committee with whom he had consul
ted that his bank would only loan
money to the Board on notes secured
by the personol endorsement of the
members of the Board and stated
that his committee would not meet to
consider a change in their bid until
next month and that if the Board
was not willing to accept their bid
on the basis explained that their bid
was withdrawn.
For the reason that members of
the School Board should not be fore
ed to give their personal endorse
ment for funds used by the Board,
the bid Of the New IBERIA National
Bank was not further considered.
The bid Of the State National
Bank being the highest bid in con-
forrnity with the usual bid for the
fiscal agency of the School Board, it
was moved by Mr.. Hall and second
ed by Mr.. Segura, that the State
National Bank of New Iberia, La, be
designated the fiscal agent for the
ensuing term. The motion was car
ried.
The Supt. then requested the Board
to determine the length of time that
the Public Schools Of the Parish
should be closed for the Christmas
Holidays. 1t was moved by Mr.. Hall
and seconded by Mr.. Pharr, that the
Public Schools of Iberia Parish close
at the usual closing hour on Friday,
December %, 1921, and reopen at the
usual hour on Monday, January End,
1872. The motion was carried.
There being no further business
the meeting adjourned.

as coming from President Harding:
President Harding issued a pro-
clamation today setting apart the
week Of December 4th to 10th as
American Education Week, during
which. citizens of the United States
are urged to assist general efforts to
reduce illiteracy and give thought to
remedying defects in the nations ed
ucational system. The presidents
proclamation follows:
Whereas, public education as the
basis Of citizenship and is Of prim-
airy importance to the welfare Of the
nation, and
Whereas, more than 5000, 900
boys and gills in America are not
availing themselves Of our free school
advantages and are lacking in the
youthful schooling which is essential
to making Of an intelligent citizen

Whereas, the experience of the
war reveals vast elements Of popul-
alton that are illiterate, physically
unfit; or unfamiliar with American
ideals and traditions, and our future
strength and security are much de-
pendent on their education and COM
mitment to American ideals.
Therefore, I, Warren w. Harding.
president of the United States, do
urge the governors Of the various
states and territories to set apart
December 4th to 10th, inclusive,
1921, as American Education Week,
during which citizens in every state
are urged to special and thoughtful
attention to the needs and. the aims
OF the public schools.
1T is particularly recommended
that efforts be addressed to practical
expression Of community interest in /
public education. To that end organi-
cations for civic advancement and
social betterment are earnestly re-
quested, when it can be made practi-
cable, to provide programs which
will inform the people concerning the
vital needs in this direction, instruct
them regarding shortcomings and de-
ficiencies in present facilities, and
bring to their attention special, con-
structive methods by which, in the
communities those def
ciencies may be supplied.

3. The question as to whether or
not an engine should be started and
allowed to run for a short time while
being flushed out with kerosene is
perhaps better answered by describ-
ing the results of the method. When
the old oil is drained from the crank
case of an engine a great deal of sedt-
ment remains in the oil pan. If kero-
sene Is applied it mixes with this
sediment when it enters the pan, and
if the engine is then operated the re-
suit is merely to cause this sediment
to be thrown about inside the engine
by the connecting rod ends dipping
and splashing through it. AS a re-
suit more metal chips and grindings
are deposited on bearing surfaces
than were there originally. The logi-
cal procedure would seem to be, first,
to remove the oil pan after draining.
clean thoroughly, and. after wiping
away as much sediment as possible
from inside the crankcase and NOV
ing parts. replace the oil pan and pro-
ceed with the kerosene treatment.
The engine can then be run for few
seconds to wash out the bearings
without danger of leaving them in a
gritty condition. 1t Is advisable TO
use several applications of kerosene
and to remove the oil pan again a1ter
the first bath, to wipe out any par.

10. Water in the crankcase OF an en-
CINE either originates from combus-
ton in cylinder heads and leaking
past piston rings or gets in from the
outside with the oil when the crank
case is filled. Combustion of fuel
mixed with air produces water chemi-
cally in the form Of steam, and II 1t
leaks past piston rings will condense
in the crankcaSe below.

One day while dining at a neighbor's
with his mother, the little fellow was
accidently overlooked. He was very
patient for time but at last he could
hear the strain no longer seeing every
body feeding but himself. So, leaning
quietly across TO his mother, he said
