PEBLIC SCHOOLS.

One of the drawbacks to the uuera-
ton of the public schools in Lafonfche
parish is found in the absolute ne
c~essity of maintaining 50 many schools
to enable all the children to have tie
privilege of attending. The baroH
dirides the parish from one end to the
other and often requires two schools
where one would suffice were it not
for this obstruction. Parents decline.
and wisely too. to send their children
across the bayou in skitfS, the danger
being too great to incur. Again the
EumerouS interior settlements. are 50
many, that require schools where on
~ II comparatively small number of
pupils live near enough to attend.
The superintendent reports that
there were 81 free schools for white
children and 10 for colorcd children
The calored people being very few IL
the interior naighhorhoods, and the
lower portion of the parish require
less schools, than the whites.
The superintendent says that "thc
total enrolment Of pupils for 1899.
was 20I0 an increase of few hun
dred over previous years.
He says that there are children of
school age in the parish to the num-
Der of 1922. Deducting 361 who at
tend private schools, less than so per
cent of the children enrolled attend
schools.
This does not signify that one half
of the children do not attend school.
Many of them stop when they become
large enough to work, having been to
school perhaps four or FIVE sessions.
1t is probable that Is per cent of all
children white and colored can read
and write and have made some pro-
gress in arithmetic and geography.
This percentage would be greatly
reduced if it we're not the fact that
there are a great many children in the
parish who are practically deprived OF
the benefit of education because they
are too far from any school house
which they might attend.
Were it possible to have them all
within reach of some school there
would not be 10 per cent of children
now growing up who would not, at
least, have education enough to
read and write with ease.
Taking everything into considera-
ton, considering the drawbacks and
opposition which the parish school
boards have met, remembering that a
great many children cannot speak or
understand the English language, the
public schools in this parish have been
of immense good to the rising genera
ton, and have accomplished as much,
as csuld be reasonably be expected Of
them.

THE CROP

Much curiosity and interest is felt
by planters as TO the effect that the
remarkably warm winter now in
progress may have upon the cane crop
Of 1890. The City Item of New Or
leans has been examining a diary,
kept by the late Valcour Anne of St.
James Parish, who was one of the
most suceessfu! planters of his period.
His diary run from 1923 to 1856, and
WIS kept with great care and vigilance.
The following extract is taken from
the ITEM:
An examination of this diary shows
thar only two winters III the record of

The following eNtract ftom the diary
will prove of special interest:

parish Of St. Charles. ground 166 ar

made 700 hogsleads of sugar. and that

March, when ice formed throughout
the sugar region, Il light freeze occur
ring on the 21st. 22d and 23d. The
cane iii some of the upper parishes was
cut down, but no injury resulted and
the crop of that year was very fine.
We can n0t find an instance in the
past sixty-six years, as far back It's tire
go, where early cane was Sc
damaged by cold, and we think
planters can look forward with
absolute certainty to a big crop this
year.

Dedicated 20 God.

On one Of the brightest and most
beautiful Sundays Of the season and at
Washingtons most attractive suburban
village, Mount Pleasant, the Howard
Avenue Congregational Church was
dedicated TO the service Of God with ap
propriate exercises. On the platform
were the pastor, Rev. Charles II. Small,
Rev. Or. s. NJ Newman, pcstor Of the
District First Congregational Church.
and DR. ]. +. Rankin. president Of
Howard Universiy. The dedicatory
sermon was delivered by De. Rankin,
who said the Church Is the place iu
which God meets His people. In the
eternal world, however, there Is no
temple, for there man shall see God and
commune with Him In endless love and
peace. DR.. Newman also made a few
remarks and a dGdlCatory prayer. The
building II pretty one story frame one,

and Mr. Small has been the pastor from
the date of It's formation.
