What do the people of our town
know about their public schools.
How many of them ever 60 inside
OF . school building, except on
occasions of special entertain
ment? What do they know from
personal observation? They send
their children there for six hours
every day for nine months in the
year, and that is about the end Of
h. The public schools are too
much neglected by the people.
They are left as it were to run
themselves. One can see that
more school visitation by parents
would be q great stimulus to both
teachers and pupils. Why not
give . little more attention to the
tsaiaing ia the SCHOOL,

The General Assembly Meets

The Legislature was or
ganized at IL o'clock last
Monday morning promptly
without any friction or con-
tention.
Mr.. Hewitt Bounchaud, CT
Point Coupee parish, was
elected Speaker of the House
of Representatives. Mr.. K.
M. Stafford was unanimous.
ly chosen President pro TEN
of the Senate.
Very few bills were in
PRODUCED in either house this
week. It seems to be to
await the Inauguration of
Col. Pleasant, and the receiv-
ing Of the benefit of his adj
dress, before they take up
those grave problems of
government which the wants
and the interests of the peo-
pie of this State must neces-
sarily bring before them for
solution.
We note, however, that
Mr.. Schwing, of lberville
Parish, has introduced a bill
in the Senate providing for
the abolition of the fee sys.
tenn of the Offices of Sheriffs,
Clerks of Court and Assessors.
This was advocated in the
platforms Of both of the
contestants in the late gu
bernatorial contest. We
therefore conclude that the
incoming administration will
earnestly advocate and bring
about this much-needed re-
form. 1
Still we note that the
sheriffs' lobby is on the
grounds early, led by Sheriff
Marion Swords, of st. Ian.
dry parish, with the avowed
purpose of defeating the
bill, if possible.
We note with pleasure
that Mr.. Percy Saint of this
parish has been honored
with the title of leader of
the members of the Progress
sive party in the House Of
Representatives.
Mr.. Saint has introduced
a bill in the House providing
for the establishing of a
rural bank in the interest Of
our farmers, whereby they
will be enabled to borrow
money for long terms at
lower rates of interest and
on easy and reasonable con-
ditions. The bill is full Of ,
We hope that Mr.. (
Saint will be successful in l
his venture. :
