Gentlemen-In recognition of the
fact that the public schools, not only
in this parish, but throughout the
State, have been limited in their eff
forts for educational advancement by
lack of sufficient funds to meet re-
quirements, it becomes apparent that
the utmost economy is necessary in
the management of the school funds.
In appreciation of this fact, in making
its bid for the publishing of the pro-
ceedings of the parish school board
the Farmer makes no charge except
ing such as to bring it within the
requirements of legal bid.
The Farmer bids to publish such
proceedings of the Parish School Board
as are required as the official journal
Of the Board for the sum of one cent,
for the ensuing year.
Respectfully,
ST. TAMMANY FARMER.
