PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.
Misses Fadra Holmes and Ze-
liza Christian, two of the most
jealous teachers in Lafayette par
iSh, gave their children a lesson
in patriotism on Friday, Febru-
airy 20, in memOrating the birth
and life of the greatest name in
American histOry-WaShing ton.
The Gazette had occasion to re-
fer few weeks ago to the little
attention paid to the subject of
civics in our public schools. The
subject can best be introduced
to young children through the
lives of such men as Washington,
Lee and Lincoln. While it is i'm
possible to have formal civics in
the lower grades of public schools
much interest can be aroused
and local government can be
protita bly, studied by the children
of the lowest grades. The sub
ject can and should be taught in
the same manner as local geOg-
raphy is now taught by pro-
greSsive teachers
Miss Agnes Morris, of the
State Normal School has pre-
pared pamphlet on the civil
government of Louisiana which
would be of value to all teachers
1t is to be hoped that next time
Washington's ir5hday comes
ish will take advantage of the OPP
pOrtunity to impress upon their
children the sublimity of char
acter possessed by The FatherOf
his cOuntry' and to teach patri-
otism. We are all American citi-
zenS and the sooner our children
are taught this fact the better.
On page 80 of Superintendent
Alleman's pamphlet recently is
sued to the teachers we find these
words: 1T is we'll to have exer-
ciseS on such days as Thanks
giving, Washington $ birthday,
Christmas eve, etc. In graded
and central schools exercises
should be given Oftener.'
Work on the Chas. Burke school
at Ridge has been begun. All
communities of the parish have
their eyes conferred there.
The fine tWO-stOry school build
ing at BrOussard is now finished
and the desks are mounted. The
building on the exterior is painted
white and the blinds green. The
ceilings are painted white to re-
fleet the light and the walls are
a light shade of green which is
known to be one Of the most rest
full cOlOrS to the eye. The cray
on boards will be dark green
which will serve the double Dur-
pose Of being good for the eyes
and at the same time be in con-
sonancc with the color scheme of
the interior.
The teachers and citizens of
Broussard and vicinity are be-
ginning to make active prepara-
tiOns for the grand celebration to
take place in the near future, on
which occasion Prof. Fortier will
be the orator of the day. Citi-
zenS from all over the parish will
bepresentand the public spirited
members Of the SOntag Military
Band will be invited to contribute
to the success of the exercises
with some of it's good music

Washington, D. c., Dec. 27.-The
notes received from the European gov

agree to submit the question at issue
to the tribunal at The Hague. A note
is now being prepared by Secretary
Hay, in which this government an
nounces its hearty approval of such a
course There appears to be no Ques-
ton of the fact that it is the general
understanding that the Monroe doc
trine is not to enter into the question
of arbitration.
London, Dec. 27.-The latest phase
of the Venezuelan trouble has been
welcomed very lukewarmly.
Arbitration by President Roosevelt
had been anticipated as so desirable
an issue from the difficult business
that his refusal. which is regarded as
final, has caused keen disappoint-
ment. 1t is foreseen that even if sat
isfactOry conditions to submission of
the disputes to The Hague court can
be arranged, this method will entail
endless and wearisOme details, with
no assurance that at the end Castro
still VIII be in power or Venezuela in
mood to abide by the decision OF
The Hague In short that element OF
guarantee which would have accom-
panied ROosevelt's acceptance of the
Office of arbitrator is now lacking. Al
the same time it is readily admitted
that from the American point of view
the president has acted wisely in de
clining to act.
