your next issue of The Lafay-
cite Gazette:
The parish school board at a
special meeting on Nov. 10,
passed some resolutions not very
complimentary to me, and or
dered publication of statements
for the information of the public.
[ submit that six members of
the school board, the superin-
tendent of schools, and the prin-
cipal of the High School, is a
tough proposition for one man
to tackle; but believing that I
am right, and that the afore-
mentioned individuals are not a
law unto themselves, [ ask the
public to carefully read their
proceedings, and see if they have
disprCved any one thing that I
charged against the superin-
tendent of public schools of this
parish. Some of the gentlemen
were profuse in throwing bou
Quets at each other: and it was
somewhat natural that resOlu-
tiOns should be passed: but the
resolu tions, as passed, do me
great Injustice. Please note that
DR.. Moss says, "Whereas Capt.
J. G.. Buchanan has openly
charged the school board of La
fayette parish with maladminis-
tratiOn Of the school funds, and
has likewise charged the super
intendent of public schools of
this parish with gross violation
of the school laws"
I positively deny the above
charge relative to the SfHoolboa'a,
and brand this statement made
by DR.. n. p. Moss as absolutely
false. If the members of the
board believed DR.. Moss state
ment, 1 do not blame them for
voting for the resolutions. [ did
make charges against the Super
intendent. See proceedings of
the police jury, Nov. 5. stand
by the record.
1t is not true that l have been
'unwarranted and vindictive,
and shown continuous antago-
nism to the public schools Of

In superintendent Alleman's
statement appears the following:
An examination Of our printed
course will show that not one
adopted book has been set
aside" AS I never charged
that the State books We're not in
his ':PrlufrH eoH,-S<," but that
some of them were not used in
the schools, his statement is at
least not ingenious; and he says,
We have been using supplement
tary books, not on the list, for
two years; and up to the present
time, there has been but one
solitary complaint nade-and
that one by Capt. J. G. Buch-
anan.'
heard gentleman, in very
positive language, complain to
Mr.. Avery, principal Of the High
School, about his son getting THE

man should have known of this
complaint.
I understand that the State
Board ofEducation, after consult
ing with prominent educators, adop-
ted the books recommended by
them: and that they ordered
those books land no others), to
be taught in the public schools
of the State; and arranged by
contract for the same the price
to be stamped on the book. Why
these books should be set aside,
and others used, whose price is
fixed by the local dealer. are
pertinent questions.
If DR.. Moss had studied the
proprieties, he would possibly
have learned that it would have
been more becoming in him tC

Ten thousand empty beer bottles were
incorporated in the structure. Theinside

nearly half a mile. The grotnds are
beautifully laid out, and there are
miles of driveways and foopaths. a
quaint clock and watch tower over 100
feet in height rises above the stone
stables. The residence is the old fash

former governor of the state. 1t is
soon to be replaced by new one more

ings. On the water front are a long
private landing pier and n large build

devices Of architecture. This is the
tea house, where guests and visitors
are entertained and where the festivi-
ties attendant on the wedding of Sena-
