CLOSING Wild Gas Wells.

Engineering feats, comparable in the
ingenuity required, if not in eSpedi-
ture of effort with the closing of the
Salton sea, have been called for i'm re-
cent years to close wild gas wells in
northwestern Louisiana. An immense
amount of natural gas has been lost in
wells that have got beyond control IN
the Caddo and Red river fields, and
the loss consists not only in the pre-
cious fuel wasted, but in the lowering Of
pressure on the associated oil. which
isrendered thereby more difficult to re-
cover. Indeed, it is asserted by some
that the ultimate yield of oil from
pool is considerably less If the gas is
allowed to escape than If it is closed
in until as much oil as possible is tax

nishing the schools with pencil paper

were built on standardized plans APP
proved by the State superintendent of
Schools. The rooms are large, we'll
lighted and have ample slate black
board.
These changes having been made,
we hope by close cooperation of par
ents, teachers and supervisor, to lower
our percentage of overagedness within
few years. The change will not
come about at once. We must not
look for big results Immediately.
When a child is once behind his grade
even highly specialized school sys-
tenn has a serious problem on hand.
Realizing this, we must face our
problem fairly and squarely and with
patience. The course of study will
help; new text books will help; su-
pervision will help; but,--course OF
study, supervisor, superintendent,
school buildings, text books, and all
the category of equipment are OF no
avail without cooperation OF parent
teachers, and school authorities. This
we have had during the past year. The
members of the Board have stood be-
hind us in our efforts; parents are
deeply interested and have expressed
willingness to cooperate, and the
response of teachers has been most
gratifying indeed. And although we
are seriously handicapped by war con-
ditions, our own county being the seat
of many war activities. we feel there
has been progress, and that within a
few years we can greatly improve our
educational accounts.

SPECIAL TRAINING NECESSARY
FOR THE TEACHERS SUCCESS

And if we are to learn to do by doing
we must have room in which TO work.
A fourth important factor that has
contributed to the backwardness of
our children is non-attendance. This.
however, is largely an outgrowth of
non-promotion, which is due directly
to the former causes.
Children do not want to go to school
year after year and be kept in class
with children two. or three or four
years younger than they are. They
rebel against work of formal char
acter, as they can see no use in il,
hence, they stay away whenever they
have the opportunity. The inevitable
result is non-promotion again and
again, resulting eventually in elimi-
nation from the school entirely with
probably a fourth or possibly fifth
grade education.
In the past year we have taken the
following steps TO correct some of the
above faults:
We have put into the hands of every
