aDITOR AND PROWRIETOR TUE SUGGESTION ENDORSED. The recent suggeston of Hon. A. D. Lafargue in regard to the crestU of a State Board of Examiners tea the purpose of passing upon the Staes and quallfcation of all pne.om applying for situations in ti schoole in the State, has been reslved with favor by many staunch fbuends of education, and we are glad to note that several of the best papers of the State are now discumsiag the question and endorsilg the suggestion.

We believe that parish school boards, as a rule, are honest. The members composing such boards are generally selected on socount of the interest displayed in euaestioad matters, and it is our opinion that few of the boards na the State of Lousimna could be improved. However, the old saying, "Blood is thicker than water" often suggests itself to taxpayers when the school session opens sand teachers are selected. 'harges of partialty (we are glad to say that no such charge has ever been preferred agaiast the present Iberville board) are made, and sometimes upon good grorads. The creation of a State Board of Ealbmiers would remove from the list of applicants those whose only claim for positions are relationship or personal friendship, and this alone woald be a long stride forward.

At- the next convention of the Parish Superintendents we hope the question will be thoroughly discussed and efforts made to seeure a State Board of Examiners.Iberville South.

TAMMANY. POINTS FOR TAX-PAYIBS TO DIGEST. PART I. Editor St Taamnany Furan: No oees better qullaed than you, sir, In determining what progres ouar parish has made during the present administration from an educational point of view. I have no doubt that after a careful persal of this letter, not only you, but the progressive and broad-minded element of the community also, will coincide with my views and endorse them.

It is notorious that the tax-payerthe course of the school fund-has not ecelved at the hands of our present School Board, the recognition ad consideration to which be is entitled. Patraons of schools from time Immemorial have had a inalienable right to select their own teachers, provided they held certilcates as such, sad that there was sn entente cordials in their selection; yet this privilege of late has in some instances been curtailed, while in other cases it has been abrogated. As a matter of course patrons, of schools are averse to such "Czar Reed's methods" and do not propose to be dictated to by any board as to whom they shall have for a teacher, especially when they are aware that the teacher to be assigned to their school is Incompetent in the full sense of the term, and consequently public funds wasted. The casual reader, the man having no childre of school age, and of course not interested in school matters, the transient visitor, who is unacquainted with our wretched, obsolete, lneicient anad adeqte parsh system, will, I have no doubt, be surprised to hear me use the word, "incompetent." Yet Isuch is the case-It is an aiom-for outside of incorporated towns, and especially in our backwoods settlements, we have teachers, not one or two, but by the score, who are not only Ignorant of the frst principles of pedagogy, but who have not even the ability to spell the most common words of their mother-tongue, and English, you know, is their forte. How can it be otherwise when some I of our parish superintendents have not even a common school education? How can they, in visiting schools, determcne whethe' pupils are taught according to rational and common sense methods? How can they, as in duty bound, give pointers and suggestions to their corps of teachers? How can they discriminate between a "Pestalozsi" and a By examinations, do you say? Readers, you are not In it.

You do not know the ropes. Twenty-Ave dollars monthly Is a large bait to j.stify "wire pulling," and In our parish there is about as much spirit, zeal and honesty of purpose displayed In these so-called examinations as there is in our public road workings -they ar a farce, a hollow mockery and a foul blot upon the educational escutcheon of Louisiana. Unless a parish superintendent is an expert as well as a critic in school matter, unless he is well enough posted to frame his own examination questions, unless he possesses more ability than any teacher under his control, be is only a figare-bead, and under his leadership there is no progress, but retrogressIon. The moment that questions and answers for examinations of teachers (as now furnished by the State Superintendent in book or pamphlet form) are printed they are bound to become more or less public property, for favoritism will make them so. Teaching is the sciece to Impart knowledge.

Very few persons are bor teachers and are able to grasp the requirements of the school room by Intultion. A teacher may know ever-somuch, he may be a walking Encyclopoedla Britannica, and yet be a poor teacher. A successful teacher must be a good manager, recognise the pupil and not the parent, a dIsciplinarian without being a martinet, and above all must possess the knack of imparting the knowledge he possesses. Our superintendent claims that we have too many teachers. Herewith enclosed please And speelmea copes of eadlines written by some.

An examiner might ather up a car load of them throughout the parish. following are a few of the samples, without the bad penmanship: "At say depo on the line." "Be In all your work." "We are travilg home." "To life eternal whare it, etc," Our ungraded primary outry schools can only be taught succesfally by experienced teachers. It is an egregious error to suppose that because soand-so can read and scribble, that Ipso facto, they are qualled to teach. Itl a common thing to hear "oar children do not know much sad almost any one can teach them." The fallacy of such reasoning is obvious, it is "the blind leading the blind." The fogdaton of education Is laid in tshe primary grae, If the same is detective the whole structare will be faulty. In the best schools of the North the primary grade are taught only by experiesced teachers or Isnhers having a record, and not by novices.

In place of memorising and giving their letters and syllables orally, the 4 hand must be traanld to produce cor- I res word-forms. and the eye to recgnine them promptly. The words most be within the comprehension of the pupil, or within his possible mental grasp.

8. Each word must stanad out as a whole, and its written form be Impressed on the mind, before an analysis ef it is mmde into letters and sounds, (oral spelling.) Oral spelling teaches how a word should be spelled by naming the letters. Written spelling spells the word. It is more important that a child spell correctly than know how to spell. One that knows how to spell "hear," and who can with ease glibly name the letters, often writesit Hansell's primary speller ought to be introduced in all of our country schools.

It solves in an easy and attractive manner the problem of teaching ehildren how to spell-theory and practice combined. By its means children are taught to read script (How many pupils in the Ist and Sd readers can read the script in their readers?) how to write, to compose neat and correct s.ntences, sand to spell, the eye, ears, memory and hand being trained at the same time; a system far superior to the old style of conning the speller in ne.rly the same fashion as a Dago grinds music out of his hand organ J.

LIBERTY SETTLEMENT SCHOOL QUESTION. Editor St. Tammany FAarxn: In reply to Mr. J. J.

Biery's complaint of last week. in regard to there being no public school established in the Liberty Settlement, I will state that I am unable to see why the people of the above Setdement claim to be deprived of a public school. They are located between two school houses. These houses are just about four miles apart, both of which have a public term of school'each year. Being well acquainted with the Liberty Settlement, and the location of the public schoo houses, I am prepared to say that I am certain that none of the people of the above Settlement have over two miles to send their children to a public school.

It is a deplorable fact that those who send to the private school in the Libei tyv ettlement are no over one and one half miles from the Camp Ground, where is now being a public school taught, and I am certain that the children of the above Settlement are perfectly wel come to attend. No. it is not through any prejudice that the School Board fails to recognize the demand of a few, and locate a public school in the above Settlement, where it would benbft only a few, and deprive a large number entirely of ite advantages of a public school. I am sorry, indeed, that the peo pile of Liberty Settlement feel that they are not justly recognized by the School Board, for I am certn a that it is not tbe deign of the Board to debar any one of the benefits of the public schools. I am certain that it is the aim of the Board to distribute the public school funds to t'e best advantage possible.

Mr. Biery forgets, or rather ignores, the fact that to move the public school into the Liberty Settlement, would debar a large number of a publM school entirely, for there are some who are now sending to the Camp Grounds, a distance of three miles, while there are others who have quite as far it not farther to send. And to move the into Liberty Settlement would stall make it a mile farther. What! Shall we deprive this large number of children entirely of the tprivilege of a public school, to gratify the whims of a few? Justice forbids. It would be entirely wrong to discommode so many for the gratification of so few.

I am perfectly willing to leave this matter in the full charge of the School Board, and I am sure that they will do the tight thing about it. jIUTCIHER-KNIFE. Slidell. March 27, 1895. Editor 8t.

A. SMITH, Madisonville. New Orleans, March 23, 1895. Editor Sr. TauMaxyr PAaust: Will you kindly permit me to tell who I am, and how I came to be in the littie town I wish to speak about, through the medium of your valuable paper, and, I know, Mr.

Editor, you are very obliging and willing to publish every thing of interest about your own or sister towns. Therefore I trust this will appear in your edition of the 80th inst. Well to begin, I am aloverof nature, and somewhat of a rambler, and lately in one of my rounds, I passed through the pretty, picturesque little town of Madisonville, so prettily situated on the lovely wlndingTchefuncta river, on the banks of which stands some of the grandest majestic oaks, and in whatever direction you look those noble trees gladden the eye. I sauntered down the banks of the river, visiting several shipyards, finally reaching the "lower one" under the management of Mr. Chas.

Oulliber and owned by Mr. Higbee, of the Interstate Co. After an hour spent in chatting and watching the busy workmen, also learning that work is usually brisk with bright propects ahead, I retraced my steps to the postomce, not because I expected mall, but to learn news. I was well rewarded, for the lady in charge was very agreeable, and I learned from several callers at the omce some of the town news, that otherwise I may never have known. The starting of the steamer New Camella seemed to be the center of hope.

The expected return of the popular and efficient clerk, Ed. Langhof, and the genial pilot, Will Hanover, and the revival of the gay, genial River Side Social Club, with a series of expected entertainment was largely discussed. I was informed the town had a ine Brass Band, and four school, the Parochial one, under the management of a New Orleans lady, being the best and largely attended. I next reached the lumber mill of Messrs. Heisser Dendinrer.

Here things had an air of thrift and success quantities of fine lumber was piled In all directions, logs lay all around in the river, and many busy workmen were employed. Surely this little town offers employmeat for willing workers. Next in route came the "Myrtle Cemetery," prettily situated in a retired spot and appeared as if well cared for. Passing through main street I saw several stores and bar-rooms. I was also informed that a grand hotel was soon to be built on the beach near the boat landing, which will surely be an additional attraction.

While I saw so much to commend, I also noticed some badly and I may say sadly needed improvements, principally the churches, and most especially the Catholic Church. How a thriving community uan be satisfied and willing to accept so many gifts from the Heavenly Father and not show by erecting a suitable and respectable house of worship t. God is truly surprising. The town boasts of two large Club Halls and four bar-rooms, and yet not an edifice worthy Qf the name Church. Surely the number of barrooms should lessen and churches Improve, Mr.

Editor, I will sqon be in Covington, and will call to see you, Adieu. BOVYB. Pearl River. Marci 27, 1895. Editor St.

Tammany FAmusaw: A party of the friends of Mrs. L. Crary Sadler accompanied members of the family to 'Tfe Ridge," on West Pearl River, the oeoasion being the removal of the remains of Mrs. Roxana B.

Sadler. Aside troll the sadness of the occasion the party enjoyed the trip very much, and was delighted with the many and varied attractious of that once renowned "Apple Pie Ridge," where the orange trees lourisbed, and live oaks. covered with the beautiful Spanish moss, with the aros of the magnoia, msade it one of sylvan lovelipeeg.
