SERMONETTE
Number Ten
EARLY TRAINING

Economy is like a tender
plant. 1t will flourish If
properly cultivated, but may
wither and die if neglected.
AS good soil is most produc-
tive of plant life while yet
in an early stage of cultlva-
ton, so is a youthful brain
more apt to receive lasting
impressions of economy and
thrift. The fact that early
impressions are the most
lasting is never disputed.
One of the old philosophers
said if he could train child
until he was seven years OF
age his religious views
would be SO thoroughly in
culcated that no one could
ever change them. Plant
the seed of saving in the
mind of a boy or girl and in
after years it will bear the
fruit OF useful, economical
habits. The ideas of saving
are necessarily acquired in
the same manner as ideas
along other lines, and it is
the plain duty of the parent
to instill the proper ideas
into the young mind. The
best method Of procedure is
to open savings accounts for
the youngsters and teach
them to watch for all the
chances to save any sum, no
matter how small, to add to
this fund.

schools to the inconvenience and
detriment of the children attending
the public schools, in whose interest
the transfers are operated.
To enable the superintendent to
handle such matters effectively,
should further occasion arise, it is
recommended that your board pass
resolution forbidding the use Of
these transfers to any person other
than children in attendance at the
public schools of the parish.
Junior HIGH School
For MadisOnville-
Based on advice of the Superin-
tendent that the school at Madison
vile has complied with all the neces-
sary requirements, it is recommend
ed that your board pass a resolution
authorizing the establishing of a
Junior High School at Madisonvilley
Sand Hill School
1t being reported by the Superin-
tendent that the school at Sand Hill
is in deplorable condition, physical
ly, it is recommended that steps be
taken by your board to provide
suitable house for this community
before the opening of the 1919-20
school year.
Parish Wide School Tax
On account OF the new Constitu
tional Amendments, providing funds
for the operation of our schools, the
special school maintenance taxes
previously voted in some of the wards
appear to be excessive, and in at least
one ward (the eighth effort has al
ready been made to bring about a
reduction of their special school
taxes. To provide for our schools
as parish unit, rather than as ten
ward units, your committee deems
it advisable that an election be call
ed during the coming summer to
vote a parish wide school mainte-
nance tax, to take the place of Iie.
special ward taxes now in existence.
1t is therefore recommended that
your board pass a resolution instruct
ng your executive committee to work
)ut, in collaboration with the sup
erintendent, the details of such plan,
O be submitted to the board at its
July meeting, SO that an election may
De called at that time.
Assistant Principals of
High Schools
At your last meeting a schedule
of salaries was adopted for the COM
ing year, but this schedule, as adopt
ed, made no provision for assistant
principals of high schools. After
some discussion Of the subject, your
committee recommends that duties
OF these assistant principals be de-
fined by the superintendent, and that
