Appeal For Red Cross Funds

To all patriotic citizens, ThirdWard, Washington Parish:

Our president, Woodrow Wil.son, has proclaimed the'week be-ginning May 20th to May 27thinclusive, as Red Cross week, andhas designated the American RedCross as the organization to whichwe are requested to show ourpatriotism and generosity towardmeeting the urgent need of fundsthat will arise to take care of thesick and wounded soldiers of theUnited States that are now inFrance, who went there offeringtheir lives as a sacrifice in orderthat we, left at home, ntay con.tinue to enjoy peace, life andprosperity.

Every person should respondliberally to this call, for in givingyou are practically giving to yourown, as there is not a family inthis 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 uponthe urgent need of those that arenear and dear to us to help thegreat American Red Cross in itsnoble efforts to alleviate the suf-ferings of the sick and woundedsoldiers of our army.

of praypr.The minutes of the April meet-

ing were read and approved withthe omission of the resolution inregard to teachers salaries whichmotion was later reconsidered andamended.

Mrs. Ihrie, District Agent inof the canning club work, met theBoard to discuss the situation inregard to canning club work inthe Parish from July 1, 1918 toJuly 1919. After stating that itwould be necessary to securelocal aid to the extent of $600 inorder to have a lady agent in par-ish for above mentioned time andto have an assistant agent in Bog-alusa during June, July, Augustand September; and that theGreatSouthern Lumber Company andthe city schools of Bogalusa hadof[ored to give $200 each for this

0ik; .n4 that *) was as8ilg

the Board to appropriate $200 forthis work, the following resolu-tion was adopted:

Whereas it is the opinion ofthis Board that every good move-ment enoburaging and helping inthe conserving and producing offood products should be givenevery possible aid; and

Whereas, the School Board hasbeen asked to contribute only$200 of the $600 local aid requir-ed for securing an agent for JuneJuly, August and September tosupervise the work in Bogalusa;

Therefore, be it resolved thatthe amount of $200 is hereby ap-propriated for the purpose of pay-ing part of the salary or salariesof the lady agent or agents fromJuly 1, 1918 to July 1, 1919,

On motion duly seconded andcarried the following resolutionwas adopted:

Whereas, the depressing out-look that is presented by condi-tions now prevailing in the publicschools of Louisiana renders itnot only advisable but necessarythat measures be taken withoutundue delay to anticipate and pre-vent a season of disorganizationand disorder in these schoolsand,

Whereas, the most alarmingsymptom of this disorganizationis to be observed in the steadywithdrawal from school service ofmany of tie best teachers; and

Whereas, this depletion in ther&..ks of the teachers is the re-suit of economic conditions thathave brought it about, that themargin by which, in times ofpeac.. and plenty, a teacher's in-come exceeded her expenses pasbeen converted, in times of warand scarcity, into a margin of ex-penses over income; and,

Whereas this distressing condi-tion and this alarming prospecthave come about as a logical re-sult of the inadequacy of the fin-ancial resources of the publicschool system of the state; and,

Whereas, the state and parishbschool officials in convention as-sembled on January 12, 1918,adopted recommendations for pro.viding additional financial aid forour public schools as will enablethem to continue without disor-ganization and embarrassment;specifically recommending a statesohool tax of one and five-tenthsmills on one hundred percent as-sesment and the parish tax ofthree mills on one hundred per-cent assessment;

Therefore, be it resolved by theWashington Parish School Boardthat we fully approve of the effortsbeing made to secure adequatefinancial support for our schools,and we urge our representativesin the Legislature to support therecommendations of the conven-tion of State and Parish schoolofficeials, as adopted on January 121918.

Be it further resolved, that acopy of these resolutions be for-warded to the representativesfrom this parish, the senator fromthis district, the speaker of the
