Matters Before the Legislature.

Baton Rouge. La. May TO-
While Governor Hall was down.
stairs working on his three-day
task of preparing a defense OF
an empty treasury. the house to-
day took speedy action for the
alleviation of the domestic sci
ence and agriculture departments
and the approved State high
schools.
The Jones concurrent resolu-
ton authorizing the State auditor
and treasurer to borrow from
revenues of 1916 monies appro-
priated for these school purposes
out of the general fund of 1915
and left unhonored because the
funds of the latter year have
been overdrawn $318, 044. SO, was
passed by the house without a
dissenting vote.
Some of the old Hall guard ar
gued against the procedure, but
membership was almost a unit in
the belief that immediate relief
should be given and that to f.
nance the school terms any other
way would mean further indebt-
edness to the State.
There is some talk of opposi-
ton to the Jones resolution in
the Senate, based largely on the
ground that it is too early in the
session to open up for discussion
the question of State finance.
A brief session of the present
legislature for the introduction
of bills and the passage of the
appropriation bill, then adjourn
ment for four months. during
which time constitutional con-
vention would be held to dispose
of all constitutional issues when
the legislature would reassemble
and enact into law such reforms
and such measures as would then
carry into effect the new consti-
tuition, etc., was an interesting
proposition developed among
some of the leading legislators
Wednesday. 1t was submitted
to Senator E. M. Stafford, who,
among others, was forcibly i'm
pressed with certain features and
possibilities. He agreed to take
it up with Governor-elect Rleas-
ant and others upon his return
to the city Thursday night. Sew
eral senators and representatives
thought well of the plan.

Consolidation of the Public Schools.

Consolidation of the Public Schools.
One of the most important fac
tors in the attainment of efficien-
cy in the public schools is the
consolidation of the small schools
of the parish. In many cases
this is hard to do. on account OF
the opposition of the very people
whose community and children
are to be benefited by the con-
solidation. In several instances
such consultations have already
been made in Grant parish, but
there are several more that could
be made.
In the January report of in
spection of the Grant parish ru-
raj schools. made by Charles +.
Trudeau, from which we have
already made liberal extracts,
particular stress is laid on the
Importance of combining schools,
and he especially designates and
names nine or ten of our schools
that can be benefited by consoli-
dation. He has this to say:
l. Olive Branch and Rock Hill,
now two and a half miles apart,
both in district No. 2, should
consolidate on or near the public
road, at a point nearest the CEN
ter of population; the material
of which the two school houses
above mentioned are built could
be used in the construction of
the new house; this consolidated
school would be located strictly
within a farming district and
could render good service to the
com nj unity; the consolidated
school would be accessible to all
the children, only three families
would live as far as three and a
half to four miles from the school,
and these would receive financial
assistance from the school board.
2. Hargis and New Hope
should be consolidated by discon-
tinuing New Hope and having
the children go to Hargis; these
schools are only two miles apart
at present; Hargis would then
become a three-teacher school.
3. By discontinuing Willow
Grove and increasing the teach
ing force at Aloha, if necessary,
another good consolidation could
be effected.
A. Shady Grove, Lake, and
Summerfeld could easily consoli-
date at some point near the CEN
ter of population, and thereby
the three school communities
would be benefited by being
served by better school.
5. Nugent and Simms could
consolidate with part of the
Flagon school and part of the
Gates school at some point near,
or at, Simms; this would make a
five-teacher or six-teacher coun-
try school in line for recognition
as a State approved high school;
that part of Flagon not entering
the consolidation by reason of
distance could attend school at
either Bentley or Prospect; that
part of the Gates school which,
by reason of the greater distance,
would not join in the consolida-
tion. could go to the Pollock high
school, and there receive much
better service than is at present
possible.
