st. James, La, July 2Sth., 1877.
To the lloli. the President and mem
hers OF the School Board OF the
Parish of st. James:
CONFERENCE.-THE undersignedres-
pcctiully beg leave to submit to
your honorable body the following
report of the condition of the Public
School in this the 9th. ward of
st. James Parish:
We have only visited the school
once. and for Il short time only. AS
we'll us we car judge from this sin
Gle, imperfect inspection, it appears
to be conducted in a satisfactory
manner. Discipline and a strict com
pliancc with the teachers prrccptS
and orders, seem to be ri9idly en-
forced.
The School has IL pupils, with
sufficient room and desks to accom-
o'latc at least 20 more.
The building requires repairs,
which can be made at Il tritling eN-
pcnSe.
We have investigated the alledg-
cd refusal OF the principal to recei-
We the children OF CHARLES Prestley.
He informed us that he had declin-
ed to admit them becatlse lie thought
he had no right to do SO. We have
shown I'm his error, ard lie now
says that lie will take them when
ever the parents desire.
We enclose IL list of necessary
school books, which lie has furnish
ed us.
We intend again to visit the
school shortly, and will then make
such further report as we may deem
proper.
Respectfully submitted,
+. Chopin.
