A feature of the annual exhibit
on Monday will be an auction sale of
furniture made by the boys in the
work shop. Many valuable pieces of
furniture have been produced by the
boys from time to time and there has
been a great demand for it, but the
school usually keeps it for the pur-
poses of exhibition Now, however,
all will be sold but few pieces need
ed for the parish fair next fall.
Arrangements and plans for the
Summer Normal are going ahead rap
idly. Our citizens stand morally bound
however, to raise $3.50 more, in addi-
ton to the $3.50 that has been voted by
the City Council and Police Jury. Thus
far the following private contributions
made to the fund are: Parkerson &
Mouton, So; Miss Rhena Boudreaux,
$40. It is hoped that the entire $3.50
will be shortly forthcoming.
The following have already applied
