OUR TEACHERS

AS a rule our teachers, seemingly
have not come. into their own,
either with their pupils or with the
parents of their pupils. They receive
undue censure for what they do not
accomplish and are shOn Of the
praise which should emanate from
every heart for their painstaking
work in development of that activity
of mind, body and morals that ever
points to a higher and easier plane
Of life.
Teachers are truly leaders and to
lead Alright should he their motto.
The paths through which they lead
should by all means be the shortest
and most enhancing Their pupils
should be led through shaded dells
and by rollicking streams; over
sun.lit hills and by ver(ant fields,
theirs to always guide them into
natural bent or channel for which
God and nature has peculiarly fitted
him and given him talents.
In securing their educations they
are fitted for better teachers ami the
idea of securing q better paying
school is RECALLED to the dark beyond,
for their qualifications and fitness
are supposed to look out for this
ueruuisite.
The duties and privileges of a
teacher are truly far reaching and
fathomless. On their shoulders falls
the responsibility of fitting the COM
ing generation for their life-work
preparing the Boys and girls OF today
to go out into the commercial, social
and religious world as propellers and
instigators of an improved era
which shall be felt throughout the
world.
Teachers have duty, yea, Il
privilege-God given-that they
should and must perform in true
and fitting manner, else their lives
and work will prove a failure and
their monuments will be a genera
ton Of thriftless restitution and
dessecration.
Teachers, do your duty in an
unselfish manner, showing your
care and exhibiting your love fol
those whom you teach and lead and
your memories will be cherished by
a noble christian citizenry; our land
will be land of plenty and pleasure,
our homes will be Ravens of happi-
ness and a benevolent God Will
smile His sweet approval on noble
work which has been well done. !

CHILDREN OR>THEIR HOG

1t is a pretty hard thing to say,
but it seems that some people take
better care Of their hogs than others
do Of their children. This may be
difficult for you to believe, but we
think we can prove our statement.
In the state of Wisconsin recently
it was found out that tuberculosis
was increasing very rapidly among
the droves Of hogs owned by some
of the big hog breeders there.
Scientific investigation proved that
the disease was being caused by
milk fed to the hogs, milk which
came from tubercular cows. The hog
raisers now refuse to feed any milk
to their animals unless it comes
from cows that have been proven
free from tuberculosis by going
through United States Government
test.
In many other places, New Iberia
included, many people are still buy
ing milk for their children to drink
that has not been proven free from
this dread disease.
1t seems strange that parents who
contribute literally every year to the
WOTk u cTdUlCdLlQG
this Great White Plague, will not
take the precaution of seeing that
their own children consume only milk
that is ensured by Uncle Sans GER
tificate Of health. The guaranteed
milk costs no more than any other.
Over 5000 people die each week in
this country from tuberculosis. Out
of this total, large proportion are
children, who the doctors tell US,
contracts the disease very easily
from impure milk. This is heavy
toll to pay for infected milk from a
disease that can be prevented by
taking the slight trouble of securing
milk only from accredited cows. No
one would think of feeding their
family rotten meat, and yet INFESTED
milk is just as dangerous.

changed in 1920 by the four-year-ten-
ure act The spells system, as it was
officially described as early as 1850
WAS introduced and extended until II
nermeated the entire civil service OF
the country.
The fundamental purpose Of the CIV
II service law was to establish. in the
parts Of the service covered by its
provisions. Il merit system whereby
selection for appointment should be
made upon the basis Of demonstrated
relative fitness, without regard TO Pc
litical, religious, or other such con-

The act requires that the rules shall

competitive examinations for testing
the fitness of applicants for the classi
fled service, the making Of appoint
ments from among those passing with
highest grades an apportionment OF
amendments in the departments at

tions in the civil service were mad.
subject to competition. The entire
number of positions In the fedora
executive civil service on June 20
1915, was 4SO,327. At the height OF
the war expansion there were approx
imately 100000 men and women EN-
ployed in the federal executive civil
service, about 100000 Of whom helt
positions subject to competition. Or
July 81, 1920, the entire number OF
federal executive civil positions. a.
nearly as can be estimated, had beer
reduced to 1.116. Approximately
100000 of these were subject to com
netition, or, in other words, IN the
classified service. The force Is still
slowly but steadily decreasing.
During the 10 months Of our partici
nation in the war the civil service
commission gave competitive exami
nations under the civil service law ant
rules to slightly less than 100000 per
sons. and about 100000 persons will

seriously of this campaign against
this dreaded plague that it is willing
to test free of charge the cows OF
any darymen. But even under TINS
condition there are still few milk
dealers in New Iberia who will not
submit their COWS to the test.
But because they are willing to
take the chance of planting tuber-
culosis in your child, is no reason
why any sane person should take the
risk with them, and lay their child
rem liable to immature death
Medical tests have proven time
and again that from 80 to 80 per
cent Of the children who die from
tuberculosis, are infected with the
disease germs through the use o.
milk purchased from dairymen who
did not think enough of their Gus
toners health and happiness to let
a government man test their nerd
for tuberculosis.
Most of the milk dealers in New
Iberia belong to the Dalrymen
Association, and all of these mem
bers sell milk from cows that are
| guaranteed by Uncle Sam. THESE
men daily cover every part of our
city. distributing milk that can cause
no deaths-no sad regrets. A list OF
these dairymen may be found ri the
Association advertisement which APP
pears elsewhere in this paper each
week.
OF course there are some other
milk dealers who have dlsease-1ree
COWS. but the association men are
entitled to your patronage Tor more
reasons than one.
Do not be nsled into thlnklne
that only regular dairy herds may
transmit disease, as there is as much
danger from the milk of your next
door neighbor's INFESTED cows a.
there is from any other.

HIRE GOVERNMENT HELP

The civil service commission hires
all employees in the classified service
OF the government. The only thing TO
be said about the classified service, Is
that II has not yet been classined'
But you shall hear what the civil serv-
ice commission has to say about hir-
ing help, without comment from me-
There Is an utter lack of definitely
planned and well-organized employ
ment policy in the government serv-
ice.
There is need for a centralized EN-
ployment office with jurisdiction in all
matters relating to employment.
The employment methods Of the gov
eminent should be such as to serve
for model for private business.
There is at present no central con
troll over the executive service short
Of the President. The President Is a
busy man and cannot concern himself
with the details of the executive de-
partments.
The lack Of efficiency in govern,
ment offices has marked effect on
private business.
Definite information concerning the
number Of federal civil employees In
different branches Of the service and
the amount Of the government pay
roll are not readily available.
An official register, or blue book
II issued every two years. 1t Is out
OF date long before 1t is printed.
A provision of the civil service rules
theoretically gives the civil service
commission authority to collect and
maintain complete personnel stats
tics. The labor and expense involved
however, practically prohibit the col
lection and compilation Of reliable sta
tistical data.
In addition to the limits Of the com
missions authority is the absence OF
authority to enforce its findings. The
commission can make recommends
lions to the departments and office:
and urge their observance, but 1t can
not enforce them.

Some psychologists are claiming
that the mouth reveals the character
more than any other feature, and
that to make an exact character
study the face must be in complete

mouth that its expression is affected
by each passing physical or mental
reaction. Psychologists even claim
