Silence Gives Consent.

Il has always been and always Will
he q thorn in the EDITORS side that II
ia necessary for him to carry two
classes Of news. One is the kind we
like to read and the other the kind we
don't like to read. An editor, though
often q freak, is most always human
to some extent and niety-nine cases
out Of every hundred the most Liberal
fellow you ever saw, democratic in his
beliefs and perfectly willing to make
any reasonable sacrifice for the adj:
yancement Of his community, accept
the unwanted title Of Goat" and take
the position Of "Backstep" for all tho
"cussin's" the rest Of the community
are unwilling to stand for Outside OF
this he is alright. But it Is to the
credit Of most editors that they usual
" take. q stand on the side that they
honestly believe Is right and for the
best interest Of the community in
which they reside.
There. has come to us from some OF
our best friends and most respected
citizens a request that we keep GER
tain items out Of the columns Of the
Democrat which we feel is an injus-
tlce Just as much so as if you would
70 to our mayor or MARSHAL and ask
them not to arrest certain people for
violating the law, setting a precedent
which would tepd to destroy the in.
iluence Of the. law. Each man feels,
and Justly so, that he is entitled to as
much consideration in the courts Of
Justice as the other fellow, and when
4 Judge or any other official that has
4 hand In melting out Justice shows
partially in the performance Of his
duty then he had just as we'll lock up
his house Of justice and throw away
the key, because he has destroyed the
influence Of his Office or position in
the suppression Of vice. The position
Of this newspaper Is that we are op-
posed to any form Of law violation so
long as the law remains upon the
statutes Of our state, and in our case
we feel that II we were to lay down on
the Job and not back up our peace Of
fcers In the performance Of their duty
We would be nothing short Of an in.
Crate and not entitled to citizenship
in the community.
"Sllence gives consent" then if we
remain silent on these matters we are
not giving the officer the cooperation
that he is entitled to and are giving
consent to law violation.

sion number, name and grade. tie then
takes this and the book to the libra
rian who removes the book card from
the book pocket and places the filled
out slip in the book pocket. The book
card is placed in the student slip and
is placed in the tray behind date for
return. The date for return is then
stamped on the date slip in the book
borrowed. The student always knows
the date for return from the date
stamped in the book, and the librarian
knows the date from the position Of
the student slip. The librarian also
knows the book borrowed from the
book card in the students slip.
Miss Porter, one of our progressive
teachers, then helped the students to
get fine lot of flowers and also some
nice lace curtains for the library. The
students are taught to feel that the
library is the living room Of the school,
We extend an invitation to every
body to visit our school and our IL
brary.
Our student body and faculty are
very proud Of our library and it is
very fine to see what an interest all
the students take in keeping the H.
brary in fine order.
Our school can now boast of one of
the best, if not the best equipped
Fairgrounds in the parish. When our
school opened in September there was
B1ENV1LLE HIGH SCHOOL Two
no playground apparatus, with the ex-
ceptiOn Of two basket ball courts that
were badly in need Of repair. In the
first two months of school the follow
ing equipment has been placed on our
school grounds: two basket ball courts.
ten swings, seesaws and a giant stride.
Also four balls have keen purchased.
two basket balls, a volley ball auG
football. Another great improvement
that our school has long been in need
Of has been installed, a splendid SAM
tary drinking fountain.
The credit for these splendid i'm
provements is due our progressive and
efficient principal Mr.. H. w. Blalock.
All of the equipment, with the excep7
ton Of the giant stride, was built by
Mr.. Blalock, assisted by the high
school boys, on Saturdays. 1t is all so
substantially built that it will be here
as a pleasure and a joy to the children
for many years. Saturday and Sun
day find almost as mny children on the
school grounds as on a school day. The
parents are with them enjoying it al
most as much as the children. This
certainly fills long felt need here and
the entire town feels Indebted to Mr.
Blalock for the splendid progress along
this line in so short time.
The afternoon recess is period of
thirty minutes devoted to supervised
play. Every child engaging in some
form of play from the smallest to the
largest, under the direction Of teachers.
Another way in which our school is
keeping in line with up-to-date and
progressive methods is the adoption of
the standard scale of grading that is
being used in the majority Of the
schools and colleges.
We are now getting ready for our
Thanksgiving defamation contest.
Twenty.one high school students are
being trained for the preliminary con-
test which will be held Wednesday af-
ternoon. The students are taking an
