A neat and refined invitation to the graduating exercises of the Hammond School for May 28 brings a pleasant reminder of Prof. W. J. Dunn, Supt., of Ham mond schools. A citizen of Ham- mond last week volunteered gratifying news for Mr. Dunn's Franklinton friends by saying that Mr. Dunn had made a splen- did success of his.new work and had been tendered the position again with an attractive increase in salary. This only confirms the confidence of the people here who knew him as a man and a school worker but who are glad to hear an honest expression of appreciation from the new friends. Appeal For Red Cross Funds To all patriotic citizens, Third Ward, Washington Parish: Our president, Woodrow Wil. son, has proclaimed the'week be- ginning May 20th to May 27th inclusive, as Red Cross week, and has designated the American Red Cross as the organization to which we are requested to show our patriotism and generosity toward meeting the urgent need of funds that will arise to take care of the sick and wounded soldiers of the United States that are now in France, who went there offering their lives as a sacrifice in order that we, left at home, ntay con. tinue to enjoy peace, life and prosperity. Every person should respond liberally to this call, for in giving you are practically giving to your own, as there is not a family in this section that is not represent- ed by some near or distant rela- tive in this terrible workd war. I appeal to every individual, upon the ground of patriotism, upon the ground of duty and upon the urgent need of those that are near and dear to us to help the great American Red Cross in its noble efforts to alleviate the suf- ferings of the sick and wounded soldiers of our army.

Mrs. Ihrie, District Agent in of the canning club work, met the Board to discuss the situation in regard to canning club work in the Parish from July 1, 1918 to July 1919. After stating that it would be necessary to secure local aid to the extent of $600 in order to have a lady agent in par- ish for above mentioned time and to have an assistant agent in Bog- alusa during June, July, August and September; and that theGreat Southern Lumber Company and the city schools of Bogalusa had of[ored to give $200 each for this 0ik; .n4 that *) was as8ilg the Board to appropriate $200 for this work, the following resolu- tion was adopted: Whereas it is the opinion of this Board that every good move- ment enoburaging and helping in the conserving and producing of food products should be given every possible aid; and Whereas, the School Board has been asked to contribute only $200 of the $600 local aid requir- ed for securing an agent for June July, August and September to supervise the work in Bogalusa; Therefore, be it resolved that the amount of $200 is hereby ap- propriated for the purpose of pay- ing part of the salary or salaries of the lady agent or agents from July 1, 1918 to July 1, 1919, On motion duly seconded and carried the following resolution was adopted: Whereas, the depressing out- look that is presented by condi- tions now prevailing in the public schools of Louisiana renders it not only advisable but necessary that measures be taken without undue delay to anticipate and pre- vent a season of disorganization and disorder in these schools and, Whereas, the most alarming symptom of this disorganization is to be observed in the steady withdrawal from school service of many of tie best teachers; and Whereas, this depletion in the r&..ks of the teachers is the re- suit of economic conditions that have brought it about, that the margin by which, in times of peac.. and plenty, a teacher's in- come exceeded her expenses pas been converted, in times of war and scarcity, into a margin of ex- penses over income; and, Whereas this distressing condi- tion and this alarming prospect have come about as a logical re- sult of the inadequacy of the fin- ancial resources of the public school system of the state; and, Whereas, the state and parishb school officials in convention as- sembled on January 12, 1918, adopted recommendations for pro. viding additional financial aid for our public schools as will enable them to continue without disor- ganization and embarrassment; specifically recommending a state sohool tax of one and five-tenths mills on one hundred percent as- sesment and the parish tax of three mills on one hundred per- cent assessment; Therefore, be it resolved by the Washington Parish School Board that we fully approve of the efforts being made to secure adequate financial support for our schools, and we urge our representatives in the Legislature to support the recommendations of the conven- tion of State and Parish school officeials, as adopted on January 12 1918. Be it further resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be for- warded to the representatives from this parish, the senator from this district, the speaker of the House, the Presidont of the Son- ate, the State Supeint/ t, and the pre.
