To the Hon. President and Members OF
the Board of School Directors Of
Vermilion Parish.
Gentlemen-I beg leave to report
that | visited. all the public schools
throughout the parish of Vermilion
during the month of November and
December, and found with but one or
two exceptions, teachers prompt i'm
their attendance and attentive to their
duties.-the exceptions being where
teachers were somewhat late in their
arrival at the school. and in one in
stance where the teacher was not Civ
ing that attention to- the primary schol-
ars which | thought was necessary.
The attendance of the pupils has been
very irregular, probably owing to the
harvesting OF the crops. There are
some repairs needed on the school prop
erty, especially the fencing around the
school house neal Grand Marais in the
LIST ward. The doors and windows to
house neal Mr.. nj. C. -Broussard needs,
repairing. | would also suggest that if
this school was located elsewhere iii
this neighborhood, probably there
would be an increased attendance. /
also found the school at Perry in need
of another stoTe-hue and blackboard,
which / ordered to be.procMed. The
window glass at the Mouton Cove
school are needing repairs very much,
as the putty which held them in has
fallen of.
Respectfully submitted,
jim. WILLIAMS,
Parish Superintendent of Public Schools.
