We have examined the books of the
Parish Treasurer, In a casual way, be-
| ing limited in time, ana were unable to
carefully examine the parish accounts.
We found the books all well kept and
noted that every attention was shown us
by the courteous treasurer. The tinan-
ces IF the parish seem to be in good
condition.
In reference to school matters, we
find that the School Board of this parish
has on hand in the treasury some $20, :
600 absolutely idle; we do not think this
is wise or proper. If the School Board
cannot find use for this money which is
accommodating yearly, through liberal
taxation by the Police Jury, we submit
that The apportionment should be de-
creased. We find that the schools are
tiourishing and are run for longer pc
RODS of time then heretofore. We re-
pret TO saw that there seem To be some
neglect among the people IN the matter
Of sending their children TO school. II
they cannot be awakened to the sense of
Injustice done the chillren in this par
tIcuar we deem it unwise TO continue to
pile up in the parish treasury the en0r-
nous funds which are idle and useless to
the schools. We believe that much of
this money can be wisely used by the
School Board in building large aud com
mOdiOuS and modern school houses in
the different walds. The greatest source
of danger to the country, i'll our Judg-
ment, is the accumulation of large sums
of money left idle and useless in the
School Board to take immediate action
herein, and if the money is not TO be
used and cannot De used as intended by
the taxpayers and law of the country
perhaps way can be found to Ieturn 1t
to the respective wards in loans for the
use of bridges and roads of the parrish,
at least We would deem it wise on part
of the School Board to consider this SUBJ
ject at its approaching meeting III July.
We had a most pleasant visit to the
State Normal School and found that the
session Just lately closed was the most
successful i'll every particular. We found
the affairs of that institution wI.ely ad-
miDiStered and congratulate the State
upon the Sprndid work done in the cau>e
of education by this great and grand In
sttuuOn. The summer term OF the
Normal Just opened, while AN eXDerl-
ment bids fair 10 be crow ned with en-
mir ent success; over three hundred STU
dents have matricuIated, and an able
corps of teachers have them IN charge
and we have no doubt thar the summer
term of the Normal School VIII be pro-
life of good to the teachers of the State.
We thank your Honor for the able and
lucid charge given us, when we were
It served TO Tighten our bur-
1ens mater tally. Our efficient District
Attorney assisted us most materially and
we desire to thank him tor the courteous !
attention given us. Our most affable,
