INTERESTING LETTER FROM GRAND coTEAU


The closing exercises and the distribution of
premiums at the Jesuits College of ST. Charles
took place on the 31st ult. Feast of St. Ignatius
The play of "Measure for Measure" arranged
from Shakespeare for the boys, was Witnessed
by large number of people. The distribution
of characters was as follows:
vicenzio. Duke of Vienna c. Jordan
Escaus his Counsellor ..-.-..--..--....M. O'Bren
Peiesi Friar ..-... 1900. ~ l. Robin
cisudius q Anderson
LaeiO Faataste ocOnno
FrotS. Foolish Gentlemen Mc1ntyfe
S1ios
Provost. Robin
1t was followed by very amusing French
piece, in which the chief characters were
tanned by Messrs. J. Robin, L. Sicily and C.
Duhon. Both pieces were very creditably per-
formed and the audience was delighted. There
Is about the boys freedom from affectation, a
modesty and manliness very pleasant to see.
On Thursday, 10th inst, the venerable Father
Abadie celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of
his entrance into the Society of Jesus The
occasion was marked by grand High Mass at
o'clock A. NJ, attended by o crowded and af.
fectionate congregation. Besides the Rev.
Jesuit Fathers, there were present in the
sanctuary about dozen priests from the
neighboring parishes. An eloquent discourse,
appropriate to the occasion, was delivered by
the Rev. Father Gonnellaz, parish priest of
Lafayette, which moved to tears many who are
not accustomed to give way to such evidences
OF JOY and happiness. An elegant dinner fol-
lowed in due time, at which were present as
honored guests many old time pupils of St.
Charles College. 1t was truly delightful oc-
oaslon-one never to be forgotten By those who |
we're present. Frequently during the day the |
good old man was affected to tears by the IN
expected happiness prepared for him by the
affection of his brethren.
About mile from the College is situated the
Convent of tho Sacred Heart-a fiue brick
building surrounded by handsome, we'll shaded
grounds-a retired and holy spot. It was here
that Blessed John Berchmans, q few years ago,
appeared to young lady who was at the point

From, the County Superintendent

En-. EAGLE-It is great misfortune 10 the
interests of schools that our Legislature was
so sbort-sighted last winter asto refuse 10 vote
an appropriation for the purpose OF the puo-
LEGATION OF the school laws, imagining that thi>
was rctrenchnent and reform, The result Is
that many of our District Boards are without
n single copy OF the school laws, and yet they
are expected to obey them. Early last fall
ordered a supply of the laws from the state
Superintendent. and was informed by him
tina. he could not send any, as he had just ior-
ty copies left to distribute over the whole
State. District officers will have TO get along
as best they can without, and we VIII nope
that our Legislature this winter will take a
wiser stand Than did the last one.
We have been wondering whether our school
officers were aware that we have compulsory
education law in force in this State, and that
the parents or guardians OF children oil scnool
ace who keep their children out OF school, be-
como liable 10 fine. Ii is made the duty OF
District Boards to see that this law Is executed,
and we hope .hey will not neglect so impor-
tant duty as this one. The idea OF the Leg
stature in enactiBg this law was to prevent
the children of our State from growing up IN
ignorance believing that it would not only be
an Injustice to the children themselves. but
that The perpetmiy OF free institutions de-
maud. that we educate the rising generation.
We are glad to be able TO say that parents are
in nearly every neighborhood in the county,
willing and anxious TO send their children to
school. if there is a school in session within a
convenient distance. There are exceptions
TO this rule. however and we trust the proper
officers viii not be derelict IN their duty in
this matter. We take it for granted that al
admit the Importance of the subject and thai
the education OF their children is one OF tht
most important of duties. 1t should be re
membered. too, that there is a critical time II
the life of every child and If it is kept out o
school at that time, il is apt 10 lose interest il
schools and educational matters, and its whol'
after life will be condemnation Of the course
of its parents in throwing obstacles in the wal
OF its acquiring an education.
Another matter we would like to call atten
ton to, is that the school laws make it the du
ty of the District Boards to adopt uniform
series of text books for the school in their dis
trict. Many districts n the county have al
ready adopted books, and we are gratifed t
be able to say that, with very few exceptions
they have adopted the series recommended b.
the examining board. With uniform serie
OF books in a school. the teacher can do mucl
more in a gwen time, than withoutit. In fac
we believe that the pupils OF a school proper
" graded and classified will learn enoug
more than they would without a unilor = SC
ries Of Docks, to pay for the extra cost OF tn
books. School boards ought to lose no tim
IN taking action upon this subject, for IT is
vital one TO the prosperity of the commo
schools. j. l.. ZIMMERMAN,
County Superintendent.
