As mentioned in our columns
last week our Main Street will
have White Way from the New
Iberia Post Office to the Southern
Pacific Depot. 1t is true, so far,
only the merchants whose places
of business front between the
blocks of Weeks and French
Streets have given their support
to the movement to light the Nam
thorOughfare Of this City.
Mr.. Frank Noel. the Secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce
made Thorough canvas Of the
merchants at the request Of the
members of the Chamber and in
A9erviewed every merchant that
could be seen and with but few
exceptions they very readily at
tached their signatures to the pc
tition which assessed them $1,000
per unit. The list was properly
turned over to Commissioner Will
lermin who will place the order
for the lamp post and other para
phernalia which must be put
down before the paving is COM
pleted.
New Iberia needs just such a
White Way as is contemplated
and every citizen who can possi-
bly, subscribe should do his best
TO improve and light up our City.
The City Trustees have agreed to
furnish all the current without
any charge TO any one. Almost
every progressive city in the
South to-day has White Way
such as our sister tGwn of Frank
lin and those Of our citizens who
have recently visited that town
realize what an advantage it will
be to have New Iberia brilliantly
and Systematically illuminated.
Every business house in New
Iberia that has light of that
kind near its show window will
profit from it because it will give
the public an opportunity to see
the goods on display in their win
dows. The advertisement alone
is worth $1,000 a month to any
live store-keeper and when they

NEUTRAL GROUND ON UPPER
MAIN TO BE BEAUTIFIED.

As chronicled iii our news col
umns last week, the residents of
upper Main Street met by ap-
pointment with a special commit
tee appoined by the members of
the Woman's s Council to take ac-
ton on the establishment and
beautifying of the neutral ground
on either side of the paved high
way commencing at the corner OF
Railroad Avenue to the end of the
corporate limits.
After discussing the numerous
evergreens that might be used, 1t
was decided that Palms and
Oleander was the ideal plant to
grace the fronts of the dwellings
in that section Of the City.
Once the neutral ground is put
in shape and the trees are in
bloom. upper Main Street will be
the prettiest spot in New Iberia.
No better movement for civic
progress could have been made by
the property owners along thai
thoroughfare and i'll a couple CT
years we feel assured that prop
erty holders On other streets will
emaulate the example. Another
step that would add to the ap-
pearance of each piece of resi-
Dental property is the removal
Of unsightly front and even di-
vision fences. Almost every week
we notice one property holder
and then another discarding front
fences and each time the change
is very noticeable. Shrub6ery
and trees should be planted in all
of the yards and in a few years
every street in New Iberia would
be lust as attractive as East Main
Street.

NEGLECTING OUR DEMOCRA
TIC SAFEGUARD.

AS a campaign argument, Mr..
Arthur E. Holder presents "the
welfare of our children, our
schools, our teachers. j." Political
parties may shy away from so do
mestic an issue as lacking in rea
punch; but the paramount is
sue" Of just twenty years ago, so
this .member Of the Federal Board
for Vocational Education points
out, was the benevolent assimila-
tion of the Philippines. peace,
progress, and prosperity reign in
the islands now because our Amer
lean system Of education was in
troduced and, generally speaking,
successfully administered" What
we gave to a dependency is al
lowed to decay among ourselves.
We spent twenty-three billions to
make the world safe for democ-
racy only to overlook "the one
real safeguard for democracy at
home. Mr.. Holder, writing in
the New York Tribune, prefaces
his amazing array of facts and
figures with an appeal that might
make some Of the nearby cam
paign orators conscious of their
own fustian:
America s future is in the
hands of the children Of to-day.
They must be thrilled with an ap-
probation Of American ideals, in
spired by the glorious example of
illustrious leaders, warned by ex-
amples culled from history of peo-
pies who have suffered physical,
moral, social, and ducational de-
say. 1t is in the schools that they
are prepared for this sacred trust
Of carrying forward all that the
nation has stood for and fought
for in every war in which it en-
gagged.
"But as the eager-faced chill
dren come crowding to these
schools they see them being
boarded up, because there are not
teachers. The teachers haven't
struck. they are being locked out,
and starved out. Teachers have
to live 365 days in the year. If
teacher gets $3.50 year it is just
about $206 day, which is not a
living wage for any one, least of
all young woman who in char
acter, education, and appearance
must hold the confidence of the
fathers and mothers who intrust
to her the molding Of their chill
dren, who are to be mothers and
fathers of the farmers, merchants,
mechanics, and leaders of the fu.
ture. +"
"The salary of $3.50 | have sug-
gested as not being a living wage
is, in fact, well above the average.
It is estimated that there are ESQ.,
900 teachinr positions in the pub
lie schools Of the United States.
In 1918 the average salary of all
elementary and secondary teach
ers was $635-in Wisconsin the
average was only 1921. The ave
rage salary of 1921 high-schoolI
teachers in sixteen States and the |
District of Columbia was $1,031 i
