PROGRESS OF THE SCHOOL WORK.

Already gratifying progress has been
made in the work OF school organization
Since the adjournment of the Legislature
| nearly twenty Parish Boards OF Directors
have been appointed. and several more
have been chosen for incorporated towns
The State Superintendent has already en-
tered the field, in company with his DiVl-
sion superintendent, and intencs visiting
every important point in the State before
the close of the year. By this means ne
will learn the wants of each district, aud
the best means of meeting them.
Superin tendent McCleery, of the Fourth
Division, has already reached his field and
common ced work in good earnest On his
Recommendation board has just been ap-
pointed for Cnddo parish and one for the
city Of Shreveport
Superintendent Stoddard, of the Second
Division, has recommended boards for all
the parishes of his district. except one.
Superintendent Richardson, of the First
Division, is now on a tour through the
parishes OF his district, and expects to have
directors in each one before July. Super
intendent Wyly, of the Fifth School Di-
vision. has entered on his work with yigor.
Several of bis parishes have already or
gained, and are at work. Superintendent
Carter, of the Division OF New Orleans,
will enter upon his duties forthwith. The
! schools of his division have not passed
from the supervision of the old directors
| as yet, for the reason that the new city
board was not appointed till Tuesday
evening of this week. This board will
organize tomorrow evening, and will pro-
coed with its duties at once.
Mr.. Carter will then take the place now
occupied by MIR. ". o. Rogers, and will
be the busiest of all the superintendent
for some time to come.
g Sup erintendent Diossy, of the Third
| Divisi on, is travelling over the parishes OF
his division now, and is pushing on the
work of school reconstruction with
energy. Boards of Directors have just
been appointed for ST. Marys parish, St
Martin, st. Landry, Opelousas, Franklin,
Brashear City and other points. From
the reports we receive from the various
gentlemen selected TO carry the new
school law into effect we feel assured that
under Republican auspices, and before
this year closes, Louisiana will have
system of public education in full work
ing order.
| It is time that some attention should be
paid to the cause of public education in
this State. While the evils of slavery ex-
listed. comparatively few whites knew how
to read and write, and it was penal
offense to educate the colored element
But with the downfall of slavery, the
restoration Of the Union, purified and re-
constructed, it becomes the duty of the Re-
publican party TO see that education Is
made general and popular.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

A few days ago we suggested to the
freouenters of Carondelet street the pro-
priety of making use of the room of the
Board of Brokers as a place 1or the
transaction of business. We regret to see
that no disposition has, as yet, been mani
tested to adopt this suggestion probably
because the cool septentrional breezes
which have tempered the suns meridian

the street comparatively comfortable ant
endurable. When the norther ceases t.

The Farlor Concert

The second parlor concert under the direc'
ton at Mr. A. B. Chase, was given last night
before large and appreciative audience,
showing that the success achieved at the
first of these admirable musical festivals
is to be sustained throughout the series.
We have scarcely space or time to note each
excellence of the programme as it deserves,
but must, at least, pay tribute to the per.
Torrance of Miss Melanie May. This charm
ing artistic gains more and more in favor,
and is rapidly winning for herself the repu-
tation of the best pianist that has appeared
in New Orleans for years.
! Our readers shall have due notice when
the next parlor concert is to take place, as
we feel that they can not fail to take an in
terest in SO rare musical treat.

A Coon Work TO Be DoNE.-We take
pleasure in directing the attention of all
interested in Religious affairs, to the card OF
Rev. B. Wayne, pastor of the Presbyterian
church in Jefferson City, which will be
found in another column of our issue to.
day. His church building having become
almost untenable. and being also badly
located, it has been determined to remove
to a central position on. Napoleon avenue,
and erect decent houN of worship, The
ladies' of the congregation have gone to
work to raise the necessary funds and are
organizing a grand fair for that purpose,
which will commence on the second May
next; but as they are not many in number
nor rich in purse, they ask, through theil
pastor, for help from their brethren and
sisters of the city. We sincerely hope that
xhis request will not be in vain.

The hundreds of patents taken out in Eu'
