local Trustees of Public Schools
Hold Meeting In. Lafayette
to Discuss Schools and
Roads.

lSSueu ny OuPu' "
local trustees of the schools OF
the parish held a conference at
the court house in Lafayette, on
Dec. 16. Supt. Roy addressed
the trustees upon the important
duties which they can discharge
in the interest of the schools. 1t
was shown that the local trustee
is an important factor in bring
ing all the children of the com
munity into the school, and that
in many ways he can contribute
to the best interest of the school
by cooperation with the teacher.
The subject of fixed revenues
for the schools was introduced
for discussion by DR.. Moss. pres
ident of the school board. He
argued that it was greatly to the
disadvantage of school work that
schools boards should be SO
largely dependent on appropria
tons made by police juries and
city councils for the maintenance
of the schools. Under this sys'
tenn the school authorities were
in q constant state of doubt and
uncertainty in planning the work
of each school session, BECAUSE
it was impossible to ever know
how much, or how little money
these public bodies might b
able. or might be willing, to ap
propriate for schools each year
1.-The amounts contributed undel
the present system were contin
gent upon too many side issues
such as yellow fever or small POI
epidemics, or other emergencie'
that arise from time to time, AM
politics too. DIR. Moss argues
in substance that the work o
public education was q vast AM
