Mr.. Lefebvre is anative of Louisiana,
born in Iberville Parish, from where
he moved in his early manhood to his
present home of West Baton Rouge
and where he has continuously lived
and followed the occupation Of a
farmer.
Although he is not like all other con-
gressmen and congressional aspirants,
an attorney at Law yet he has
proved his ability to serve his parish
and State in public position with due
credit to himself and his constituents
in various capacities.
In 1892 he was called upon by a
unanimous vote to serve his district in
the State Senate where he early
gained influence and prominence.
He served his parish in the constitu-
tional convention of 1898, and no man
labored more earnestly than he to Sc
cure to the white people of the State
the absolute right of State, parish and
ward government.
In 1896 he was nominated and elect
ed to the position of sheriff of his
parish, which position he filled to the
entire satisfaction of his constituents
until 1899 when he was prevailed upon
to accept the position of member of
the Board of Commissioners of the
Atchafalaya Basin Levee District
where he has continuously served since
and Of which Board he has been the
honored president for the past FIVE
years.
Mr.. Lefebvre is an ardent advocate
of the improvement. by the National
Government, of inland waterways of
the State and district, that navigable
streams may be offered as a check
and barrier to exorbitant railroad
rates and corporation. In fact the
ambition of his life seems to be de-
voted to the fostering and advance
ment of the States best interest and
especially to her agricultural and
manufacturing industries, and should
he be selected to serve his district in
the national congress there is no doubt
of his ability and untiring energy in

schoolhouses. This we have tried to
remedy, but it has taken money to
build and equip them, and this has been
at the expence of the length OF school
term.
Another considerable factor in the
length of the terms of rural schools,
we nave found to be convenient and
comfortable boarding place for the
teacher. This we have tried to remedy
by the selection for these schools OF
teachers who have been raised IN
similar surroundings to those they VIII
find in these neighborhoods, and yet we
have met with only partial success
along this line.
Another serious condition which has
mitigated much against long term OF
school for the rural schools OF tins
parish, and one which we have not
been able to remedy, has been the
very low average of attendance,
brought about by the taking OF chill
dren out of school for all kind OF farm
work. in many schools the average
has at times been so low as to make
the continuance of the school a doubt
full propriety, while in some nelghbor-
hooQs we have been forced to close
the schools altogether. In some in
stances the local trustees have closed
the schools to be able to put the chill
| dren n the fields, and nave LETT so
short part OF the term as to make 1t
! inadvisaDle to put teacher to work
until the beginning OF the next regu-
lar term, when we nave tried to remedy
such shortage. This last obstacle to a
longer term will never be removed
until our people realize that an edu-
cation is of vital Importance to every
boy and girl, and that the only time
and place to get it is now and in the
school nearest to home.
In closing this reply, we would like
to state for the benent OF those who
do not know it that about two years
ago the grand jury OF this parish was
invited by the superintendent to en-
quire into the affairs of this beard al
it's pleasure. 1t seems rather strange
that Just at this time, on the eve OF
an election for district officers, II
should conclude to do so. In view OF
the statements made and precedents
ing followed by this Board as above
stated, it appears to US much like
campaign document.
1t matters little to us what people
think of us, or what epitaph is writ
for this board by the district attorney
as the advisor OF the grand jury; w
have the conscientiousness OF having
done our duty faithfully, to the yer.
best of our ability, and with the yer.
limited resources at our command. w
feel that we need no other detens'
than the healthy condition of tn
schools of this parish, and the inftu
ence on the future school work in tn
parish of some movements we hay
. lnaugurated. Respectfully,
