Our parish school board while in session last Saturday wereconfronted with the usual worry of every cross- road neighborhood wanting a school. The policy of our State board is, (and it should also be the policy of the parish boards), to have fewer and better schools. The cumulation of funds, and the massing of the chil- dren, gives longer terms, means to employ better teachers, and oppor- tunity to class and instruct the pupils to much better advantage. Ourpeo- pie need to be educated to the fact that it is better to carry the children to the schools, than to attempt to carry the schools to every child.

I am informed officially by Mr. Turner, General Paeaenger Agent of the Texas and Pacific, that be will make a rate of $4 '0 from Shreveport to Dallas and return. I propose to make a rate of le per mile for every mile traveled, plus the bridge toll of 15c. This is a very low rate, as I am sure you will realise, but owing to the oc(cason we will make thelowest rate we have ever madeon our road, in order that the railroad fare will not prevent any Cohfederate veteran from attending the reunion. This rate will only apply from agency stations. Yours truly. C. ELLtE I 3 Testimonial from Old England. "I consider Chamberlain's Cogh Rem- edy the best in the world for bronchitia," says Mr. Wm.

Carry the Children to School.Our parish school board while in

session last Saturday wereconfrontedwith the usual worry of every cross-road neighborhood wanting a school.The policy of our State board is, (andit should also be the policy of theparish boards), to have fewer andbetter schools. The cumulation offunds, and the massing of the chil-dren, gives longer terms, means toemploy better teachers, and oppor-tunity to class and instruct the pupilsto much better advantage. Ourpeo-pie need to be educated to the factthat it is better to carry the childrento the schools, than to attempt tocarry the schools to every child.
