ference last week. We were call
ed by the state superintendent
to assemble in Marksville on
Wednesday morning and more
than fifty of US were there. The
good people of the town and sur
rounding country placed at our
disposal buggies, hacks, carri-
ages and automobiles, which we
filled and started out in two Sec
tlOnS to visit some of the rural
schools. happened to be in the
second section, and visited the
village schools of HesSmer and
Mansura, also one or two one
room schools the first day. The
second day we took the route
which the first section had taken
the previous day and saw only
one and two-rooms rural schools.
The first thing that attracted
my attention was the thickly set.
tied country. We were never
out of sight of a white mans
house, and at almost any time
six or more could be seen at
once, each one with a small farm
of from twenty to a hundred
acres adjoining. At Hessmer,
DR.. Roy told me that his ward
had five white schools in it with
forty to two hundred pupils
each, and only three negro fami-
lies lived in the entire ward. The
large number of white children
was very noticeable. The peo.
pie are all French, keep strong
and healthy, marry young, and a
childlesS household is a very rare
thing to find among them. /
was told that there are many
schools in the parish with ten
pupils from the same family,
and few with even more. |
saw several rooms with 81 chill
dren in them under one teacher.
The time and attention the
people there are willing to give
their schools and the evident
pride they take in them were the
best things | saw. Several doc
tors and lawyers from the towns
accompanied US both days, after
meeting us at the trains and
sending US to the homes of the
citizens, to which we had been
assigned and in which we were
gladly received and most hos
pitably entertained, and some of
the patrons met US at every
school and could not keep from
showing that they were glad to
have US visit their parish and
that they thought more of their
schools than of anything else in
the parish. Nota one was heard
complaining about the great cost
of the schools and the high taxes
they had to pay to build and
maintain them; on the other
hand, more than one told me that
the best thing they ever did in
the parish was to vote the school
tax and they intended to vote
more. They have a right to be
proud; for a new, attractive, COM

with good desks and surrounded
by Fairgrounds and school gar

child in the parish.
At Hessmer on Wednesday in
the beautiful new home of DR..
POret we were served a dinner
that made US think we we're in
the banquet hall of the st.
Charles Hotel, and out in the
country near the Island school
we sat down to a dinner on
Thursday that reminded US of

school boys, who took US to their
homes for the night. Friday
morning we visited the Bunkie
High School and the farm at
tached thereto, as it is one of the
new agricultural schools. Prof.
Hughes had possibly the banner
school garden of the state last
session, and the pupils are at
work to repeat or surpass the
record then made. He showed
us a quarter of an acre from
which the boys sold forty dollars
worth of cabbages last year, and
lost no time from their studies in
working them. The example of
the boys has stimulated the peo-
pie and four or five carloads of
cabbages were shipped from
Bunkie this year for the first
time in its history.
Bunkie has a new frame high
school building well arranged
and adapted to the work of the
school, but the people are not

men, if this board means a row,
and Roy, and good schools, I'm

lar board was appointed, and Mr..
Roy began his work just five
years ago with the opposition
and bitter hatred of nearly every
man in the parish; but so well
and wisely has he labored that
not man can be found to speak
against him and many say that
he has done more for the parish
than any other one man that has
ever lived in it.
