per cent and above was reached
by only three schools in the
parish, the Alex MARTIN Jr.,
the Lafayette, and the Scott
school which heads the list with
an average attendance of SS
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 schOOlhouses are
a disgrace to the parish, and it
would be we'll for the Board to
adopt a systematic plan to have
them enlarged and repaired.
1t is advisable to open the
town schools on the first of
Septem Der. 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. ALLEN
Submits An Interesting Report
to the school BOard-ChanHes
Recon- m ndeI.


Board at itsmeeting held on
July II:
To tie President and Members EFF tie Board
ef .Schooi Direclo,s!
1t is with some degree of salts
faction that l 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
lsh 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
ment.
I 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 remarka bic absence
of petty wranglinS over matters
OF minor Importance which SO
often mars the proceedings of
public bodies and make intelli-
gent systematic work impOSsi-
bic. 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 sui Gent
to elevate our system of schools
up to the standard of efficiency
so much desired. We have been
compelled to employ 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 to
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 a just claim on the
public funds. and, [ venture to
say, the people and their repre-
SentativeS on the Police Jury are
prepared to vote the much
needed increase. This parish
has 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 60
hand in hand, and they are good
index to the general intelligence
OF the community supporting
them. Exactly the same cOndi-
tions 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 pu bic senti-
ment. The only thing we lack is
the funds without which we can
not hope to move forward.
AS has been already sug-
geSted,
OUR SALARIES
are too low. The average salary
to white teachers in this parish
is $50, and it should be about
$42.5O. This increase of salary
would require an additional
$2,46O per year, but it would
give US a high standard of
teachers and it would elevate

No doubt it is as amusing
to you as it is to us-to look
at the footwear which some.
other shoe stores persist in !.
calling "PROPER2 Ae do
not know what their standard
of correctness" is, we only
know that our standard are
the fashions which the parti-
cular dressers of New York
and Philadelphia have de-
creed correct-the produc-
tons of leading footwear de-
signers. The same styles are
here-tllose same shoes, not
limitations of them. No other
shoe store in this city can get
them, because we control the
output for Washington-have
iron-bound contracts with
these makers which prevent
them from selling others.
Everything of any conse- ,
quence is initiated, and so are
these styles. AS long as they
cannot get them they must
find makers who will make
shoes which appear like them,
but the careful dresser can
see the difference at once
there's scarcely any need to
call your attention to them.
The distinctiveness of Our
street shoes cannot be equal
ed-the daintiness of richness
of our evening and reception
footwear and carriage and
boudoir slippers are not ap-
preciated.
If you are a particular
dresser you will never be sat
ished with any other.
And as tor novelties IN
sporting footwear for women
and men, there's no other
showing in town which is
worthy of the name.
The exclusive and correct
styles are here in great as
sortment in hunting, shoot
ing, riding boots-in fencing
footwear j in footwear for
gymnastics.
