared several amendments and
original bills in reference to the
schools which will be presented to
the Legislature next month. One
of the most striking Of the new
bills will provide for pensions to be
paid by the State to all teachers
who have taught thirty years in
public schools, twenty-five in Lou
isiana schools. We do not doubt
that some opposition will develop
relative to State pensions, prIncl-
palIy for the good reason the State
has now barely reyennesfor press
ing needs; in fact, the State is in
debt.-Bofon itouge Chronicle.
Any teacher who has faithfully
taught for thirty years deserves a
pension. any blacksmith who
has toiled at his trade for the best
part of his life deserves we'll of his
country, and the same can be said
'of physicians, ministers Of the
gospel, printers, boilermakers,
statesmen, soldiers and workers in
sweatshops. All good and faith
full servants should be taken care
of in their old and dependent age.
| But the fact is that our govern
ment was organized for no such
purpose and the machinery is not
adapted to the task of pensioning
| Wherever benevolent work has
been done by the government il
has been done more Or less at the
expense of citizens also worthy
but unrewarded.
In some countries Of the old
world CID age pensions have been
introduced very successfully. Al
faithful citizens or subjects are

for centuries and finally adopted

At present, however, the tax bur-
