Rascoe- miss Carrie Brown, teacher;
enrolment II, average IL; course of
study, third grade; cost of school per
month, $45; house 20 by IS feet, rough
and situated in the dense woods with
only small open space around the door,
steps; furniture rough and primitive; no
appliances. This school has been con-
Quoted under very great difficulties. The
pupils show, however, that they have
been well-taught. The teacher deserves
premium for her fortitude, patience
and industry. The patrons are generally
well-to-do and could afford better facil-
tiles. Their indifference is inexcusible.

feet; neatly painted; situated in large
open court, with a few shade trees
around-would suggest the planting of
more; furniture rough and improvised;
room decorated with evergreens and
suggestive pictures. Taken all in all, it
was one of the neatest and tidiest school.
rooms in the parish. The surroundings
are inviting and suggestive of culture;
the pupils are polite and refined; they
entered into an examination with great
zest, thus proving the excellent work
done by the teacher. It is safe to predict
bright future in store for some of the
pupils.

enrolment 81, average 1876; course of
study, third grade; cost OF school per
month, $35; house 20 by Is feet, rough
and situated on uninviting site; furni-
ture crude and improvised. School was
not in session on the day of my visit on
account of the illness of the teacher,
hence cannot speak of its personality.
Miss McAnn, however, bears the repu-
tation of being a good teacher.

five home made; appliances, two maps
OF Louisiana, one globe, one pair of
scales, Bells Combination Chart, good
blackboard, well for water supply. This
school, like that at Rascoe, is situated in
the midst of thick brush, nothing
ornate in its surroundings. Miss Florence

The pupils were bright, cheerful and
polite; eager to answer questions and
to show that they had been well taught.

the faithful, honest work she has done
for her pupils.
