In all instances where there was
no competitive examination ordered,
the school is left open until after the
preliminary examination when those
who have passed successfully will
be considered.
1 take this opportunity to advise
all the teachers of the parish to
stand the preliminary examination
at 9 O'Clock on Aug. "a, 1907, in
the Industrial Institute. Even
though they hold certificates they
would be greatly benefited by the
examination, and there is nothing
to lose. This would put the
teachers in line for the coming reg
ular examination next October, and
would be one step higher in the
ladder of proficiency.
The examination to be held on
the 24th is not regular examina-
ton and therefore no certificates
will be issued 20 those who pass it
successfully; it will be purely a test,
and at the same time competitive
where two or more ap-
pllcants apply for the same school.
Let the entire teaching force of
Lafayette parish present itself at the
which is soon to be
held, and thus prepare for a step
higher in October.
1t is highly probable that the
Board of School Directors will soon
elevate the standard of required
proficiency, and our teachers should
begin now to prepare for that day
when teachers in a state Of mental
will be asked to step
aside and give place to those of the
profession who are more progress
sive. The people are tired Of
teachers who do not improve; they
have fou Id out for themselves that
the teacher who does not improve
is on the retrograde, and they value
their dear little ones too highly to
submit them to the blighting inf1u-
ence Of a teacher who has become
dead. If they wish to
hold their positions as teachers
they must look up, not down; they
must march forward, not backward.

Parish Superintendent.
