Note 207 — Chapter III
Reading edition
McMillan charged ineffectiveness of the law. “There is not in my whole parish, as far as I know, a single schoolhouse, no sirs, not even a shed devoted to educational purposes. There has not been a cent of the taxes raised for educational purposes expended in Carroll Parish since the war. We have a statute providing for a system of common school education, and under that superintendents have been appointed. The salary set apart for such officers has been punctually drawn.” House Deb., 1870, 115-16.
