-Ex-Post master Bonnemaison
was a visitor to Lafayette Tuesday:
"A visit to an institution of learn
ing should slrely be one of appre-
citation, as at no other place imagin-
able, can pleasant recollections of
dear old school days arise so wildly
to memory, as when surrounded by
teachers and pupils. Monday last,
a brief call was made on Prof. Webb,
principal of the 4th ward public
school situated here. In his usual
gentlemanly and unassuming style,
your correspondent was rendered a
hearty welcome. The school house,
thoroughly ventilated and airy; IS
sufficiently large to accommodate at
the very least 100 pupils. The
desks and benches are very good
ones, ahd the children are made as
comfortable as possible. The
school has an enrolled list of IS
scholars, with a regular attendance

ployed by Prof. Webb in the desci-
pline and instruction of his several
classes, are certainly successfully
executed; as the rapid progress un-
dergone by the children, denotes
with pride, how patient and con-
Mr.. Webb is in the dis
charge of his duties: Previous to
Prof: Webb taking control Of this
fully rs of the children
could not understand a word Of
english, whilst to-day, not only do
they understand, but fuently speak
the national language; sing the
national songs and glorify in the
honor of being young citizens Of
this great American Republic. To
encourage the children in their
studies we have promised to mention
the names of the successful ones in
the monthly roll of honor, and
space in our ssitems" will always be
accorded them with pleasure: The
scholars in general are all doing re-
markedly we'll, and to much praise
cannot be given Prof. Webb:
Amongst some of the classes exhi-
bited in our presence, we may say
with justification that the following
boys were exceptionally and apt
quick in their answers; to-wit:
Masters Young, David, Vallot, Ollie
Dyer, Landry, Langlinais, Guillotte,
