summer course in extension work, or
at least to take a correspondence
course, which is offered by the Ex-

ers at the Waldheim school, and con-
graduate the pupils of hat school IN
having such conscientious and hard
working aides in charge of their
school. / feel that the boys at the
Talisheek school deserve a great deal
OF credit for the hard work done IN
removing the stumps from the school
grounds and ! can see no reason tt
prevent their having a first Gas
school garden next year. With the
use of a new hot bed and the ce1d

at least one month, whose duty it
would be to travel from one school
to another and attend to such little
jobs as repairing locks to doors and
windows, repairing the roof, and one

ing you were kind enough to pass a

insisting that the teachers prepare
and save this work. In order to be
sure that my list was fair and just
one, l sent one to Supt. Harris for
his criticism. In answer to that !
have received the following letter:
Supt. Elmer E. Lyon, Covington, La
Dear Mr.. Lyon have examined
very carefully your outline of school
at the parish fair. You must have
given considerable thought and at
tention to the preparation of this
list. It strikes me that all of the
times are appropriate, as they en-
phasize the importance of a thorough
knowledge Of local conditions and Of
thoroughness in the essentials of the
| course Of study.
Eliminating Altogether the idea Of
exhibiting at the parish fair, be-
lieve that great deal Of good will
| come from the preparing and pre-
| serving Of such exhibits as you have
| outlined in this list Interest in
| school work will be stimulated and
| useful, practical knowledge will be
gained.
Yours sincerely,
T. H. HARRIS.
You realize that my sole idea was
to prepare a list of school work that
could be done even though no par
ish fair was to be he'd. | am still

A request will probably come to
you today for a third room to be
added to the Audubon school.
! understand that according to the
ruling of the State Board OF Educa-
ton, two teachers cannot teach more
than seven grades. Just how many
pupils there are in this community
above the seventh grade / do not
know, but the teachers report shows
that for the last three months there
has not been any enrollments in the
seventh grade Therefore, it is rea-
sonable to suppose that there will be
no promotions made from the sew
enth grade to the eighth If there
are any pupils in this neighhorhood
who are ready for the eighth grade
it will be the duty of &pur board to
care for them in some way either
with transfer to some other school
Or a third teachers. Another reason
why a third teacher should be put
in is because the enrolment is so
large that two teachers cannot rem
der satisfactory services. l have ex-
amined the teachers reports thus far
and find that the average attendance
has been as follows:
First month, .30.3; second, 5s45;
third, 1919; fourth, 1917; fifth, 55.6;
sixth, 49.1; seventh, 533
You remember that you have

teachers we must have an average
attendance OF at least As. l is up
to you to decide whether you will

gently in this matter. Yfrl will re-.

Covington, La, May 2, 1917.
Honorable President and Members
of the Parish School Board, St.
Tamfany, La.
Gentlemen:-At this adjourned
meeting, / desire to present data re-
garding the condition of our schools
and make recommendations for an
other years work, which would usu-
ally COTE in our July meeting. There
are certain repairs and Improvements
necessary to be made upon various
schools in the parish before the next
session begins.
You will please appoint at this
meeting committee to have IN
charge the repairs to be made upon
the Folsom sch oil.
At the Middle Roads school it is
absolutely necessary that new we'll
be driven, as the old one is, / be-
lieve, beyond repair.
At the Onward school the lock on
one of the doors is out Of order and
should be repaired at once. The
roof Of this school, as we'll as that
OF the Savannah Branch also needs
repair. The new school houes at the
Ridge has been completed and school
opened April %.
At Slidell we are met with the
serious problem Of how to house our
pupils for another year. The pres
ent school building is not large
enough and we must have at least
four more rooms to care Tor the
children who are sure to present
themselves for another session. The
enrolment at present lacks only nine
of the 500 mark, and will undoubt-
edl ygo far beyond that next year.
Where the money is to come from by
which we may make the additions
is problem which only the taxpay-
ers in that town and ward can settle.
Some months ago committee was
appointed to make the necessary re-
pairs and alterations on the Bon
fouca Bayou Liberty school. The
repairs have never been made, and
therefore the patrons of that school
have a just reason for asking why.
AS l stated at your last meeting,
feel that the Lacombe school should
have two teachers for next session
and this means more desks must be
secured to equip the second room.
Satisfactory progress is being
made regarding the Vaudeville
school house proposition, and / have
no doubt but what building COM
mite will be appointed today who
will have the matter in in charge.
In view of the fact that the roofs
of the Folsom, Onward, Savannah
Branch, Sun and several others need
attention, and also other repairs in
various schools must be done, and
also in view of the fact that having
repairs done by days work IS the

added to the Talisheek and Central
schools cost between 5000 to $1,000,
20 say nothing Of the equipment. OF
course, that was over two years ago
when the cost of building material
was much less than at present. It
will be prefectly proper for you, and
it might be wise, to consider whether
a general rule may be made giving
three teachers for every school that
reaches an average attendance of As
or so. Should such a policy be
adopted it would mean, one, If not
two more teachers at the Savannah
Branch school, with additions to the
building, and a third teacher at I'm
ion Grove with extra equipment.
| have prepared, and will present
to you a statement OF the sixth ward
special school tax and the money
that Will be available from that
fund for such extras as this third
room. Of course, the nine months
school must come first, if possible.
,As ! do not suppose that you would
feel justified IN depriving the child
rem of the ward of any school in
order that this addition may be
made.
In the present condition of our
national affairs and also in view of
the fact that our cOntry boys and
girls are urged to give their support
towards the increase Of farm pro-
ductiens. I feel that our country
schools have their work very PLAIN
ly mapped out. Our schools must
lend every assistance towards en-
couraging the school children in
their farm work Hot beds must be
made. mere club members must be
enlisted. more assistance, encourage
ment and cooperation must be ex-
pected and demanded from the,

address he said it was a source of
satisfaction to be able to tell the

Sunday was devoted to conference
of the different groups of delegates.
The discussions dwelt principally
with the governments statements,
the reply to be made and the attitude
to be taken at the coming general
meeting. The maximalists reached
the conclusion that the conference
does not represent the will of the
nation end it is of anti-revolutionary
char, .cter. They decided to demand
from the assembly a dictatorship of
the proletariat by the handing owe
of all power to the council of work

RUSSIA is ASSURED
OF STRONG SUPPORT
BY PRESIDENT WILSON
President Sends Message to Council
at Moscow, Expressing Confidence
in Triumph of Democracy.

Washington, Aug. 27.--President
Wilson sent to the members of the
national council assembly at Moscow
today, assurances that this govern
ment is willing to extend "every ma
terial and moral assistance" to the
government of Russia.
The message addressed to the
president of the national conference
assembly, Moscow, reads:
81 take the liberty to send to the
members of the great council now
meeting in Moscow the cordial greet
ings Of their friends, the people of
the United States, to express their
confidence in the ultimate triumph
Of ideals of democracy and self-gov-
eminent against all enemies within
and without, and to give their re-
newed assurance of every material
and moral assistance they a ex-
tend to the government of Russia in
the promotion OF the common cause
in which the two nations are unset
fishly united"
No official comment was made by
government officials on Premier Ken
ensky's speech before the members
of the council yesterday, but it was
made clear that the sentiments ex-
pressed by the Russian leader were
heartily approved here and that his
declarations indicating the firm man
ner in which he and his councillors
are prepared to deal with enemies of
the new government had aroused a
greater confidence in the outcome of
their plans.

DEATH OF MR.. CALHOUN.

Mr.. Edwin Calhoun, one of the
oldest citizens of this city, died in
North Carolina, Sunday afternoon,
at 6:45 o'clock. Mr.. Calhoun had
been in feeble health for several
years, and was in the mountains
with his daughters spending the
summer, when death came to him.
The body was brought to Able
vile Monday, and funeral services
were conducted at the Presbyterian
church, of which he was a member,
by his pastor, Rev. H. W. Pratt, on
Tuesday at II 80 o'clock, after which
the interment took place at Long
Cane in the family burial plot.
Mr.. Calhoun was a lifelong resi-
dent of the county. He was born
at Wilmington, Jany. 21st, 1889. For
many years he followed his life-work
of a planter in the Monterey section,
but some fifteen years ago he moved
with his family to Abbeville, and
here he has spent the rest of his
life, a quiet, unassuming, but a re-
spected and honored citizen.
In early life Mr.. Calhoun was
married to Miss Sarah Smart Tilman,
and they lived together for more
than fifty years. The celebration
of their golden wedding in 1910 was
an event of much pleasure to them,
their children, grandchildren and
many friends. Mrs. Calhoun died
the following year.
Mr.. Calhoun was a Confederate
soldier, being a member of Company
C, Sixth S. C. Cavalry. He was
dangerously wounded while in ac-
ton, from which wound he never en-
tirely recovered.
Mr.. Calhoun was 78 at the tirce of
his death. Notwithstanding his weak
physical condition in the latter years
of his life, he kept his memory as
well as a young He was an
interesting talker, and we'll versed
in the happenings of the lone-ago.
He was born and reared in the neigh
borhood where George Mcl)uffe
lived, and perhaps knew more about
him than any man now living. He
gave interesting accounts of his way
of living and of his methods in poll
tics.
He is survived by the following
children: John F. Calhoun, Misses
Frances, Lalla, Eunice P. and Ivy
Calhoun, of this city, and Charles A.
Calhoun, of Darlington. Another
son, Arthur Calhoun, died only a few
months ago. His oldest daughter,
who was the wife of our townsman,
Mr.. l.. C. Haskell, also preceded him
to the other country.
The members of the family have
the sympathy of a wide circle of
relatives and friends in the great
bereavement which is theirs.
Those attending the funeral from
a d~istnace were: Mr.. J. ]. Calhoun,
of Gainesville, Ca, MI. W. S. Cal
houn of Atlanta, Mr.. and Mrs. Char
ley Calhoun of Darlington, Mr.. John
S. Calhoun of Alabama, Mrs. Arthur
Calhoun of Hendersonville, Mr.. Cal
houn Mays of Greenwood, Misses
Cary, Ida, and Rosa Calhoun of
Clemson.

Democracy for Russia Must Z
Maintained.

Maintained.
Moscow, Aug. 27.-Russia will
maintain her democracy at all costs.
She intends to use the weapons of
the old regime against those who
would have the old autocracy over
throw the new freedom.
Of outstanding significance in the
d~eliberation of the all-Russian con-
ference today was this emphatic de-
claration by Premier Kerensky. He
insisted the new nation twas passing
through period of moral danger
and warned enemies within that the
government henceforth would be
implacable in crushing win blood and
iron all attempts with armed force
against the peoples power"
"Those who once trembled before
the government Of autocrats now to-
boldly march against the government,
with arms in hand" he continued.
"But let them remember that our pa
thence has its limits and that those
who go beyond them will have to set
tie with a government which will
make them remember the time of
czarism."
Makes Deep Impression.
Kerensky's speech produced a deep
impression. He concluded amid
cheers even of his political antagon-
lists and today there was a percepti-
BILE l%essening in the Bolsheviki and
reactionary opposition.
The forces which will literally pass
upon the Kerensky government are
vastly mixed. There are bankers,
rich land owners, c~onservatists, a
sprinkling of reactionaries-even
monarchists. The issue is tightly
drawn between free and open demo-
cracy versus CONSTRUCTED reactionar-
ism. Kerensky never faced such a
task as his present one Of coaxing
support from such a group of enc
mics to the sweeping democracy he
represents. Even the maximalists
today ~adjudged the conference anti
revolutionary and not representative
of the peoples will, in refusing par
ticipation.
Kerensky's supporters agreed to-
day the supreme test of the demo-
cracy will come in the Moscow meet
ing.
eff we yield to the conservatives
and reactionaries now" said of
the revolutionary newspapers today,
they will will deliver Russia to Mich
olas or Wilhelm"
Critical Situation.
Speeches of cabinet members serv-
ed to emphasize Russia's present
critical situation. Minister of Inter-
Tor Prokopovitch reported actual
scarcity of food in several provinces
and a dwindling supply even in such
cities as Petrograd and Moscow.
Vice Premier Nekrasoff warned
that Russia's finances were in grave
shape. Against issuance of an aver
age of 25O,0OO,0OO roubles ($125,-
0OO, OOO) yearly in 1914, 1915 and
1916, he reported an average month
ly issuance by the new government
of 84O,OOO,0 900 roubles (S420, OO0,-
OOO.) Vast increases in wages had
been met. New governmental activi.
ties consumed huge sums of money.
Taxes were not producing as much
as expected. Nekrasoff urged high
taxes on war profits, as one means of
raising money.
