The Committee on Examination
were, with the aid Of the teachers.
Messrs. P n. Knoblocii, n. B. Dayen-
port and Gustave Abribat, Jr.
Mr.. Editor 1t would seem imnos
ing on your good nature, to add a
comment to the above already large
report; but before concluding. we
feel in duty bound, to compliment the
teachers on the good work performed
this session ; as the above report re-
fleets great credit to them.
Mr.. T. H. Maroney, in particular. has
proven himself to be a most efficient
teacher, and one having graced the
principals chair; has introduced new
methods, by which the pupils have
progressed rapidly. His discipline
has been strict, but tempered with
kindness, bs which he has endeared
himself in the hearts Of his pupils and
; all patrons of the school. We are
to chronicle that he has rendered his
resignation. His genteel and congo
| NAL manners have made him not ODly
desirable as teacher, but also desir-
able acquisition to Lockport. In con-
nection with this, we wish him God
speed success, in whatever new field
he may choose to embark.
Our better acquaintance with our
assistant teachers, restricts US from
further commenting on their merit
than to say that they have performed
their duty most creditably.
In regard to the children, we were
pleased to notice that, according to
above report, examined by US, we can
safely say that those having the high
est percentage, homer themselves, their
teachers and their parents. and those
having the least percentage, are far
from being dishonOred.
May the sequel of this examination
incite the children to better efforts for
the next one, and, may it also incite
their parents to further efforts in that
direction.
The Lockport Public School Asso-
citation needs bnt very little comment
at our hands, as all are we'll acquaint-
ed with the fact, Of the active part the
said Association takes in it's welfare,
To the school in general, one would
seem to think that we had nothing
more to say, but we can assuredly as
sert that it is one of the best public
schools in the parish. to say the least.
Very Respectfully,
LAFOURCHE.
