What does such boy as this need?
Short periods of instruction, practi-
cal, adapted to his understanding. At
least, instruction in the elements Of
education, teaching that win enable
him to read and write, to know some
thing of figures and something Of the
government Of which he is part. We
need a school for just such boys, a
school conducted in hours convenient
for them with a soup kitchen in con-
nection 50 that the boys minds and
bodies may be both better
nourished. It is the plea
that we can not afford
such schools. We can afford them as
well as we can afford jails and courts
and reform schools and penltentl-
aries. And the need for criminal in
stitutions would be far less in a COM
ing generation if we would under
stand and help the boys Of today.
We are planning schools FOR aliens.
We preach of Americaniaztion for the
foreigners in our midst. The plan is
a wonderful one; the ideal beautiful.
But first of all we need to American
ize those of our own blood, the neg
lected, the forlorn the hopeless the
helpless ones in our midst born under
the dark star of misfortune perhaps,
but morn, too, under the starry glory
of our flag.-Selected. ~

REORGANIZATION

Until short year or two ago we
had scarcely heard of the word Amer
icanization. 1t mas been practically
coined to fit the meaning to which it
has been set since the world war. Now
we hear it on every side.
Yet we wonder if we know what
Americanization in its deepest sense
really means.
A few days ago we sat beside boy
of fourteen or fifteen years at the
picture show. He was shabbily dress
ed. His pallor and his nervous excit-
ability over the pictures showed that
he was a poorly nourished child. We
had gone with the little girl we love
best to see picture of pioneer days,
but before that was shown an adven-
ture picture was flashed on the

THE Parker SIX
(From the st. Tammany Farmer,
Covington, La.)


Covington, La
/ have heard Of lots of racers,
And thought / knew the best,
But a new one Of these chaserS
Now outclasses all the rest.
It's entered in the gov'nor race
Been geared to highest speed;
The Stubbsmobile can't keep the pace
With all its big GAS feed.
They call this car the Parker Six,
It's built in highest rat;
The speeds so great it needs no tricks
But leads right from the start.
The Stubbsmobile no record has
To urge the thought, twill win
It's running crooked like pazz,
And travelling on a rim.
If its funny little antics
Didn't make the people grin
Didn't drive them nearly frantic,
Why, sure, it would be a sin.
For the Parker Six outlasses
Ut was built to last and serve)
Just as bees outclass molasses;
While the Stubs runs on its nerve.
1t has carburetor trouble;
Its ignition won't ignite;
Its starters just bubble,
And transmission-it's a fright.
While it knows it can not win it,
1t will not take a rest,
For as two of them are in it
1t may come out second best.
Also, well state, the Parker Six
With ease can climb a hill,
Fen though it be in slippery fix,
The Parker'll fill the bill.
The Stubbsmobile has sprung leak,
It's 'celerator's gone;
It's generators getting weak
Can hardly blow its horn.
It's drivers getting scared and fused,
Sees double when he counts
Says Ring Machines shouldn't be used
'Gainst country racing mounts.

STATE NEARLY FREE
FROM The CATTLE
FEVER TICK
Six Parishes Remain Under the
Federal Quarantine; Much
Territory Now Clear
ST. LANDRY STILL IN
THE INFECTED AREA
Hoped That Work in 1920 Will
Release Entire State and
Benefit Cattlemen

Washington, Nov. 3O.-Louisiana
failed to win complete freedom from
the cattle fever tick this year, but it
made remarkable strides toward that
goal. Only seven parishes are left
under the federal cattle tick quaran-
tine. They are: Acadia, Bossier,
Evangeline, St. Landry, St. Tammany,
Vernon and VIM.
The following parishes are releas-
ed from the federal quarantine, eff
fectivce December 1: Assumption,
Iberia, Lafayette, Livingston, Natchi-
toches, Plaquemines, Rapides, St.Mar-
tin, st. Mary, Vermilion and West
Carroll; and the remainder of Ascen-
cion, Iberville, st. James and ST..
John.
Federal officials had hoped that all
of Louisiana would be placed in the
free-from- quarantine area this year,
thus widening the tick-free highway
to the Gulf of Mexico made when
Mississippi drove out the tick. The
greatest reason why complete sue
cess has not been obtained is ascribed
to failure of local officials to enforce
the local quarantine and dipping laws.
It is expected, however, that 1920
will see all remaining areas cleaned
up. At least, that is the confident
hope of the federal officials, who
place thier reliance on the over
whelming sentiment in favor Of tick
eradication in the parishes that al
ready have driven out the parasite.
Only 50S3 square miles, or z per
cent of the state, remain under fed
eral quarantine. All of the quaran-
tined area can be completely cleaned
up next year if the parish officials
will cooperate with the state and
federal authorities.
This is both good and bad news to
st. Landry cattlegrowers, as it was
hoped that the work of tick eradica-
ton would be finished this year and
thus relieve the parish from the
heavy expense incurred in dipping,
for salaries of inspectors, assistants,
the cost of "dope" and the mainte-
nance of watts. However, as the fed
eral officials say that we are still in
infected territory, there is nothing
else TO do but again wage war on the
parasite in 1920, not counting the ex-

screen. The boy was attention and
all eagerness. He grew so excited
over the adventure picture that he
followed with his hands and his body
every movement Of the actors on the
screen.
But when an educational film was
shown the boy beside me lost interest.
He put his cap over his face and
dozed. It was plain that only the lure
Of the pictured adventure held him.
He was interested in the picture Of
pioneer days, especially the thrills.
And presently he leaned toward me.
"Will you read me what it tells
about?''
"Why don't you read the titles
yourself?" we asked him.
II can't read-no- man," he re-
piled.
"Do you mean that you can pot
read at all? Don't you go to schOel?"
mo, man, have to work" he an
swered.
We asked his name. And next
day we asked about the boy. He is
about fourteen years old. 1t is true
that he has had so little schooling
that he can not read. His parents
are not objects of charity, but they
need the money that the boy earns.
He has place where he works every
day and he is making good on the
job"
He is an American boy born of
American parents. Born in a coun-
try that boasts Of its public schools
and Of the advantages of free educa-
ton; living in a state that has a COM
pulsory education law. Yet he can
not even read.
The school authorities are not to
blame because this boy is out of
school. They know him. They have
kept in touch with his case. Neither
are his parents to blame, perhaps, be-
cause the boy has not been kept in
school
Yet the fact remains that we talk
Of Americanizing aliens; Of assimilat-
ing our foreign population. when in
our midst, with American blood in his
veins and able to say, 81 am an Amer
ican," are boys who can not read
not the news Of the stirring events
that are sweeping the world-not the
constitution Of the United States; not
the laws Of the land and of the state
in which they live.
The boy is a quiet boy, humble be-
fore authority. He has never been
guilty of even trivial misdemeanors
against the law. But suppose he
were? Evidently the only thrills he
gets from life are the thrills that the
picture show gives him. And only the
excitement Of gun fights and battles
appeals to him on the screen. Sup
pose for a moment that in time his
mind excited by what he sees in the
pictures, plans to stage a drama with
the boy himself as the central figure.
Many boys do that, you know. And
suppose staging that drama, he sins
against the law and the laws calls
him to account for the sin.
VIII motives and extenuating cir
cumstances be considered? The law
does not consider them. We say in
effect to such boy as this one: eve
