THE SITUATION IN
THE PHILIPPINES

New York, Feb. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: In an inter-
view Admiral Dewey said:
The people on shore know more about
the situation than I do. 1t seems to me
to be excellent, however. The natives
are coming in again and especially in
San Rogue, whence they had been driven
out by the insurgents, who had burned
their homes. With ordinary people I
should say the backbone of the insurrec-
ton had been broken, but with this race

SUPT. PERSONS ANNUAL REPORT
SUBMITTED AT APRIL MEETING.


Gontlomen--I herewith hand you my
yearly report of the general condition of
school affairs in iberia parish and such
recommendations as may prove, in your
judgement, beneficial to future school
progress.
The past scholastic year has been,
everything considered, n very satisfactory
year, and during that time many needed
improvements have taken place. The
number Of schools have been increased !;
their locations have been made more
central to the attending children ample
funds have been at the disposal of the
parish school board tho construction OF
elegant modern buildings have taken
place ; our corps of teachers will rank
with any in the different parishes our
monthly institutes have been practical
and amazingly beneficial to all in attend
ance. But our enrolment and average
attendance have been poor, too poor in
deed for that parish which is so fortunate
as to have the necessary funds to employ
the most talented and high price teachers,
and ample funds to run nine months
school term, and funds with which to
build and equip unsparingly the hand
soonest modern school structures.
Neither with flourish of trumpets nor in
way to braggadocio do speak of the
present status of school affairs in our par
ish, but in saying what do to-day ! say
II with the utmost conviction, that onl y
now are we on we'll grounded foundation
for the right kind Of future educational
accomplishment, only recently having
surmounted many obstacles that proved
such barriers in the past
This condition of happy affairs has beon
reached after series Of untold labOrs-
by pupils, by teachers, by patrons, by
| school board, psrochial and municipal Off
cials.
Ample funds, for the enrolment and The
attendance, have been ut the disposal Of
tho school board.
Iberia parish to-day can justly claim to
possess corps Of teachers equal to and
unsurpassed by no parish in the state.
Our school property embracing sites,
buildings, wood and masonry, desks, fur
niture and fixtures, class paraphenaha, al
OF which is in fair repair, aggregate in
value the handsome amount OF about $37,
900.
employe Of the school board, there is not
one ceug vi OuIOtuHuiu8 VuiiRutipb. HNo'
bill has been paid dollar for dollar.
With this satisfactory status, necessary
school equipment, capable teaching force,
ample funds in sight with which to defray
and maintain this expense, augmented
enrolment and large daily attendance OF
pupils ought to be the shibboleth beside
the freside Of every household in our par
| ish.
To-day we are conducting Al public
schools. OF this number 32 are white ant
are colorod. We have . total enroll
ment for the year Of 2605, with q smal
average attendance Of 1923. We employ
n teaching force Of 45 teachers, 30 Of
whom are white. IL are normal schoo
graduates; 7 are holders Of lst grade Ger

icctod to all kinds of weather and padding
in mud and wnter, thero is necessarily
moro sickness and loss attendance.
| would recommend that examinations
be again held in this parish to enable
those toachors who have certificates to
procure higher oneH and for those without
certificates to procure same. This Is n
stimulus to tho work and n necessity for
tho proper furthornnoo Of all school work.
Ones only complaint now to be entered
against tho school condition Of tho parish,
exclusive of course, of many minor details
which are gradually adjusting themselves,
is our inexcusablc low enrolment nnd our
disparngingly low daily attendance. This
Is accounted for in tho following ways:
|. Indifference generally to education
on the part of u largo citizenship and
total inapprocation Of the magnificent
advantages that aro to-day offered tho
children Of Iberia parish.
2. Deficient drainage and miserable
highways tho ma or part Of tho yoar.
J. Unprecedented amount of rain tho
past yonr and generally unreasonable
weather.
4. In few sections or neighbOrhoods of
our parish some parents koop their children
out of tho public schools we loarn. because
French is not taught in tho public schools.
All exercisos are conducted In tho English
language and rs u consequence all tho
children in tho public schools OF Iberia
parish are rapidly acquiring tho English
M we'll rs the French language, which
latter language IL the mother tongue Mt
their paront's tireside. BY this method
both languages arc equally familiar to the
growing generation.
g. Many children, inconceivablo as It
may be to many, actually do not attend
school for want of raimont.
Every scheme, energy and dcvico has
boon exorted to augment our school enroll
ment and supplement tho daily attendance.
With this constant hard work both arc
gradually improving, but not Mt n justiiablo

Tho force of mon necessary to run tho

superintendent, ono engineer, two trcmcn
and one roust about.
There are two or three other men really
employed by the department but thoy can
not be classcd as part OF tho working
force necessary to run tho plant as they
are engaged in doing plumbing and light
ing work from the plumbing and electrical
supply store maintained by the city, the
profits from tho employees work paying
their salaries.
Tho plant is in perfect condition. The
city has been fortunate in securing for
superintendent Mr.. Thompson, who is n
thoroughly practical man, well up on every
thing pertaining to light plants and water
works.
Tho people OF tho city are proud of their
plant and tho economical way in which it
is managed.
Their lights arc superior and they un-
doubtedly have the best wator in tho state.

artesian well something over700 feet deep.
II Is absolutely pure. They have two other
wells from which to pump in CASE Of cmer-
gency but this one Is meeting the present
demand and supplying largo ice factory,
tho contract with this concern being that
they are only to have tho surplus supply.
OF course there are "kickers' there.
Where are thore notf Ono man had u
number of lights on the fiat ratio and thought
he was paying too much and he put in n
meter and found it cost him moro. OF
course he thought there was something
wrong

tho lst.. took the first step looking toward
making bond issue for the purpose of
purchasing the water and Light plant from
tho present owners, and operating it for
tho benefit of the city.

Eruptions and skin
diseases are a blot
upon
h5W1

These blots are actually blood blots. To
cure them lotions and outward appli-
cations are useless. The blood must be
cured, before the skin becomes clean.
That great medicine for the stomach
and blood, DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, is most effective in cleansing
the complexion and healing diseases
which defle and deface the skin. It
acts directly upon the stomach and the
organs of digestion and nutrition. It
increases the action of the blood-making
glands, and expels from the system the
lurking poisons which defle the blood
and through it deface the skin.
No alcohol or other intoxicant, no
opium or other narcotic is contained in
"Golden Medical Discovery"
1t may pay a dealer better to sell you a
substitute which is less popular but more
profitable than the "Discovery." 1t
won't pay you to buy it, if you want a
reliable remedy.
