Efficient teacher, but school is taught in
! an old log cabin too small and inconveni.
ent for the the teacher to do justice e
his calling.
Liberty Chapel. District 10, an old e.
tablished point, with patrons abundantly
able to keep up . permanent school.
District IA. Fish Greek The level.
headed patrons are carrying on an inter
estinR private school.
District 10, Little Creek-This il z
weak district and badly divided. Little
can be done until the people unite in
some way or other.
Christian Hope, District 16 = This
school is taught in Q large church build
ing, children enough for good school IL
the people were able to keep it up by
private means.
District II. Tison-This il line school,
and If Winn parish would pay her part,
could be made very interesting one.
In Districts IS and 10 schools are loca-
Ted at St Andre Hill and Summer1eld,
good locations, and an abundance Of chill
dren for permanent schools at each place
if patrons were able to pay the teachers.
Union Grove, District O-An interest
ing school, considering it Is taught in Q
church building, with no furniture ex-
cept q blackboard. A good house ought
to be built a little nearer tho center.
District 81, Montgomery = They have
an excellent school building at Mont
gomery, and an elegant school, which
has been in successful operation four or
five years, and has been doing excellent
work. The people Of Montgomery and
vicinity are justly proud Of their school,
and work together for its interest, and no
doubt q bright future awaits il The
colored schoo. in the Montgomery dis
trict located there as central point for
districts %. 81 and q, seemed to be doing
we'll, considering they only get three
months in two years
District q, Dunn's-A part Of the pu-
pills in this district always attend line
school, 80 that with the meagre funds
thus divided little good can be expected.
l think the location could be improved
If those interested would take more inter-
est in the matter.
Hargis District, No. 23-The people in
this district are able to build q school
house and keep q good school going for
8 or 10 months il they were properly en-
Unused. Between this district and New
Hope district, No. -, the line should be
50 changed az to make College Hill the
location instead Of New Hope. The
buildings ct College Hill are large and
we'll suited for school purposes, with q
good cot of home made desks and black
boards, and the people arc alive to school
interests. New Hope ls a church build
ing and not at all suitable.
Iatt District No. Is, is divided a. TO the
proper location Of the school, and while
thus divided the school cannot flourish.
There IL an interesting colored school IN
this district, supported 3 months in 2
years from the funds Of districts Is, a
and Is foae
Fairfield, In district 26, has had no
school this year. / will say, however,
that there il no better point in the parish
for q permanent school and it is burn
ing shame for q people that are able to
TO support q good school to be 90 derelict
in their duty toward their children.
District No. N-This school like the
great majority is taught in little church
house, entirely inadequate for school per-
poses. The children are worthy Of q
good school building, and the good peo-
pie of Shady Grove. having two saw
mills in their neighborhood, should see
10 it that they have good comfortable
school room, and then 60 to work In ear
nest to educate their children.
Very respectfully.

Parish Superintendent.
