the Superintendent, any mem

the school here is a sort of holi-
day affair, that the teachers

Franklinton, La, Dec. 10, 1917
Editor Era Leader:
Replying to "a Patron' in
last weeks paper:
First, the school has observed
no holidays except those set aside
by the parish or state authori-
ties.
Second, no teacher has been
absent more than one day this
session except when sick. Two
of the five who have lost one day
furnished experienced substitutes
The others tried to get substitutes
but failed. The Superintendent
and principal thought they had
reasonable excuses for being ab-
sent.
Third, high school girls have been
used as substitutes. This is the
best we can do under the clrcum-
stances. If "a Patron" knows
of qualified teacher that we can
secure to do substitute work, he
will confer a decided favor upon
the school authorities if he will
name her. However, | fin1 upon
investigation that it hes been
customary for the high school
girls to do substitute work except
when the teacher was kept out
some time. This is nothing new
"a Patron' is several years be-
hind if he has just found out this
fact.
Fourth, Teachers are salaried
people and are of as much i'm.
portance as any other salaried
officials. True they receive less
for their work. But who would
think of reducing the salary of
the sheriff, clerk of the court,
district attorney or post master
because he happened to be kept
away from his office a day or two?
There is not merchant in town
who would reduce the salary of
one of his clerks because of few
days sickness, or even if he was
absent a day or two on private
business. Our teachers work
fifty minutes each day more than
the time required to earn their
salary. This amounts to six full
periods in one week, or three
foUrths of a working day. |

teachers to leave at recess in the

The press giving it the most

such matters as stated in the
aticle in question, or any other
matters affecting the school,
should be taken up with the

complaints to the paper and hav-

without even making an investi

will eventually act as a boone

be hurt by such mwarianted at

duct.
