4 Good Suggestion.

Edsor CoURlER:-
! Yin his last monthly report to the
Parish School Board, the most sa
7 lient points Of which were pub.
llshed by go several weeks ago
Prof. Harris, the principal of oul
High School. made suggestion
which deserves serious considera-
ton. 1t was to the effect, if
remember ari ght. that another
teacher be employed in the High
School who would instruct the
more advanced pupils in stsno-
graphy, typewrltlng, telegraphy,
bookkeeping, etc. This would
assuredly be Il great step forward !;
and as we live in IN age of rapid
progress, we must per force make
an occasional step forward if we
ever do hope, expect or desire to
keep abreast of the times. Such
Il step would afford to the youth
OF both sexes of this great par
i,h Il golden opportunity to more
thoroughly equip themselves for
the battle of life at a nominal
cost to themselves and to the par
ish, and without the manifold in
conveniences resulting from their
separation by hundreds of miles
from their homes. 1t would also
afford to the youth of adiOin-
ing parishes like opportunity at
a comparatively insignificant cost,
and it would tend in great de-
gree to restoring to Opelousas the
palm for intellectual culture and
learning of which she was the
proud possessor in the days of
long ago. 1t would add infinite
prestige to our magnificent High
School and to the community.
Another feature which might
be proftably engrafted upon our
High School is a department for
the industrial training of our
youth-in the mechanical arts and
in agriculture, for instance. The
cost of maintenance of such
a department would be greater,
but the cost would sink into in
significance when compared with
the immense benefits which would
be diffused throughout the COM
munity. Besides, this parish is
not spending for the education
of its youth half the amount that
it should, and no better use for at
least one-tifth of the taxes levied
upon the people could be found
than in the education of their
