The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1898-04-07


arranged so as to interfere as little
as possible with farm work, and all
parents will soon recognize the great
er benefits of a continuous session
over a broken one, and will commend
the provision. I regret to say that
two small schools closed under this
regulation after running short time.
Our greatest need is the entire sup
port of the people, and this we are
gradually, but surely, getting. The
Police Jury has come to our relief
with larger appropriation; our an
nual Institutes and the monthly
meetings OF our two Associations are
largely attended by the public, and
the visits of the Superintendent are
cordially welcomed. These facts are
very encouraging, and indicate a
growing interest that will, in the near
future, enlarge and perpetuate sys-
tenn of education sufficiently broad
for all the practical purposes of life.
