GOOD ROADS.
The Convention Fails to Material
ize-l'resident Bilieaud Will
Issue Another Call.

Owing to the very small alien
dance it was decided to postpone
the good roads convention to
future date, to be fixed by President
Billeaud, of the Police Jury.
Mr.. G. e.. Brown, who was to
preside over the meeting, announced
to the few persons present that
postponement had been decided
upon. Mr.. Brown expressed regret
at the evident Indifference of the
people to a matter of such vital i'm
portance. He said that the people
should be heard from on this ques-
ton and that another opportunity
would be afforded them to come to-
gether and express their views.
President Billeaud would issue call
for another convention, which, he
hoped, would be largely attended.
1t is certainly to be hoped that
more people will respond to the
next call.
Numerically the town of Lafayette
was very poorly represented at the
meeting. There we're four citizens
of the town present. The business
and professional men of the town
should exert themselves in this

hands with the country. Both are

Lafayette IS among the parishes
which have helped to give Louis

seen by the following figures, since
1870 this parish has never failed
to show marked gains for the white
race. To-day there are nearly
1900 more whites than negroes in
this parish.

Miss Josephine Sanford, of New
Orleans, and has three interesting
children.
Mr.. Florent Sontag, who will teach
music, is one of the most accom-
plished and most widely known
musicians in the State. It is safe
to say that better selection could
not have been made. Mr.. Sontag
was born in Breaux Bridge in 1871.
He is the son of the late Prof.
George Sontag, known and recog
nized by all lovers of music as an
artist of great talent. Mr.. Sontag
is presently engaged at the Athletic
Park in New Orleans. Writing of
his work there Stede Bonnet said in

REQUIREMENT. FOR ADMISSION.
Candidates for admission to the
first year class must be fourteen
years of age, or older, in good
health, and prepared for a simple
entrance examination in reading,
writing, spelling, arithmetic to
denominate numbers, elementary
geography. A certificate from the
principal of an officially approved
high school, or from such other
schools as have been accredited
upon investigation, showing that the
candidate has done satisfactory sixth
grade work, will be accepted for
entrance in lieu of an examination.
The entrance requirements have
purposely been made thus easy in
order to give the greatest op-
portunity to the greatest number.
COURSE OE STUDY.
The Industrial Institute offers to
boys and girls rounded course in
the academic branches and the
manual training pursuits Of the
secondary school-a course that
will provide not only for mental
development and culture, but also

being the most important servant OF

For a Graded School.

Our remarks last Saturday advo-
eating the establishment of graded
school at this place, may have been
construed as a reflection upon the
Lafayette High School, but we wish
to state that it was not our intention
to detract from the merit of that
institution. On the contrary, we
recognize fully the good work that
it is doing. We believe, however,
that Lafayette needs improved edu-
ca.ional facilities TO meet the new
conditions. The present school
buildings are totally inadequate and
in recent years the sessions have
been altogether too short.
A modern school building is
badly needed. 1t should be put up
in as central a point as possible.
The town schools should be in one
building and under the control of
one principal. With central or
graded school to prepare the pupils
to enter the Industrial Institute,
Lafayette will be able to boast Of
educational advantages equal to
those of any other town in the State.
Lafayette has an excellent opportu-
nifty 20 become the educational
center of Southwest Louisiana, and
judging it by its record we are justl-
fed in predicting that it will make
the most of its opportunity.

gymnasium with apparatus, oat door
sports, and games; manual training
for boys consists of bench-work in
wood, wood carving, wood-turning,
pattern m aking, holding, forging,
and machine-shop work; and
manual training for girls includes
sewing, draughting, making gar
ments, tume-design, domestic
science, cookery, househ old-sanita-
ton, and care of the sick.
SPECIAL COURSES.
The energies of the Institution
will be given in greatest part to the
work of the regular course of study,
and all students are advised, SO far
as it may be practicable, to take
this course, exactly as it is outlined.
But an advanced and mature
student desiring to elect his subjects
of study and take special course,
may do SO if he is prepared for the
work he elects and if his program
Of studies is approved by the
president.
Special courses will not lead to
the regular diploma. Upon the
completion of such courses students
will receive certificates specifying
the subjects studied.
Students satisfactorily com
pleting the four-year course in
dictated III the foregoing will receive
the regular diploma of the institute
authorized by the State.
The Institute has been particu-
larly fortunate in the selection OF
the faculty-consisting of Mr.. V. L.
Roy, of Marksville; Mr.. Floren,
Sontag, of Lafayette; Mr.. l.. w.
Mayer, of Opelousas; Mr.. Ashby
Woodson, of Virginia; Miss Ger.
trude Mayfield, of Ruston; Miss

Orleans.
Mr.. Roy, the teacher of science,
is a native of Avoyelles parish, and
is member of the very large and
influential family of that name
throughout the French section of
the State. He gave early evidence
of ability and faithfulness as
student, and when ready for college
was elected to the scholarship Of
Avoyelles parish in the State Uni
versity at Baton Rouge. While
there he was several times distin
guished for his work as student,
and was graduated in 1890 with the
bachelors degree in science, win
ing the highest honor of his class in
that year. Soon after leaving the
University Mr.. Roy was elected as
special lecturer in chemistry in con-
nectlon with the work of the State
Department in South
ern University, and at the same time
pursued special advanced courses
in physics and chemistry in Tulane
University, under the direction of
Prof. Wilkinson and Prof. Brown
Ayres. He later supplemented this
with a course in the Uni
versity of Chicago. In 1897 he was
called to build and organize high
school in Marksville-a work that
he has carried forward to the pres
ent time with the greatest success.
Mr.. Roy was married in 1897 to1

THE GIRLS DORMITORY.
The ladies' boarding club will be
open on Tuesday evening, Sept. II,
1901. The dormitory, a picture Of
which is printed on this page, is yet
incomplete, but will be ready for
the opening. 1t will be a splendid
home for the young ladies who will
attend the school. Thoroughly
modern in all its departments, the
boarders will be afforded the best
accommodations obtainable. Mrs.
Elizabeth F. Baker, the matron,
who will have personal charge of
the dormitory, Is, in every respect,
eminently qualified for the i'm
portant duties incumbent upon
