To the Hon. President and Members of
the Board of School Directors Of
Vermilion Parish.
Gentlemen beg leave to report
that I visited all the public schools
throughout the parish Of Vermilion
during the month of November and.
December, and found with but n or
two exceptions, teachers prompt In
their attendance and attentive TO their
duties.-the exceptions being where
teachers were somewhat late in their
arrival at the school, and in one ~
stance where the teacher was not Civ
ing that attention to the primary schol-
ars which | thought wal 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 near Grand Marais I'M the
LIST ward. The doors and windows to-
house heal Mr.. NJ. c. Broussard needs.
repairing. / would also suggest that If
this school was located elsewhere IN
this neighborhood, probably there
would be an increased attendance. I
also found the school at Perry in need
of another stoye-hue and blackboard,
which / ordered to be procured. The
window glass at the Mohton Cove
school are needing repairs very much,
as the putty which held them in has
fallen off.
