HIGH SCHOOL OPENS.
Monday, September Z, at -
IL. Neutrality-suspicious. Invited
to be Present.

! The Lafayette High Schoo
will open Monday morning and
the faculty cordially invites the
public, and particularly the
patrons and parents of the
children attending, to be pre-,
sent for the opening.
1t is the purpose of the faculty
and School Board to make this
one of the best ana most pro
gressivc high schools in Louis
lana. 1t can be done. There is
no reason why it should not be
done; and now is the time to be-
gin-rathcr the time to begin
exerting greater energy towards
consum mating that purpose.
This year should be one of the
most fruitful years in the his
tory of the school. 1t certainly
can be made the best year.
Why: Because the people are
more thoroughly aroused to the
Importance of public education,
and more fully in sympathy with
the work and the workers in the
public schools Of Lafayette than
at any time heretofore.
There are possibly some who
do not take as deep an interest
in the schools as they should
from various trivial reasons
apathy. Indifference, disinter-
etc. To these we
say, make it business to look
after the schools; busy your
selves with their welfare: give
the teachers your symapthy
and support, and, thereby up
hold the dignity of your town,
your parish and your state, and
help fortify the one indestruct-
able and imperis liable bulwark

Opening Of The lnalllStria
Institute.

Opening Of The In,i,lstr ri.,
Institute.
The third annual session of tn,
Southwestern Louisiana Indus
trial Institute will open on Wed
ncsday, September is, with ;
faculty of eleven instructors Il:
during the past session. All in
dicatiOns point to an increase ir
attendance and to a most pros
porous years work. Numerous
inquiries, we are informed, have
come in to the president of the
Institute from young gentlemen
and young ladies seeking admis'
sion and desiring suitable places
to board.
Of the faculty of the last ses
sion two members are not to re-
turn, having resigned their posi-
tions: Miss Emily Huger, who
will remain at her home in New
Orleans; and Professor E. B.
Smith, who is now with his
family in Nova Scotia. These
teachers are to be replaced, so
that the faculty for the next ses
sion will be at least as large as it
was during the session just
closed.
All members of the faculty
have been away from Lafayette
during the Summer. President
Stephens and Mrs. Stephens
have been in North Carolina
since July, and are now daily ex-
pected back at the Institute.
Miss MayfeId has spent her va
cation with her parents and re-
latives at Rus ton. Miss Dupre
has also spent the Summer at
home, in Opelousas. Mr.. Mayer
and his family spent some time
on the Gulf coast, after which
they visited Chicago, devoting
some time at the great Univer-
sity of Chicago. Mr.. Ashby
WoOdsOn attended the session
South at Knoxville, Tenn, after
which he visited relatives and
friends at his old home near
Miller School and in Richmond.
Va. Miss Hugh McLaurin has
been spending her Summer at
home in MOnteagle, Tenn. Pro-
fessor F'lOrent Sontag resumes
his position as teacher of music
at the Institute. His return will
be hailed with pleasure by all.
Mr.. Roy, after teaching in the
school at New Iberia
during the month of June,
visited his relatives in Avoyelles
several weeks. Mr.
is spending his vaca-
tion with his parents at East
r. l.. whence he is
within the next few
days.
The young ladies' dormitory
will again be in charge of Mrs.
Elizabeth F. Baker, the efficient
natron of the Institute. Mrs. !
Baker has spent nearly the en-
ire Sumner with friends and
:elatives near Natchez, Miss,
md will return to the Institute
about the 18th instant
All students desiring to enter
he Institute during the next
session should apply promptly ;
It 9 O'Clock on the morning of
Wednesday, the 10Th. All exa /
for admission Of new
scholars and for conditions now
against old students !
will be held on the 10th. Classes
will be organized on the 18th and |
work will begin on the
lay following. |

1t is said that the City Coun-
Gil at it's next meeting will pass
an ordinance to build Shillinger
walks from the Court House to
the Railroad. The plan pro-
posed is to make abutting
property owners pay two thirds
the cost, the town to pay one
third. This is move in the
right direction, and in perfect
accord with the general pros
perity of Lafayette aud the eff
forts that are being made in
other towns of South and South
west Louisiana towards muni-
cipal improvement. We learn
that Opelousas has already
passed an ordinance to the
above effect, and is now curb
ing her main sidewalks with
brick preparatory to filing in
and smoothing off the tops of
same with concrete. Let US
not lag behind in the good
work.

Among other things. he was very

On one certain day not long ago he

for him to recover them without get

So John started for his home feeling
