Sim mons is having circulated in every ward of the parish, should meet with the attention it well deserves. By the full text of the paper as published in fr last week's issue of The True Demo crat, it will be seen that the petition, a as addressed to the police jury of West Feliciana, calls upon that body it to exercise its legal prerogative in the redivision of the parish into wards, s Ireducing their number, and thus de creasing the number of police jurore, w magistrates and constables. The gen eral tendency would be to result in al gains in economy and simplicity. It is r evident that the population of the par ish does not Justify so many wards, tI and as for the ward officials, no neces sity exists for so 'many. The trend , everywhere is to reduce officers, in- B crease responsibility. It works else where. It would work in West Felic liana. S LODGE NOTES. • p Woodmen of the World.

We have no fault to find with such teachers, many of whom have rendered the state excel lent service; but we believe that Lou isiana men and women should answer the call of the schools and prepare themselves as teachers in such num bers that it will not be necessary to continue importing teachers. Let this million dollars remain in Louisiana. Young men and young women, go to the State Normal School at Natchi toches where experts are employed by the State for the sole purpose of train ing teachers, and there prepare your- a selves -for this important work. Ex clusive of books, the necessary ex penses for the six weeks' summer school are only $24; for the ten weeks' school, $88. WAKEFIELD NEWS. Rev. J. B.
