VOL. XXXIX.
AN UNDEFILED HERITAGE.
Father in heaven, who lovest all.
Oh, help thy children when they call;
That they may build from age to age
An undeliled heritage.
Teach us to rule ourselves always,
Controlled and cleanly night and day;
That we may bring. if need arise,
No maimed or worthless sacrifice.
Teach us to look, in all our ends,
On Thee for Judge, and not our friends;
That we with Thee may walk unco wed
By fear or favor of the crowd.
Teach us the strength that cannot seek
By deed or thought to hurt the weak;
That, under Thee, we may possess
Man's .strength to comfort man's distress.
Teach us delight in simple things,
And mirth that has no bitter springs;
Forgiveness free of evil done,
And love to all men 'ncath the sun.
Uudyard Kipling.
Why Everybody Wanted Grace
"Girls, won't one of you bring in
the evening paper?" said grandpa.
There was hardly a moment's pause
before Giace went to the piazza for
the paper and pi. iced it open and
smooth upon the old gentleman's
knee. "Mattie, please bring my scissors from the sewing-room," says
mamma. "O Grace, you do; I'm all
nict'ly seated no\v," and Grace leaves
her piano practice and goes for the
scissors."I'apa wants one of you to take a
note to Deacon Lewis, girls: which
will go!"
"Oh, I don't want to, mamma," says
Mattie. "Oh, I wanted to read my
new book," says Grace, "but 1 will go
for papa."
"1 want to take one of the girls
home with me for the holidays," said
the girls' aunt. "Which can you best
spare?"
"Oh, Mattie, by all means. Grace
is our household comfort and solace,"
said the mother. "LJut which would
you rather take?"
' 1 hoped you might choose to let me
have Grace. 1 really want her, and
I think, sister, she needs and deserves
the outing."
BATON ROUGE, LA., MAY 1, 1919.

So Mattie stayed at home, and
pouted and said it wasn't fair, and
wondered why "everybody always
wanted Grace."
The girl who is thoughtful and obliging, is the one that is wanted at
home, at, school everywhere. No
one wants the girl who is always
seeking to please herself. Child's

the deaf as well as from the public
schools.) Then the draft took a few
more.
Greater inducements in business or
other professions further depleted the
ranks. The government service offered special inducements to women
workers and great numbers of them
left the school room to take up better
paying, if not more congenial, employment. As a result the public
schools have been having as hard a
time to get teachers as the schools for
the deaf.
UQ
Sit Tight
A period of unemployment and high
prices is now upon us. As usual during the reconstruction period following armed conflict of any magnitude,
many people will not be able to find
work wherewith to feed and clothe
themselves and those dependent upon
them. With practically all the world
affected by the titanic struggle just
ended, the distress occasioned by business disturbances, unemployment
and social unrest will become widespread.
It therefore behooves the deaf in
every line of employment to look well
to their future, and to stick to their
lasts. Changing of occupation, and
shifting from one locality to another is
unwise at this time. We would advise
those so inclined to stay where they
are and make the most of their present
opportunities. It is very often hard
enough for the deaf to make a favorable impression upon employers, and
during a period surli us that now facing the world it will be harder still to
obtain a new foothold in the workaday
world. Don't become a lloater. The
only Hying squadron you should aspire
to join is that at Goodyear. Kschew

If you should become a filleted with social unrest, get rid of the virus at the

How About the Future?
First the olUcers' training camps
took away a number of the men
teachers from the schools (schools for
In New York above 400 vacancies
have occurred and the ratio is even
greater in other cities; while many of
the country schools have had to close.
Considering the constant decrease
in the purchasing power of a dollar
during the past four years this is not
to be wondered at. It is a self-perservation. It is greater wonder that
more of them have not left the profession.
The Satnr<l<iy Evening Font makes
the following remarks in explanation:
"Only habit, or investment in technical training and experience and, no
doubt, inclination and hope of better
conditions, could have held so many
teachers to their jobs when other jobs
were ottering all the way from f>0 to
100 per-cent greater pay." The more
serious aspect of the problem, however, is looking to the future. With
no better inducements to offer in comparison with other opportunities how
many young men or women will be
tempted or even persuaded to enter
the
profession? In the normal
department at Gallaudet College, for
instance, no young man has been
graduated from there for several
years. Tlir Ihtwkcyt.
Farmers all over the south are

it would seem, must settle this question for himself.

AH we read the above we feel like
congratulating ourselves upon the
escape we had from the dread dis­
ease. The Louisiana Scliool was one
of the very, very few that passed
through the trying period without a
single case in its midst. At the be-
ginning of the spread of the disease
which, by the way, was bad at Baton
Rouge, Supt. Huc.kahy instituted ev­
ery precaution to prevent its spread
here by having all officers and teach­
ers living within to remain: those liv­
ing outside the limits were required
to have their temperature tested and
anyone showing (he slightest symp­
tom of illness was requested to re­
main away. We were thus enabled
to close school on time in the Fall
and to send every one away in the
"pink of health."

THE NEXT REUNION.
The President has so far received
only one written comment upon the
proposition for holding the next Re­
union -from John Otice Hebert, who
thinks it .should be held at Baton
Rouge but makes no mention of the
date. In personal interviews mem­
bers in New Orleans believe the con­
vention should be held in New Or­
leans where a much clearer under­
standing of the Deaf among the hear­
ing employeis is desired.
None is more anxious for the hold­
ing of the next reunion at the earl­
iest date possible than your Presi­
dent but his attention has been called
to several facts which must not be
overlooked. It is true the war is
over, but abnormal conditions contin­
ue. The Victory Liberty Loan is go­
ing to hit us harder than previous
loans. Tin 1 railroad rates are as
high as ever. The high cost of liv­
ing must be considered and these are
times when it \\ill be a hardship up­
on tile Loeal Committee to get up en­
tertainments for the visitors. How­
ever, these abnormal conditions will
not be changed for many a day yet
hence the Fourth Reunion might as
well be held at some early date.
Those, matters will come up before
the Executive Committee which will
be asked on May 'Jo to decide what
shall be done.
U. L. TRACY,
President, L. A. I).
Mr. Charles P. Gillott. who was
once a teacher here but for the past
several years superintendent of the
Illinois School for the Deal, has ten­
dered his resignation and will devote
all his attention to his farms — one in
Illinois and theotherin Florida. Thus
the profession has lost another tried
educator of the deaf.

CHAPTER, GALLAUDET COLLEGE
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Thursday evening, April -J4, the
members of the Gallaudet College
Alumni Association and local deaf
residents held a business meeting in
the parlor of the School. H. L.
Tracy, '°0, the retiring president,
made a few remarks concerning the
Chapter,-its past usefulness and
future prospects. Although the num­
ber of members has dwindled consid­
erably it was unanimously decided to
keep the Chapter in existence.
The following ne'.v officers were
elected, each by acclamation: Miss
Amy Fowler, 'l(i, President. Mr. A.
.1. Sullivan, 'U(>, Vice-President, and
Mr. H. L. Tracy. 'UO, SecretaryTreasurer.
The following members of the
Chapter were present: Mr. and Mrs.
Tracy, Mr. and Mrs
Gaionnio,
Misses Fowler and Hauborg and
Messrs. Sullivan and Goodwill.
Comments were made upon the
retiring presidents'talk anent pledges
to the Kdward Miner Gallandet
Memorial Fund. It was found most,
if not all, have pledged themselves to
contribute at least $f)() each.
Adjournment was taken to meet the
following Thursday with President
Fowler as hostess at the School.
