ABBEvILLE, La, Jan. 3, 1891.
To the Hon. President and Members of
the Board of School Directors Of
Vermilion Parish.
Gentlemen 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 n 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.
airs which | thought was necessary.
The attendance Of the pupils has been
very irregular, probably owing to tho
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 near Mr.. M. C. Broussard needs
repairing. ] would also suggest that il
this school was located elsewhere in
this neighborhoed, probably there
would be an increased attendance. I
also found the school at Perry in need
of another steye-lue and blackboard,
which | ordered to be procured. The
window glass at the Mouton Cove
school are needing repairs very much,
as the putty which held them in has
fallen off.
Respectfully submitted,
j. N. WILLIAMS,
Parish Superintendent of Public Schools

Whereas the funds to the credit of
the I'd school district are so insignii-
cant that the board deems it unwise to
open other schools in SAID district at
present. Therefore be it resolved that
the schools that are now opened and
running in said district be continued so
long a time as the funds will allow,
with the understanding that those
schools which are now closed shall have
preference when schools are Feopeden
in said End district even if those schools
which are 10Y opened will have to re-
main closed.
On motion, a school war located near
the residence p. N. Broussard, in the
Sd ward, LIST district, provided the pa
irons furnish a suitable house with seats
