Meeting called to order by Supt.

Singing had been arranged for, but
owing to the fact that some of those
who had been expected to sing were
absent it was postponed until after
noon.
The first topic taken up was Gram
mar, by Miss Ida Tabor. She would
begin grammar in the Primary Form
by engaging the pupils in easy con-
versation on very familiar subjects.
The substance of the conversations
she would have reproduced in writing
by the pupils. These reproductions
should be examined, criticised and
talked over by the pupils and teacher.
Sentence building should have a large
place in the Form. Rules for capital
letters, the interrogation point and the
period should now be learned. In the

'A'he Atchafasaysa Question.
rointe Coupee Banner.

| It is beyond our comprehension tn
understand why any public servant OF
! Louisiana or any Journal published in
this State should advocate the destruc-
ton OF amy one OF our navig;Ible
streams, as the Times Democrats and
Congressman Blanchard are doing in
regard TO the Atchafalaya. We say
that their conrse lis beyond our colDpre-
| hension, because our whole people are
crying out for cheap transportation,
and are begging OF Congress To make
liberal appropriations for the improve
mcnt Of the navigation of our various
water ways. so that the people will not
be left tn the lnercy of eNtorCionate
railroad corporations, which are ever
ou the H'crE TO exact the last pound Of
flesh where they aro not confronted
; with competition from water transport
tatlon routes. 1t is we'll known that
the Atcl,atala,a now furnishes to IL
large portion of this State. facilities for
/ travel and freight transportation which
are cheap, compared with railroad rates :;
and it is furthermore we'll known that
at Il comparatively small cost to the
United States Government the Atchafa-
laya, throughout its whole length, from
its head where it receives the waters of
the Red and Ouachita Rivers, to the
Gulf, could be made one OF the finest
and most useful streams for tile pnr-
poses OF navi gatiop III tie South.
Ii is true. tho Times Democrat says,
the navigation OF Bayou Tcchc can be
preserved by opening Bayou Plaque
mine. But rs tor Us we see no reason
why both the Atchafalaya and Bayou
PlaqueniIne should NOT he left open
and improved. Such Il course would
certainly rebound tn the general well
fare OF the State, as it would give in.
creased facilities, for navigation and
reduce freight rates. II the people of
New Orleans have any zeal fears nf the
Mississippi going down tlie Archafalaya,
that difficulty can easily he Dbviat.,l by
divorcing Red River from the NIisSis-
slppI at the present connection, as was
advised by the River Commission, and
simultaneously. or even before, open
and clean out Bayou Plaqutmine.
This would in nu mnnncr interfere
with the navigation OF Red and Ouachi-
ta Rivers, for it there is any difference
the route to the Red and Ouachita,
from New Orleans is shorter by way of
Bayou Plaqucnline and the Atclafa-
laya than it is BY way of the Mississippi
and Old River.
1t the desire of the Times Democrat
aud Nr. Blanchard for the closin. of
the Alchafalaya is to be accomplished,
what is ~ become of the Alrhafalaya
for purposes nf navigation above the
junction ot the BaNou Paqneminc,
even it This latter stream is opene,
and lnIp,oved lu the interest OF
cheap trc.h and free navigation We
protest against the closing of the
Atciat,llHya. Heretofore. We have EN-
tered usr protest against its being
closed BECAUSE we solcmnly believe
that if it is closed the danger of ever
