SCOTT
Takes Care of a Large Crowd
Meeting for the Industrial
School.

The busy little town of Scott
day. Hundreds of people from the
vicinity had gone there to attend re-
ligIous services which were held in
the new Catholic church, which, by
the way, IS a handsome structure
and is capable of accommodating
large congregation. The choir of
the Lafayette church had volun-
| teered it's services for the occasion
and the first high mass said in the
new church was very imposing
ceremony. The people of Scott
and the surrounding country have
reason 20 be pleased with their
house Of worship. 1t is an evil
dence of the public spirit which
they have repeatedly displayed in
recent years. From all appear
ances Scott intends to be reckoned
with in the future and does not
propose to remain far behind the
band wagon. Not veiy man,
years ago Scott was crossroads
settlement, but she IS now showing
a disposition to forge ahead. That
she will succeed there seems to be
no doubt. Her people are united
and with unity she can not fail to
go ahead. With a splendid coun-
try and the right kind of people
why should she not cast away her
old buds to put on the more attrac-
tive habiliments of progress. A
few years ago Scott was content to
sleep in harmless obscurity. She
was scarcely known beyond the
confines of the parish. She was
passed unbidden by the wayfarer
who sped by her gates in blissful
ignorance of perhaps her very ex-
istence. Not SO now. Her praises
are sung by pulpit, bar and
press. She is known far and wide |
and like Burns heroine to know
her is to like her. Warm-hearted, |
hospitable and generous, she's a |
tavorite with every one. Scott is |
all right.

In response to an invitation is
sued by Mr.. Alcide Judice five or
six hundred people met at Scott
last Sunday afternoon for the pur-
pose Of taking measures to secure
the Industrial School for Lafayette
parish. MIR. Judice, who opened
the meeting, stated that he had
called it, first: to get the school
for the parish; second: to get the
school for that point in the parish
which would make the best offer.
We judge from Mr.. JUDGES re-
marks that he will try to win the
prize for Scott, but in doing SO he
does not wish to interfere with the
success of the parish.
Hon. Alex Delhomme was called
upon to preside and Mr.. F. V.
Mouton to act as secretary.
Col. Gus. A. Breaux was the first
speaker. He first referred to the
marked progress made by that sec
ton since his boyhood days. He
congratulated Mr.. Judice and the
other citizens of Scott upon the
many evidences of thrift and pub
lie spirit noticeable everywhere.
He dwelt upon the advantages Of
education and impressed his hearers
with the great boon conferred by
course Of study pursued in an in
I,,ck 1o1 l.
for the parish first and then for
that point which would show itself
worthy of having the school. The
colonel made good speech and
was listened to very attentively.
He was literally applauded.
The next speakers were Messrs.
Ben Avant, J. Omer Broussard and
DR.. Fred Mayer. Their remarks
were in line with the views ex-
pressed by Col. Breaux. DR.. Mayer
was particularly eloquent IN his ap-
peal to the people to stand together
in this fight for the advancement of
the whole parish. Being an old
resident Of Scott he was little par
tial to that place, but was fair TO
all. The doctor is always ready to
make good talk and it is needless
to say that he made an excellent
speech last Sunday
At the conclusion of DR.. Mayer's
speech the following named gentle
men were appointed on a committee
to carry out the purpose of the
