THE CARNIVAL OF 1902, No carnival has ever been celebrated with more pomp and gorgeousness than the one which has just been numbered in history among the things that were. The weather, which at one time threatened to mar the hap-j py occasion by its ugly freaks, was springlike e and balmy, and everything combined to make the event a pleasant and memorable one. f The celebration of the carnival season in this country is a peculiar Southern, and we may say Louisiana custom. New Orleans, a since the earliest years of its existence, has always remembered Shrove Tutsday and d make it the occasion for sports and merry making. Its celebrations of the day now ex cel those of Europe. B Thibodaux several years ago began to take part in the festivities of Shrovetide, and as Shakespeare terms it, "went a ahroving through the city," and under the manage- a ment of its Carnival Club, composed of many of its best citizens, have since observed the day every year. Thousands of visitors are c attracted to our town by the brilliant pa- t geants witnessed here, and our people are y kept home to enjoy the scemes and incidents 11 of the day together. L The visitors are loud in praise of this a year's parade, and from many we have heard the expression that "they will retrn again." p We commend the efforts of our Carnival o Club, and the good that is done our town by these yearly parades will long be felt. It shows besides a spirit of push and thrift and enterprise which is truly commendable. As these happy occasions are roorded among past events a new life enters li our midst, one which presages plenty and pros perity and happiness to our people. BLIZZARDS-SNOW-SLEET, a The reports throughout the country show d more storms than ever were witnessed for e years. The North has suffered considerably from blim rds, and the Southern States have I had a surfeit of sleet and mow storms. We > have had bat a light touch of the ugly weath- h er In our section but enough to satisfy us. We do not feel like imitating Oliver Twist ti and asking for more. We have enough.

I LET US HAVE RES5T. The country is now enjoying some rest. This must be our Christmas gift from on High and we should appreciate it. For the irst time in many years there is nothing on : the tapis to excite or worry the people. We Fbe Tni have gone through an eventful experience of late years. What, with the blowing up of 1 m'"` the battle ship Maine in Havana harbor four years ago today, has occurred, would 8ll volumes. A great deal of history has been written. Enough transpired to furnish it. The people contending with mighty prob d with lems, had a right to expect internal peace, I e oe fbut such was not the case. We have had istory more wars, more genuine trouble at home, iathr, than with the Spaniards, the Fillipinos or he hap- the Chinese. The round robin of Roosevelt, nglike embalmed beef, Eagan's episode. McKinley's assassination, Roosevelt's accession, Scbley's orableI Inquiry and many others, have well nigh set our people wild. They are ready to fight, o I like the Wrench of old at the sound of the nd we Marseillaise, at the the drop of the hat. We 4 leans, are a peaceful people and have so far kept our peace, but like the religious man when and driven to the wall, "we bedanined if we can stand it any longer." mierr So we need rest. We most have rest, or something will break loose in Georgia. Some one started the controversy about e, and the Panama and Nicaragua canals. We hope they will agree at the start. We must have roving ae- a canal acroes the isthmus, but let us have M y the canal and not a discussion that will in ýd the volve us into appointing a court of inquiry to rs are consider de Lesseps speculations and right to it pa- the Panama concern. We do not care where e are you dig it, so you dig it. We are somewhat . idents like Bryan's irishman, when asked which he t favored gold or silver, answered : "I, having F this neither will take ether." heard It was Grant who said, "Let us haven gain." peace," and we must add at this day on this rnival occasion, "Let us have rest." N wa by It It THE TEACHERS INSTITUTES. ft and On the 17th of this month Institutes for1 orded the beneft of teachers will be held here in k our Thibodaux. We would advise not only all pr the teachers throughout our parish but the teachers from adjoining sister parishes to avail themselves of this opportunity to im prove their methods of teaching. The show diloulties which the teacher' has to daily j for encounter in the prosecution of his duties rably are many, and he should continually strive t have to acquaint himself with the most approved We methods to obviate them. The Institutes . reath. have that end in view. Erroneous methods -ý fy au of instruction will not impart that rapid men w tal growth which is so desired; and, in conse quence, certain "preparation and study in r enr regard to the branches taught and the best . an methods of instruction are indispensably ags necessary in order to render the teachers services truly valuable. The American Journal of Education has this to say on the subject: : It has been estimated that more than one - ie Pa- third of our teachers are beginners; that is, they have taught but little, and that a still Itelarger per cent of the recruits are unprepared mend- for the work. Young men will prepare them itates selves in a limited manner. They will apply Itats for and secure schools. This is being done, et-and we have seen no decree requiring its iln-stoppage. Now, the facts are these. It de- a Phil- mands teachers of good minds who have care- is I and fully prepared themselves for the work, to back glean from our text-books the p roper subject matter, and to- so present it that the mind if the will be most easily and readily developed, Coro- and thereby empowered to think, speak and Busi- act in after life; but a very large per cent of cr !the teachers in this country are beginners pro- unprepared for the work; hence it is evident th merce that some instrumentality of preparation is tand of the greatest importance. uner [' be The Thibodaux Sentinel notes "that'* fthe some of the country papers are still harpingt on the gubernatorial question" snd exclaims: "Why this should be troubling them to such' E ,atedi a considerable extent is beyond our compre.I asthension." Heretofore such a little thing as H thtthe election of a governor has not worried thtthe newspapers and it is uatural for our es-D "her teemed contemporary to wonder what all this Ly of fuss is about. For some time it seems to at it have been the business of the editor to join the shouters after the nomination, and to reen maintain a dignifed silence until the ticket San- is made up.-Lafayette Gazette. Sbe -You are right, brother. Mouton, but this [Af 13n- time we must do some shouting before the tain nomination, We only suggested that the X)f-agitation of the question now was premature. hes, In due time we want you and our other ha.friends of the prees to take hold of the matter inel jand see if we cannot be heard with no uncer uide tain sounds.
