T. H. Harris
Thomas H Harris (March 26, 1869 – February 24, 1942) was the dominant figure in Louisiana public education in the first half of the 20th century through his role as the state school superintendent from 1908-1940.
==Early years and education==
Christened Lee Marcus Harris, he became legally known as Thomas H Harris; as with Harry S Truman, the middle initial stood for nothing. He was born four years after the end of the American Civil War in the Arizona community of Claiborne Parish in north Louisiana, a son of a Baptist minister, the Reverend Austin Dabney Harris, and the former Rebecca Amaretta Flovilla Milner, known as Rettie Harris. He briefly attended the former Arizona Academy conducted by his father. In 1889, at the age of twenty, Harris enrolled for eight months in the former Lisbon Academy in the Lisbon community in Claiborne Parish. From 1891-1892, he attended the former Homer College in Homer, the parish seat of Claiborne Parish. Thereafter, he taught school in Claiborne and Winn Parish, the latter the ancestral home of the Long political dynasty. Thereafter, in the fall of 1893, Harris enrolled at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, then known as "Louisiana Normal."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thomas H Harris )〕〔Much of the brief biography of Harris by the Louisiana Historical Association is derived from Rodney Cline, ''Pioneer Leaders and Early Institutions in Louisiana Education'', 1969.〕
Thereafter, Harris was the assistant principal at Central High School in Lake Charles, the seat of Calcasieu Parish in southwestern Louisiana. While teaching in Winnsboro, the seat of Franklin Parish south of Monroe, he married the former Minnie Earle and converted to the Methodist denomination. The couple had one child, Sadie Grace. In 1897, Harris was again on the move, for he was named principal of St. Landry High School in Opelousas in St. Landry Parish. He also studied and taught part-time at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge at that time. Minnie died in 1899. The next year, he wed the former Mary Elizabeth Blackshear Evans, a widow with three small sons. In 1900, he briefly attended the University of Chicago, and in 1901 he studied for a summer session at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.〔
In 1903, he was named the principal of the large Baton Rouge High School. He also found time to take law courses at the Louisiana State University Law Center. For a time, he left professional education and sold life insurance. Then, he was appointed state education superintendent in August 1908. Oddly, he did not finally receive his Bachelor of Arts degree from LSU until 1922. He procured the Master of Arts, also from LSU, in 1924. He received an honorary doctor of laws degree from LSU in 1935.〔
