NUMBER 40.
Let the Good Work Go On.

The Gazette is pleased to learn
that the work of securing signatures
to the petition relative to the special
tax election is progressing very sat
isfactorily. During the past few
days quite a number Of property
holders have signed the petition.
| 1t is believed that the required mum
Der will soon be obtained and the
Council will be asked 10 order the
election. The people of the town
have had ample time to discuss this
matter among themselves and it IS
safe to say that the merits Of the
proposition will appeal to their good
sense and public spirit. Whiia
there may be two sides to the CUES
ton Of a public market, all voters
seem to agree that it is absolutely
necessary to have certral school
building and an extension of the
water and light plant.
Before the close of 1902 Lafa-
yette should be able to point with
pride to a school building commen-
surate with its needs as progres-
sive and enlightened community
The children of the town are en-
titled to the best educational ad-
vantages. Right at our doors is an
institution with splendid equipments
and efficient faculty to train the
minds and hands of our boys and
girls-in other words, to give them
practical education That un-
questionably Is boon worth striv-
ing for. But in order to place it
within the reach of every ambitious
child there must be preparatory
training and it is toward that end
the town must exert itself. A first
class central school is needed in
Lafayette-a fine building and suit
able -comething that the
teacher and pupil and patron will
look to with pride.

THANKSGIVING EXERCISES
Held at the Lafayette High School
Large Attendance 0f Pa-
rents and Friends Of
Education.

Wednesday afternoon at half pas;
one O'Clock the children of the
Primary School were seen to pass
on the streets on their way to the
High School where they were going
10 witness the THANKSGIVING exer
erCises Their fine discipline elic
tied the comments of the people on
their route aud showed that even
young children may be taught TO
COmpOr, themselves properly on
public occasions. The primary
child en- took up good portion of
the floor space Of the hall, there
being no seats to accommodate
them All the available seats Of
the school were placed in the hall,
but these were occupied, we take
pleasure in saying, by the patrons
of the school and the friends of ed
ucation. Inc meagre accommoda
by Mr.. LeRosen IN few we'll
chosen remarks. He said that it
was unfortunate that town the size
of Lafayette should be SO poorly
equipped as to school facilities.
Besides the disadvantage of being
located in low place, the school
was bounded by the railroad on one
SIDE, by cotton gin on the other,
and at times 1t was impossible to
hear ones self speak He referred
to the effort being made by the
puDlicsp spirited people of Lafayette
to procure a school building that
would put it in line with the other
progressive towns of its size, and
reflect credit upon the town. He
hoped that the next Thanksgiving
exercises would be held in the new
High School.
The exercises were we'll prepared
and gave evidence of the work OF
the painstaking teachers. There
was not hitch in the whole pro-
gramme and the children were fairly
well composed. We are glad to
note that our teachers realize the
value OF exercises Of this kind, and
tina, the friends of education and
the patrons Of the school so liber-
ally encouraged the teachers and
pupils by their presence.
The exercises were superintendent

SCHOOL BOARD.

|
At a called meeting Of the BoarG
of School Directors the following
members were present: A. Olivier,
! presidents: DIR. K. O. Young, H.
Theall, Alex Delhomme, S. ].
Montgomery. Jasper Spell, Pierre
Landry, n. P. Moss and A. G.
Guiibeau.
The president stated that as DR..
Your G and Mr.. Theall, the gentle
men who had asked for the meeting,
lad not stated the object for having
it called, he was compelled to ask
them for an explanation, whereupon
DR.. Young arose and said, "Our
object is to find out why the public
school lands were not leased on
Nov. 16, 1901, as advertised. -
The secretary, who was men,
Der on the committee appointed to
arrange all preliminary matters in
cidentai to the lease Of school lands,
explained that the lands had not
been leased because they were not
advertised according to the require
ments Of the law; that persons were
present wishing to rent all of the
land contained in each section and
others wished to rent small tracts,
and rather than run the risk of
standing a lawsuit the committee
decided not to offer the lands and
70 ,11,ortico ~, ,uh~
tions because it was the committees
firm belief that it would be to the
interest of the parish school funds
to offer them for lease in that man
ner.
DR.. Young argued that the Board
had no moral right to take advan-
tage of a technicality and that it
was the duty of the Board to re-
advertise the land in tracts as they
were advertised by the committee
for lease on November 16, and Of
fered the following motion:
"Owing to the primary action of
our committee on the lease of
school lands, that the secretary in
struct the parish treasurer to notify
the public in the proper manner,
that the public school lands Of this
parish will be offered on Dec. Fl,
1901, in tracts as were advertised
on November 16, 1901"
DR.. Moss explained that in his
opinion it was not question of
morality. but that it was purely a
business proposition and that unless
the land was advertised 10 whole
tracts, the present occupants would
combine and offer ten cents, twenty
five cents and fifty cents per acre
as they have done before, whereas
in VIII ole tracts there were offers Of
one dollar and two dollars per ere;
in small tracts we would receive x
hundred dollars as heretofore
whereas in whole tracts TIE revenue
would be two thousand five hundred
to three thousa and dollars per year,
A vote on DR.. Young's resolution
was called. DR.. Moss, Mr.. Mont
gomery and Mr.. Delhomme voted
against; DR.. Young, Mr.. Pierre
Landry, Mr.. Spell, Mr.. Guilbeau
and Mr.. Theall for the notion
Mr.. Marcel Melancon and Mr.
Jos G. Leblanc were refunded one
dollar each for double poll taxes
paid for the year 1901.
DR.. Young moved to adjourn,
which being duly seconded, was
carried
