SCOTT

| interesting program rendered de-
serves praise. One of the most no.
| ticeable features was the ease and
utter lack of self consciousness on
the part of the children showing in
| tent, we'll trained minds. A large as
sembly was comfortably seated; the
ladies of the School Improvement
League served refreshments; and the
grounds and buildings We're well
| lighted. The school had nine
| months term, due to the aid of the
Scott corporation. Principal, Mr.. w.
0. Deem; Assistants, Miss Williams
and Miss Morgan. DR.. L. A. Prejean,
Mayor of Scott, welcomed the visitors
and made a plea for the support of
our school authorities, assuring those
present that these officers were doing
work for the good of all and must
be encouraged and assisted in their
efforts.
Then Dr. Martin, Mayor of Lafa-
yette, delivered an address, and it was
a treat to all present, not only in the
choice of his utterances but in the
sympathy which they evoked. The
Doctor expressed himself in favor of
applying the present five mill special
taxes to the public schools and in
support of this argument he was fol-
lowed by Supt. Wright, who declared
his devotion to the educational well
fare of the seven thousand children
OF the parish; he showed how we had
already spent over two hundred thou
sand dollars in the building of school
houses in this parish, which made La
fayette the leading parish of the state
in this respect and he made an urgent
appeal to the people to increase the
revenues so that we might have
nine months school term, which will
enable him to get the very best teach
ers; otherwise, with only six months
term in view. there was some difficult
ty in being able to select teachers.
Mr.. Basset, of Lafayette, was pre-
vailed upon and in his. fluent French,
spoke of his personal appreciation
of public education Several mem
bers of the Sshool Board were pres
ent, including the president, DR.. Toll
son. Music accompaniment added to
the well rendered songs of the pupils.
