spots in the United States. There
are five other hotels, a newspaper,
The Bogalusa Enterprise; Boga-
lusa Building and Loan Association,
paying 10 per cent on installment
stock and per cent on full-paid
stock; a Chamber of Commerce, of
which B. D. Talley is president and
Percy Lindsey secretary. The year
ly payrolls of the Bogalusa enter
prises aggregate 100000. There
is q reason for the bOastful boosting
habit of the BogalCsan, who seems
to think that Louisiana is in Boga-
lusa and that New Orleans is a SUI
burb.
If so much has been accomplished
under the stimulus of existing en-
terprises and OF faith in the policy of
the Goodyear family and the farsee-
ing Colonel Sullivan, there surely
will be a tremendous acceleration to
the growth of BOgalusa with the
struction of the new 600-tOn Paper
mill that has just been authorized by
the company. This will mean en-
ployment for another 1000 men at
least in the town and surrounding
country. Within the next two years
the population will pass the 10000
mark. A city of that size affords
opportunity for a large farming COM
munity, and the influence of the To-
cal demand for foodstuffs is already
seen in the rapid development of
farms and in the building of modern
farmhouses.
It must be said that only por-
ton of the land in Washington par
ish is suitable for agriculture. Most
of it consists of lean, sandy soils, adj
mirably adapted to the growing of
pine trees, but deficient in the quail
ties needed for general farm crops.
The rich lands are exceedingly good
for yams, sweet potatoes, turnips,
beets, cabbage and most garden
truck, moderately good for corn, ex-
cellent for many kinds of grasses,
and we'll adapted for raising sugar
cane. An association has been formed

Production Costs
Must Be Lowered

Unless there is a marked increase
in the production of lumber or the
market improves between now and
February LIST, there will be a reduc-
ton in forces at the plant of the
Great Southern Lumber Company.
Possibly the twin band may be closed
and maybe one or two other rigs.
This information was received by As
sistant General Manager J. H. Cas-
sidy in a message from w. H. Sui
livan, who attended the meeting of
the board of directors of the Great
Southern Lumber Company, held last
Saturday.
Following is a copy of the message
received by Mr.. Cassidy, which will
be of interest to every citizen of Be-
galusa:
Buffalo, N. Y, Jan. Is, 1921.
]. H. Cassidy, Bogalusa, La:
At the directors meeting today
the business situation was thorough
ly canvassed. The demand for lum-
Der shows no improvement. Town
send just getting back from trip
East and he and Trounce both say
that prices are going to go lower.
DIRECTORY passed resolution that,
commencing February LIST, they are
not going to allow US to produce any
more lumber than we ship, so that
unless we can sell more lumber we
will have to reduce our production,
perhaps by closing down twin band
mill and maybe one or two other
rigs. Will do this unless we can
make sufficient reduction in cost so
we can produce lumber at ptice
where it can be sold without loss.
Thet feel we should take into serious
consideration further reduction in
living expenses, including rents, and
furtEer reduction in wages.

TEACHERS TO GET
LESS SALARY in 1921

The teachers in the parish schools
will get a 10 per cent reduction
in salary next year, according to a
resolution of the school board passed
last week.
Teachers, like everyone else, will
not object to a reduction in wages if
the living costs stay down. Some
of the teachers in the BOgalusa
schools say they would not object to
a greater reduction, providing the
cost of living is kept down, and indi-
cations are that at the end of the
present, term a new salary schedule
will be put into effect.

FROM OUR READERS
TO COUNTY SCHOOL BOARDS

Gentlemen: We want to call your
attention to a certain duty placed up
on you and what should be done about
it.
!eGoI Oh p26l ~, II d...i1n II, Iii
geat OF tho school laws, and you will
see that it is your duty, not only to
provide course of study for the
schools of your county, but grade
them, too.
See page 90 paragraph 10; page
10, paragraph 5; page Is. 4th para
graph, From these references you
can see what the duty is and the re-
suit of neglecting it,
Now we do not think this duty
should be placed on the county school
boards. They are chosen for their
business qualifications to look after
tho business side of the schools. They
are often not teachers and often not
educators. They are not required to
visit the schools. They see but little
of the instruction phase How would
they know how to prepare test ques-
tiOns suitable for each subject in each
grade? The county superintendent
visits the schools and is supposed to
be qualified for such work Therefore
this work of grading and classifying
the pupils should be done by the state
superintendent and county superin-
tendents. The county superintendent
should be relieved of secretary work
and financial work so they could at
tend to the educational part of the
schools. They should be highly quail
fed educationally, especially profess
sionally
We therefore request you to write
your legislators asking them to place
this duty on the state superintendent
and county superintendent and fix
their qualifications accordingly.
Fhis is only justice to yourselves
and the schools A FRIEND.
