SCHOOL CHILDREN
OF Pilette Give Thler Annual
Exhibition.

Exhibition.
The 21st of May being the last
day of the scholastic year the Pu-
pills of the Pllette public school, un-
der the direction of Prof. Robert
Broussard, gave their annual exhi-
bition. 1t was a very entertaining
performance, and gave satisfactory
evidence of the progress of the
children of this school. Prof.
Broussard had thoroughly prepared
the young ones for the occasion
and the manner in which every
thing was conducted showed
thorough training and intelligent
instruction. At eight O'Clock, the
hour fixed for the beginning. the
eighty children who attend the
school were present and a fairly
large audience had come. The
following interesting program was
we'll rendered.:

The children performed their
parts in a manner to reflect much
credit upon themselves and their
painstaking teacher.
At the conclusion of the exhibit
ton Mr.. Broussard, the teacher,
spoke con the responsibilities of a
| teacher and the advantages of a
primary education"
Prof. Broussard introduced SUI
perintendent Latiolais who delivered
short address in French, urging
parents to send their children to
school. He was followed by Hon.
J. 0. Broussard, director of 9Th
ward, who also spoke in French.

HIGH School Picnic.


The High School picnic on We'd
nesday at Chargo1s' Springs
is one long to be remem
bered by all so fortunate as to
attend; for ooh what is nicer than
a bright picnic day, when hearts
are merry and companions are
gay"
After the many conveyances were
emptied of their precious freight,
each one spent the day in his or
her choice diversion, some in
dulged in pleasant conversation,
others promenaded the woody
glehs and the remainder played
games Of different sorts. But all
with hearty appetites gathered
around the we'll laden table and
enjoyed the many goodies there
arrayed. Not until the twilight
shades were falling fast, did any
one think of returning to the dusty
town. The gaily decorated wagons
and merry voices of the occupants,
bespeaking a delightful day, now
only memory, but fortunately a
sweet one.
