per cent and above was reached
by only three schools in the
parish, the Alex Martip Jr.,
the. Lafayette, and the Scott
school which heads the list with
an average attendance of 80
per cent for the entire year.
What can be done at Scott,
should be possible at Lafayette,
at Broussard and everywhere
throughout the parish.
OUR SCHOOL, HOUSES.
Many of our school houses are
a disgrace to the parish. and it
would be well for the Board to
adopt systematic plan to have
them enlarged and repaired.
It is advisable to open the
town schools on the first of
September. The country schools
are best attended in the spring
and summer months.
CENTRAL WARD SCHOOLS.
In order to place higher edu
cation within the reach of every
child in the parish, central ward
schools should be established
in every ward in the parish
or at least in every ward which
will support one. These schools
should do work of the grammar
school from the fifth to the
eight grades inclusive. The
most convenient location for
these schools would be Carencro,
Scott, Duson, Broussard, Pilette,
Royville and Ridge. The schools
should be put into operation next
session.

Supt Alleman submitted the
following report to the School
Board at itsmeeting held on
July II:
To sx< Pr<sfd<s< and Members ef tie Board
IF School Directors.
It is with some degree of salts
faction that I submit my first
annual report on the conditions
and needs Of the public school
system of the parish. This
Board has reason to congratu-
late itself on the fact that it has
been one of the first Boards in
the State to break away from
the old spoils system of select
ing teachers. In Lafayette par
ish the teachers are appointed
on their merits, and the whole
administration of the important
public matters entrusted to this
Board has been systematic and
economic. The record of this
year will bear out this state
sunent.
l wish to thank the members
Individually for the support
which has, almost without ex-
ception. been given to those
measures calculated to elevate
the standard of our public school
system. The past year has been
marked by a remarkable absence
of petty wrangling over matters
of minor Importance which SO
often mars the proceedings of
public bodies and make intelli-
gent systematic work impossi-
BILE. But Notwithstanding the
fact that we have done well, we
should not close our eyes to the
fact that we have only begun,
and that there are matters of
paramount Importance which
need our immediate attention.
The most important of these is
OUR REVENUES.
Our revenues are not sufficient
to elevate our system of schools
up to the standard of efficiency
so much desired. We have been
compelled to employ a large
number of teachers holding
third grade certificates at thirty
dollars per month. A teacher
should know vastly more than
he is required to teach, and it is
a self-evident proposition that if
we wish to improve our schools.
the first thing for us to do is tc
require our teachers to improve
themselves. Our school system
can not possibly rise above the
average teacher.
We must depend upon our
Police JURY for a larger appro.
priatiOn and now that we have
demonstrated to the public that
we will put it's money to the best
use, we have just claim on the
public funds. and, I venture tc
say, the people and their repre-
sentatives on the Police Jury are
prepared to vote the much
needed increase. This parish
has a fairly good system of pub
lie roads and there is no reason
why she should not have an equal
ly good system of publics chools.
Good roads and good schools &C
hand in hand, and they are good
index to the general intelligence
of the community supporting
them. Exactly the same condi
tons which have brought about
good roads will bring about good
schools. These conditions are
ample funds and an intelligent
expenditure under the scrutiny
of a healthy, active public senti,
ment. The only thing we lack is
the funds without which we can
not hope to move forward.

are too low. The average salary

teachers and it would elevate
our system of schools to a level
with the most progressive COM
munities. Under the. present
arrangement our third grade
teachers are paid $50; second
grade teachers, $40; and first
grade teachers, $45. This is not
an equitable adjustment of sala-
ries for the reason that the
teacher is not paid in proportion
to his attachments. It takes a
very limited amount to obtain a
third grade certificate. The
second grade certificate is much
more diMcult to obtain, and no
one can pass a first grade ex-
animation unless he has received
C0llege education or it's equiva-
lint. Yet the inducement Of

The Drama in Gotham.

New York, Oct. 8, 1902.
Mrs. Fiske is actively rehearsing her
company in Mary of Magdala,'' Paul
Heyse's historical drama of Jerusalem
in the time of Tiberius. The play has
been in preparation for eighteen months
jim cne or another field of labor. In
scenery and costumes and other de-
tails it promises to be a notable produc-
tion. Mrs. Fisl1e will act the title part,
assisted by Tyrone Power. Rose Eytinge
Henry Woodruff. Max Figman, James
Young, Ida Hamilton, and other capable
artists. The date of the frs. perform
ance is not yet announced.
Iris" with Virginia Harmed as the
heroine, is the theatrical sensation of
the season, and rightly so, for it is the
mCst brutal play ever made known in
this couatry--a cataclysm of emotional
riot. In London the title part was
acted by Fay Davis, fragile young
woman; but Miss Harmed possesses none
OF these physical qualities. In the
strong situations Miss Harmed gives a
rather poor imitation of Olga Neither
sole, with her disagreeable mannerisms;
but in the lighter scenes she is at
tractive and at her best. Iris" is not
so good as The Second Mrs. Tan
queray," but it is powerful drama, and
SO disagreeable that some theatergoers
will not care to see it. The real star
of the performance is Oscar Asche, an
English actor. He makes a polished.
brutal villain. and in the final scene.
after thrashing Iris and throwing her
out into the street. he winds up the
play by smashing all the furniture and
bric-a- -brac in the house. He plays
the scene S ; well that it sends the au-
dience ho:ae in daze. Asche is a fine

Hall Game Hearkens to Public Voice.

Since La Dame aux Camellas ana
"Frou-Frou." few authors have ventured
to kill their heroines in an emotional
drama.
In the original .sZaza,'' the French
authors ended their drama at the fourth
act, the courtesan having cast out her
lover, and gone back to her forme
life. Belasco saved the play by adding
a fifth act, in which "Zaza" was shown
as having reformed. Pinero has hout-
ed public opinion in iris an act III

Donna Roma an innocent woman in his
dramatization of .The Eternal CITY.
Harking back TO .'The Christian" it
will be recalled that there was what
seemed TO many an unnecessary
hullabaloo made over the purity, or
rather lack of it, of Glory Quayle. Tc
some it appeared that Hall Game, In
his book. meant it to be understood tha'
Glory had fallen, but this the author,
with directIess and force. absolutel,
denied. There were those. however. who
insisted that the author meant one thing
while saying another.
Hall Caine, most likely. had these
points in mind when he wrote his book.
.The Eternal City," and later on dra-
matized it. While Glory was unques-
tionably an innocent girl. both in the
book and the play, it is different with
the heroine of 1.-THE Eternal City
While Glory in the book might be open
to suspicion, there is no question as 10
Donna Roma: she admits her guilt, bit
seeks TO justify her fall.
How Hall Caine the dramatist has
changed his story in the play so that
Roma's good name is not brought into
question can only be told at this time In
a brief way. The story of The Eternal
City, in the form of drama has not
been told: that is a matter for future
consideration, and until the curtain
rings down on the opening performance
at the National Theater tomorrow even
ing this secret will be carefully guard
led. It may be stated as a fact, however.
that in the play the intimacy existing
between Donna Roma and the Baron
BonelIi is treated as a falsehood, and
the ending of the play finds Roma safe
ly EMBODIED in Davids arms, thus trans
forming the tale-in the book a tragedy,
in the play thrilling and in the end
sweet love story. To accomplish this
tie author dramatist has strengthened
rather than weakened his story.
In point of fact, he has blotted out of
