Proceedings of the Teachers In

Paul Breaux.
The minutes of the previous meeting were

The committee appointed to draft su:,a-
BILE rules and regulations made their report
which was duly adopted.
The subject of teaching French in the
public schools was ably discussed by Prof.
Philip Martin, who read interesting es-
say upon the question. Pertinent remarks
were offered by others upon same sub
ject.
The question elbow to interest lazy pupils
was then presented by Profs. w. G. Webb
and Hugh Wagner, who gave many pract-
cal hints to the best method of arousng
the mental activities of pupils.
The question els co-ecucation desirable
or proper was postponed until next meeting.
The following subjects were allotted for
the next meeting: tExplanation of the least
common multiple and the greatest common,
eiivisor," by Prof. !. Fletcher: s'Rest

old girl call her an ugly rane-a
name too ugly to so in print. And
I never heard the mother correct
the child. Yet she expects her lit
tie daughter to become a chaste and
lovable young woman, and marry
some nice young man.
I know a father who drinks and
CANDLES. But he don't want his
sons to do SO. He wants them to
be model young men.
Some parents send their darling
children to school and tell the teach
er to correct them if they need it.
But they are very careful to tell the
teacher of Bill Bully's s'bad boy" or
s'tom-boy" girl.
The teacher who has won the love
of his pupils, usually, can control
them. But when the neighbOrs are
''cross" and finding fault with each
other prevails, when long-tongued
men, and women, tongued-tied wo
men-tied in the middle and let
loose at both ends-talk and talk
and bemean and bemean each other
there trouble in the ''camp" there's
but little peace in the community.
They can see their neighbours fault
not theio own. They talk of their
neighbours children mischief, but
don't think theirs would be guilty of
wrong.
Go it teacher, go it! Be not dcs-
pendent Guide up thy loins, take
thy shield and staff The people
will cuss, drink whiskey. gamble,
tattle, tell tales, :stote" pistols, and
sometimes kill each other-but-
but they expect you to train their
children to be shining examples of
honor, truth, sobriety and virtue,
and place them on a 'plane to reach
safely that 'land that's fairer than
day." Cousiu Zen.

PUBLIC ROADS.

Through the system of t'personal'
road service, as obtains in this sec
ton much inconvenience is caused,
and much trade is diverted from its
natural channels.
There can be no questioning the
fact that should the public road be-
tween this town and Breaux Bridge
be, at all times, in good travelling
condition, it would rebound greatly
to the benefit of the two communi-
mites, as we'll as to the farmers
along the thoroughfare.
1t is admitted that in winter the
public road between the two points
is practically impossible, thereby
creating much inconvenience, and,
no doubt, diverting trade from its
rightful channel.
The road from 'sPont des Mou-
Ftons," in the parish of St. Martin,
especially that section starting from
the bridge to distance of about a
mile, is particularly bad, owing to
swampy nature of the land, but be-
yond this Point-save in some
few places, where terraces have
been built with poor Judgment
the road is, through all seasons,
generally in good travelling condi-
ton, and it would not cost much
money to put the other part in a
lasting condition, that is, in state
whereby travelling, during even the
worst stage of the rainy season
would render them passable.
The road from the town of Lafa-
yette to "Pont DIES Moutons" could,
also, be put in fine condition, and
at a comparatively small outlay of
labor and money.
Now The Gazette believes that
this public road should receive i'm
date attention, inasmuch as this is
the proper time to work it, and
would suggest that the Police Juries
of each parish appoint a conference
committee, whose duty it thall be
to devise means to work this road
by the two parish joining forces.
Let the Police Jury Of the parish of
Lafayette make a move in this di-
rection at its next sitting, and we
have no doubt the Police jury OF
the parish of St. Mortin will re-
spond in a liberal spirit.

THE TRAINING OF Chill
DREN

So much has been written and
said about the proper training of
children, it seems almost preposter-
Gus for one who has no children to
advise others. But " Felix " in his
letter on "School Government -
suggests few thoughts to me.
Sometime ago the Parish School
Board passed resolutions forbiding
the pupils to use profane language
in the public schools. At least
teachers arr expected to forbid it
and 1 think they should.
But here is the trouble: these
children whom teachers are expected
to teach Ogood morals, have
home influences that shape their flu
ture. They hear their fathers and
big brothers cuss they hear Off
Gals cuss they hear tsprominent
men cuss; they hear the lower clas-
ses cuss. Men cuss at home they
cuss on the street they cuss in pri-
vate ; they cuss in public. And the
children hear them cuss.
And teachers are expected to cor
rect these evils. Cussin' is an ugly
habit. O, we cusser, l wish you
would quit it

striction into her State constitution.
Mississippi followed in the same
line some years since, and it has
worked like charm, and now Cali
fornia proposes to follow this good
example. 1t is question of short
time when all the other States will
adopt similar constitutional suf-
frage restrictions, and nowhere is
such a law more needed than in
1t may be remembered that an
ignorant suffrage-that of the dagoes
in the McEnery-Foster primary
election-came near having very
ugly results, and that there was no
trouble was due only to the cool
heads on both sides.
We might find, right here at home
an illustration of results effected by
an ignorant suffrage-hence. God
speed the day when such restrictive
measures will be adopted in every
State of the Union, and then we
may hope that the next generation
of American voters will be able to
read and write the language of the
country in which they exercise and
enjoy the right of citizenship.

c. O. MouroN, Pres.
A. c. ORDwAy, Sec.
Inasmuch as the Immigration
Convention held in New Orleans
has been productive of little pratt
cal good, The Gazette thinks the
action of the B. NJ. A. in calling
this convention and inviting dele
gates from the adjoining parishes to
form part, is a wise move.
There can be no questioning the
fact that the crying need of South
western Louisiana is capital and a
good class of immigrants, by good
class we mean those sturdy farmers
of the Northwest who by their intel
ligence and energy have converted
vast sea of prairie into field
of productiveness that has enriched
SO much that section.
In Southwestern Louisiana are
the most fertile lands on the face of
the globe. These lands are suscep-
tible of the highest development
and their products should make
this the richest section of Louisiana.
There is room here, for many
kinds of manufactures; there is
room here for many farmers. We
want both. To secure them we
must let them know what we can
offer. And when we reach them,
they will come. 1t is to devise
means to reach them that this con-
vention is called.
But this will not be ALL We
need good roads. How best to
secure them will be discussed. And
many other things bearing on these
two germane questions will be given
attention.
Therefore the hope is entertained
that our sister parishes will answer
the invitation that will be sent them,
and send representatives to help
further the interests of all.

fact that the farmers are rapidly

| A majority of the membership
of the incoming council elected, on
the face of the returns, at the recent
municipal election, presented them
selves before the white voters of the
corporation of Lafayette with the
following signed and published dec
laration of principles

1talic ours. The Gazette, for one,
has never doubted their loyalty to
Democratic principles. The Gazette
believes that no one has a valid rea-
son to question their sincerity in the
premises, and The Gazette further
believes that their &! faith and stead
fastness to Democratic principles -
are of the kind proclaimed, upheld
and defended by the fathers of~the
party ~~----
This Democracy-as applied to
the party founded by Jefferson,
whose principles were were SO firmly
upheld by Jackson, and SO striking
ly examplified at home by McEnery
and Foster-the party that freed
this fair southland and squelched
the rapacious Hun that had invaded
0f fa
shackles that held her manacled SO
long in the throes of misery, and
placed her, where she stands to-day,
in the front rank of progress and
prosperity - this Democracy, in
short, means the unfolding of men
and measures as declared by it's adj
herants, in other words, party prin
ciples are enunciated and partisans
are selected to carry them into eff
feet.
The Gazette has heard that these
gentlemen intend to support, and by
that act elect to the position of chief
of police a gentleman holding, or
who recently held, an important Of
fee through appointment by ex-
President Harrison-it being an open
secret, at the time, that such posi-
tons were given only to the faithful.
Now, then, the foregoing deduc-
tions admitted, and suppose this ap-
pointment is made, in all candor
would it not be CD subversive Of the
tenets, as we'll as the usages of the
party, as practiced, and CD would
it not be violative of the profession
Of faith embodied in these words of
theirs sour faith and steadfastness
to Democratic principles cannot be
questioned"?
The Gazette has propounded these
questions as Democratic journal,
from party standpoint, and to it's
fellows Of the same professed politi-
cal faith without wishing to detract
from any one his just deserts.
