scented and read Circular b No. $50 from
State Superintendent, Robt. Nj. husher.
The previous action of the Board being
in conformity with sec. and 3 of said
circular no action was necessary.
That in the present embarrassed pecu-
MARY condition of the parish, We deem
it contrary to the Esprit Of reform" to
ask the police jury to levy the two mill
special tax, authorized by law, believing
that the school funds on band, and the
appointments regularly falling due,
will, if judiciously expended, keep the
schools open this and next year.
That while we fully appreciate the
benefit to he derived from the efforts OF
an energetic ''iuspector of all the schools
IN the parish who shall aid in the ex-
animation of teachers, visit and examine
each ward school frequently, counsel and
| instruct teachers as to the best mode of
advancing their pupils &c, whose COM
pensation shall be commensurate nth
the services rendered, we would respect
fully suggest, that our financial resour, es
will not permit Us at present, to employ
an inspector at the rate of $4,000 per
month for six months OF each year.
Resolued, That the Board answer tho
circular of state Snperin tendent r. Nj.
