the trouble. She overwhelmed Donald
with expressions Of gratitude and as
surances Of her great and triumphant
faith in his powers.
The poor boy was dazed as II by
some sudden and weighty sorrow. He
repeated, THANK you: thank you, Mrs.
Kelvin" in the manner Of one who
receives condolences that are power
less to draw his mind away from his
bereavement. While we were riding
home he was unable to restrain his
tears, and, being at the age when one
is most ashamed Of them. he knuckled
his eyes diligently.
The deacon and Dorothy were on the
veranda rs we drove up, and Carl
Archer came out of the house a mo-
ment later.
"Uncle will tell you," said Donald,
evading questions and questioners with
q nervous haste. "I've got to dress for
dinner"
He was half way up the stairs, as
4 judged by his speed, before any one
could utter a word to restrain him.
Thus deserted by the hero Of the oc-
casion, told my story as briefly and
clearly as I could. Carl occasionally
interrupted me with question. but
Dorothy and the deacon said nothing.

different light.

All of the industrial depart

presented busy appearance.
In the sewing room a number of
the girls were clipping and
stitching and shaping and max
ing things mysterious to the
masculine mind. An air Of
cheerfulness filled the room and
made one wish to linger and see
their nimble fingers fashion
some bewitching article of

In the telegraphy room the
click of keys and the intense
interest of the students made it
interesting to the observer.
The workshop was one of the

seers, and was busy place.
The students demonstrated their
familiarity with the machinery
and the use of the tools by doing
their tasks readily and with
facility. Other departments
were in operation and all proved
of much interest and profit to
the visitors. The gymnasium
was opened for the ladies as it
was the girls day, and no doubt
was of great interest to those
who saw it.

will be productive of much good.

thought that the event will be

INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE.
The COnvOcatiOn of the Schools FRI
day a Success. A Number of the
Parish Schools Take Part.

Au0lUOflum was present at tne
cOnvOcatiOn of the schools of the
parish. Teachers and children
from BrOussard, Pilette, Caren-
Gro, Scott, the town schools and
the Industrial School assisted in
the exercises. Addresses were
made by Representatives elect p.
l.. DeClOuet and J. Gilbert St.
Julien, Supt. L. J. Alleman and
Prof. G. J. Young.
DR.. E. L. Stephens opened the
exercises with a neat little speech
in which he explained the OBJ
ject of the cOnvOcatiOn, to bring
the schools closer together. and
more in touch with the Indust trial
School. He then introduced the
children from the BrOussard
School, who rendered a pleasing
song which evoked hearty ap-
plause,
Maj. DeClOuet was the first
speaker. He paid a nice tribute
to the schools of the parish,
spoke upon the need and neces-
sity of education, not only for the
children of this parish, but for
all the State. and pledged his
best efforts in the cause before
the Legislature. He addressed
part of his rem arks to the chill
dren present telling them it
would be criminal in them not
to avail themselves of the fine
schools and the thoroughly Or
ganized school system of Lafay-
cite parish, 70 make themselves
good and useful citizens. Then
he spoke of duty, quoting the
words of that peerless soldier,
Lee, DUTY is the sublimest
word in the English language"
and urged the teachers to cleave
to the line of duty that when the
time of rest should come upon
them they would merit well done

The Pilette school was re-
presented by twenty or more
bright faced children, who sang
Along the Shore" most enter
tainingly, receiving generous
share of applause.
Supt. Alleman followed speak
ing at some length upon live
and much discussed question,
that of consolidation of rural
schools. He called attention to
the tendency of the times to con-
solidation along all lines Of human
endeavor, instancing the COM
binations of industrial enter
prises, railroads, and labor
unions, stating that combination
was the key note of the nine
teenth century. The schools,
following the spirit of the age,
and moving along progressive
lines, had also discovered that
consolidation was advantageous
and effective, and that in various
parts Of this country as found by
actual demonstrations had in
creased inhigh efficiency. With
a blackboard illustration, he
showed the plan of consolidation
in a Kansas township, where nine
ineffective schools had been con-
solidated into one large central
school where graded courses
replaced, the ungraded attempts
at teaching. This simple vet
desirable result had been at
tanned by the establishment Of
nine wagon routes. costing less
