GUI0N ACADEMY.
To the editor of the SENTINEL:

10 the editor of the SENTINEL:
We hear with dismay that th,
Board of School Directors conten
plate keeping the Guion Academ,
closed until the first Of January, b,
cause, fcrsooth !! the special tax lie,
led by the Town Council for the RI
lief of the school will not be collet
ted before December, or, perhaps
January.
1t tue Board put this plan into
execution, it will work IA great hard
ship to many worthy citizen, and
taxpayers who have not the means
of sending their children to pay
schools. The execution OF the plan
would demoralize the teachers 1--WE
all know what that means) and
God knows! what with long vaca
tons and what with double work to
give concerts. theirs is not an en-
vlable lot it would break up class
es which the teachers have sue
ceeded at last, with much exertion
in getting fairly started on the
road that leads to distinction it
would throw back the one hundred
and fifty children whose foster moth
er the Academy is, at least one wear
in their studies, and it would be
such a blow to the old institute as
it has not received since the DAYS
Qf corruption and m~isrule, when
public education in Lafourche was
a delusion and a farce.
We hope, then, MI. Editor, that
you, who are ever ready to cham
pion the cause of Justice, will ex
plain to the Board, through the me
dunn of the SENTINEL, that the
teachers ARE willing to work on
credit, for three months (the length
OF time the special tax will main
tain the school, and that the most
feasible plan, the only practicable
one, is to re open the school Sep
TENDER l, for a period of three
months, anl January l, for such u
length of time as the parish may be
able to maintain it.
With this hope, Mr.. Editor, we
are, very respectfully youls,
MANY PARENTS.

ST. VALERIE SCHOOL.

The attendance on last Tuesday at
the annual exercises of St.. Valerie
School was, if possible more numer
Gus than ordinarily-despite the
snltry weather.
The ceremonies, commencing
with the Introductory discourse d.
livered by the little Miss Henriette
BoudTeaux aud ending with the val
edictory pronounced by the demi-
nature Miss Josephine Bouterie,
were very creditable.
The National anthem. a new fea
ture, not introduced before, was
we'll rendered. In this the entire
school took part, and each scholar
vas the bearer Of a miniature Ma
tional flag which rendered the
scene effect very beautiful, besides,
being a display of patriotic senti
ment.
The scholars showed that they
were we'll up in their studies, and
the exercises which were in french
and english alternately, proved
them to be perfectly at home ia
both languages.
AS a preparatory school, the
Misses Naqnin have established
quite IA reputation for their st. Val
erie institution. There Is to be az
quired all CT the rudiments ola sol
id practical instruction and the NOR
al tone which it imparts is one of it's
rarest qualities. Parents know
this, and this is just why, this
school enjoys such popularity and
meets with such generous patron
age.
st. Valerie school will resume its
classes in early September.
