ST. LANDRY PARISH SCHOOLS

C. j. Thompson Esq. our Wor-
thy superintendent Of public
schools for st. Landry, submitted
the following report to the con-
ference Of Parish Superintendent
In session at Baton Rouge recent
":
AS the ending days Of the fleet
ing year are rolling by, there seems
to be d proneness in man to take
q retrospective look on the months
that have passed with a view 81 as
pertaining what he has aecoa-
plished, what have been the rs..ts
Of his endeavor, and what sub
stantial progress he has male IN
the realization of the ideals s8n ch
he had placed before him fcr at
tainment. Especially is LIS
characteristic Of retrospective IN
vestigation prevalent among the
more intelligent, cultured and
reasoning people OF our species.
The merchant has his annual bal
ance sheet, and his inventory OF
stock for his Information and guld-
ance. the ecclesiastical and theo-
logical bodies of the world have
their annual conferences, their
synods, and their various asso-
cations, where an exchange Of ex-
perience is given, where sug-
gestions for future work are made,
and where the summation OF the
wears work in the achievement
of definite results is given for guild
ance to the accomplishment OF
future successes, or the avoid
ance Of past errors.
The educational bodies OF the
country, too, have awakened 70
the necessity of this custom, and
are now, all over the country,
holding conventions and confer
ences and meetings Of various
kinds for the exaltation OF the
work III which educators are en-
gagged. III order that this work
may be satisfactorily carried on.
IT IS necessary that we should tel

our rural districts and which
make educational development
very slow; that is the fact that
English is little spoken there and
a great majority of the people are
illiterate. | have found, in my
experience, that the average coun-
try teacher who speakes French
makes little or no progress in
teaching the children to speak
English. The ability to speak
both langl a yes should be an ad-
vantage, if properly utilized, but
it seems that those whose custom
it has been to speak French will
not speak English to the French
speaking children, and as a con-
sequence of this failure on the
part of the teacher, the children
do not learn English, and there
by fail to intelligently study and
learn English-printed books.
1t may be suggested that we en-
ploy only English-speaking teach
ers. In reply to this suggestion,
| will say that we have tried, and
are now trying this scheme, but
the difficulty in the way of its
success is to get teachers OF that
sort to remain at their posts.
They complain Of the isolation
of the situation, a difference in the
manner of living among these peo-
pie, the hardships which they have
to endure and various other things
and l have found it very difficult
to operate these schools for long
periods, because of these condi-
lions. At the beginning Of the
session, recently begun, | pro-
cured teachers for nearly all OF the
neighborhoods thus situated, and
thought possibly that | might be
able to operate them successfully
under the changed administration,
but | am now receiving, almost
daily, letters from the teachers
informing me that they will not
teach their schools longer than the
first term of this session.
If teachers were plentiful,
enough might be procurable to
| continue the policy by filling the
vacancy occasioned by the resig-
nation of one by the employment
of another but all school people
know that this is not the situation,
and | am compelled to wait so long
sometimes for the appearance OF
another teacher on the scene that
the good work of the first is lost
, before another can be found. |
would value any suggestion from
any one which would solve this
: problem and place it within my
power to make the operation OF
! schools, under good teachers, con-
: tinuous in these districts. |
+ might say much more about our
; schools, but in the invitation ex-
, tended for the writing of this re-
port there was a limit placed on
its length, hence my reason for
| bringing it to a close 50 abruptly.

each other what we have been do
ing, how we have been doing it,
and with what difficulties and OBJ
structions we have had to con-
tend. !
In making this retrospective sur
vey of my field of labor I find that
from a material standpoint, | did
not accomplish as much in 1907
as | did in 1906, the amount of
permanent school provisions was
not SO great, in the way of build
ing and equipping schoolhouses,
and yet there was an increase of
general interest in educational
matters. The reasons for a small
er outlay of voluntary cash con-
tributions by individuals and COM
munities can be accounted for by
assigning for them a bad crop
year, a political year, and the
stringency in the money market,
caused by the late panicky and un-
stable condition of the
finances of this country. How
ever, the year 1907 has not been
without beneficial results with us
and it affords me pleasure to be
able to show that we are not
halted and standing still, but that
the good work of educational pro-
gress is still going on.
During 1907 we have had built
by donation four good country
sc~hoolhouses, and have establish
ed two graded schools, one at
Point Chataignier, and one at
Prairie Ronde. We have made
application for the establishment
of three high schools, one at Vile
Platte, one at Grand Prairie and
one at Eunice. / am happy to
say that these schools will soon be
recognized as high schools, be-
ca Use they, or at least two of them
in which | have lately made an in
vestigation, now meet the con-

Teachers Association, has requested that
teachers who attend the institute at
Reno next month, to come prepared to
discuss the following new school laws and
amendments to the present school laws:

the necessary tax levies and that they
could have adequate time to secure
teachers.
2. A law authorizing the city school
board to fix the tenure of Office OF the
city superintendent not to exceed four
years.

granting of teachers certificates.

tricts for administrative purposes.
9. A law changing the basis of the
apportionment of school attendance
rather than the census will determine
what each district is to receive.
10. State tax to be apportioned
among the city and county high schools.
