An Important Election

Next Tuesday, July 25th IS th
day appointed by the Schoe
Board to test whether the educa
tional advancement that has per
mitted our great old parish t
forge ahead as leader in the rank
of the most progressive ones il
the State, will be given the sup
port necessary to keep it there.
And 1t goes without saying thai
it will, because our citizenship
appreciates the fact that it is only
mete and proper that the home Of
the greatest educational institution
in the State should lead in matters
of this kind as it has ever since
the first Convent of the Sacred
Heart, the highest grade educa.
tionally and most exclusive of all
religious orders ever established
in Louisiana, was domiciled in
Natchitoches and sent from its
portals students who ranked
among the most learned and cul.
tured of the anti-bellum days.
A cursory survey of the outly-
ing wards gives the assurance that
each precinct appreciates the i'm
portance that this election means
and will vote to continue for ano-
ther year the same special tax
that it voted last year, so that
their schools can run the full term.
Responses from the question
aire sent out by the Educational
Committee OF the Chamber ofI
Commerce encourages the belief
that Ward One that has inst erec-
ted a school house that is not only
the kride of the builder and arcbi-
tect, but will stand for ages as q
monument to the progressive citi-
xenshlp of Natchitoches who have
thus proven their interest in their
children and the cause of educa-
ton. will give q safe majority in
favor of this special tax which
must continue another year the
same as last land not an additional
tax as some believe) so that school
can start in September and run
the full nine months.
But be sure to 60 to the polls
Tuesday, as everybody's vote is
needed to prove their good citi.
