Tells Secret. Of Smoke
Screens Used in, War

London.-The secret Of the
smoke screens, used with great
success by the British navy in
the raids on Ostend and lee
brugge, is definitely disclosed.
They were produced from an
acid, which has to be burned in
the presence of a sufficient
amount of water vapor, other
wise the smoke produced, even
over the sea, is liable to be
somewhat thin on a dry day.
: Commander Brock, who sac
rif1ced his life in the assault on
the German defenses at the Bel
gian ports, devised the plan to
feed the acid in a fine spray; into
the funnel of a. destroyer, where
the temperature was sufficient
to vaporize the acid, and ! e'
water vapor> present completed
the formation Of the cloud. -

ALL SOUTHERN STATES ARE Civ.
EN- A LOW POSITION IN
THE LIST.
NO CAUSE FOR EXCITEMENT
Anyone Familiar With Conditions In
Southern States Knows That
Poor Showing Is Almost Un
avoidable.

Baton Rouge. Superintendent T.
H. Harris Of the state department OF
education answers the Russell Sage
Foundation on the poor showings
made by the Southern States IN
schools.
For the last few weeks the news
papers throughout the country have
published and commented upon re-
port by the Russell Sage Foundation
giving the results of certain investiga-
tions and tabulations by DR.. Leonard
Ayres. The report attempts TO set
out index numbers showing the rela-
tive merits of the various state sys-
TENS OF public schools. All OF the
Southern States are given low posi-
tions. Louisiana is near the top OF
the list of the Southern States, but
still II makes a poor showing; and l
have learned that many Of our good
Louisiana people are somewhat oiS-
turbed and distressed over the situa-
tion.
| think there is no cause to grow
excited over this report. Three OF the
important factors used in arriving at
the relative educational standing OF
the different states are: % The en-
rollment in the public schools as COM
pared with the number of educable
children; (2) the length OF the school
session; (3) the annual salaries paid
teachers.
Any one familiar with the condj'
tions in the Southrn States knows
that we are bound to make a poor
showing in any school statistics bas'
ed largely upon those three factors,
for it should be remembered thsk the
negroes receive the same considera-
ton at the hands Of DR.. Ayres as the
white people. We make no secret OF
the fact that $4,000 of our negro chill
dren are not enrolled in the schools;
that the negro school term is only
fraction above four months, and that
the annual salaries paid negro teach
ers is approximately $500. These
facts necessarily play havoc with any
statistics having to do with the edu-
cational standing Of Louisiana, and
what is true of Louisiana Is true OF
all of the other Southern States.
