the minutes.
ABBEv1LLE, LA, January 5, 1889.
To the Hon. President and Members of
the Board Of School Directors of the
parish of Vermilion:
Gentlemen-I hereby submit this my
report as to condition of the public
schools of this parish. I commenced
my round Of inspection on November
rs, 1855, by visiting the Lake Arthur
school, taught by Miss NJ. L. Graham,
and although not having as large an
attendance as I would wish to see, yet
in other respects / found it in thriv-
ing condition. next visited the
school in Latiolais cove, N. d. Bourne,
teacher, which l am sorry to say, l
found just the opposite of the former,
the house being in dilapidated condi-
ton and the children having made
very little progress, ! therefore ordered
it closed. next visited the school
at Lower Bayou Queue Tortue, NJ. M.
Hartman, teacher, but found it SO ir-
regularly attended, and the house in
such bad condition, that l thought it
advisable to close it for the present un-
til the board will take some action
relative to having the house re-
paired. The school at Indian Bayou
| found to be we'll and regularly attend
ed, in fact, it has outgrown the school
house to such an extent that the board
will haveto take some action relative /
to enlarging it, ere the teacher is crowd
ed out The school at j. J. Abshire,
Jr., l found to be in good condition,
moderately we'll attended, and the
teacher exerting himself to make it a |
success The school on Grand Marais,
LIST ward, was well attended, yet the
