OF Hon. Il. S. Coffin, ex-R. r. Com

Il SPLENDID CONZRHN
mo AZ

For a new member Mr.. Alfred
f1ebert starts out well indeed, for i,
was upon his motion that the Police
Jury appropriated, at its sitting
Monday, the sum of $500 to the
general school fund.- OF course we
do not mean to :detract one iota
from the Public-spiritedness of the
other members, for they are all de-
serving of the highest praise in this
matter. Unoficially the members
declared their willingness to ex-
tend further aid should it become
necessary.
1t may not be generally known
that at its last meeting the School
Board decided to make one school
district in the parish, and one
school fund, whereby it will permit
of the adoption a system that must
prove beneficial in the operation of
ahe schools.
In having but one school fund,
abe School Board will be in a posi-
ton of using as much of the money
as may be deemed necessary to run
the High School, or rather so much
las will be required added to what
the Town Council will contribute.
We say with the amount the Town
Council will appropriate, because
we feel conhdent that body will
-cheerfnlly give something. For in
so doing, 1t will aid the Schaol
Board to the extent of the sum con- |
:frlbuted, which will :permit the
SCHOOL .Board.to apply that much !
more ito the parish schools, thus t

Editor Lafayette Gazette:
1t is with pleasure that we hear
of the success of MIR. Alc;bia,'c
Broussard, in passing examination
as teacher OF public schools in the
Parish of Nermilion. This young
gentlemen is the son of Mr.. I.uciep
S. Broussard of this parish, who
was for many years deputy clerk OF
Vermillion parish, but now a sue
sessful planter Of our parish, in the
1tth ward, on Bayou Vermilion.
Young Adelaide Broussard re-
ceived his education in the public
schools of this parish, and to Pro-
,fessor Alex. Meaux he owes it all,
he having gone to no other school,
The old professor must feel proud
of his good work. Many other
young men of this section, who
were taught by him might perhaps
give him sthe same pride, had they
had an opportunity. This goes to
prove that our public school system
is progressing, and that our children
need not look to other schools for
education, if they only attended our
schools regularly.
The 'Pilette school in charge of
Prof Meaux, is doing admirably
well. With the material that we
possess, the school could do better
but for lack of attendance it is not
yet what we would like to see it.
But the energy which has been |
shown in the past by public .exami-
nations and exhibitions, given by |
he directors of the school have inn |
proved the attendance very much.
