THE SCHOOL TAX.
From Patterson Tribune:
The Parish School Board is facing
the probability of running the
sehool term six and two-thirds
months, instead of the usual nine
months, owing to insufficient funds.
This is a deplorable fact and one
which only the qualified electors of
St. Mary are able to remedy. The
board has called a special election
for November 13th for the purpose
of voting a one and one-half mill
tax for the continuance of the ses
sion. And in a time when educa
tion has become the main factor of
success, it behooves every man qual
ified to vote to do so willingly and
without regret. The coming gener
ation needs all of the advantages de
rived from education. It would se
riously impair the children of today
to have their term shortened. One
of the severest handicaps they would
be a six months session. If there is
the slightest shortening of the school
term, we shall find St. Mary in a
few years with a generation of in
competents.
All parishes and states are yearly
improving the standard of their
schools, St. Mary, is no exception,
but if the proposition of an added
mill and one-half tax upon property
valuation is not carried through then
the schools of St. Mary will begin to
retrogress. Therefore every effort
should be made to bring the educa
tional machinery of St. Mary's Par
ish to a greater degree of effective
ness, fitting our boys and girls to the
new necessities of war time indus
tries.
eW cannot afford to stint their
training. Let every voter in St.
Mary, help to keep our schools at
the top notch of efficiency.

farmer, and it is only by having
roads fit to use at any season that
this trouble and annoyance can be
obviated. In hundreds of instances
just the wear and tear alone on
vehicles and automobiles will more
than pay the small tax asked annu
ally.

President Fixes October
28 As Day Of Prayer
For Success Of Ame
rican Arms In The
War
Was Requested By Congress
BY THE PRESIDENT OF
UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA
THE
A Proclamation.
Whereas the Congress of the Uni
ted States, by a concurrent resolu
tion adopted on the 4th day of the
present month of October, in view
of the entrance of our Nation into
the vast and awful war which now
afflicts the greater part of the
world, has requested me to set apart
by official proclamation a day upon
which our people should be called
upon to offer concerted prayer to
Almighty God for His divine aid in
the success of our arms;
And whereas it behooves a great
free people, nurture*' as we have
been in the eternal j^nciples of jus
tice and of right, a Nation which has
sought from the earnest days of ex
istence to be obedierlt to the divine
teachings which have inspired it in
the exercise of its liberties, to turn
always to the Supreme Master and
cast themselves in faith at His
feet, praying for His aid and succor
in every hour of trial, to the end
that the great aims to which our
fathers dedicated our power as a
people may not perish among men,
but be always asserted and defended
with fresh ardor and devotion and,
through the divine blessing, set at
last upon enduring foundations for
the benefit of all the free peoples of
the earth:
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wil
son, President of the United States,
gladly responding to the wish ex
pressed by the Congress, do appoint
October 28, being the last Sunday of
the present month, as a day of sup
plication and prayer for all the peo
ple of the Nation, earnestly ex
horting al my countrymen to ob
serve the appointed day, according
to their several faiths, in solemn
prayer that God's blessing may rest
upon the high task which is laid up
on us, to the end that the cause for
which we give our lives and treasure
may triumph and our efforts be
blessed with high achievement.
In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be af
fixed.
Done in the District of Columbia
this nineteenth day of October in
the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and seventeen, and
of the independence of the United
States of America the one hundred
and forty-second.
(Seal) WOODROW WILSON.
