Notice to School Patrons and
Teachers.

By order of the school board, all
schools of the parish will open Mon
day, Sept. II, at 9 o'clock a. m.
Patrons are urged to present their
children on the opening day, as this
is very necessary. Children entering
school for the first time must be en-
rolled not later than the first week
OF school, as the schools are not un-
der obligation to accept these pupils
after the classes have been formed
and have made headway.
Teachers are required to present
themselves in Donaldsonyille on Sat
urda@ Sept. 8, at 10 o'clock, for gen
eralE stRuction, and to carry with
them tgir teachers certificate.
Teachers may arrange to return to
their homes or boarding places that
afternoon, as they will be dismissed
in time.
The commercial course adopted by
the state will be installed in the
Donaldsonyille, Dutchtown and Con
zales high schools. 1t is hoped that
this course will prove more practical
and of greater worth to those who at
tend these institutions than the
purely classical course. It is also
hoped that with these schools as
centers, many worthy boys and girls
all over the parish will seek this
training. With three institutions Of
fering a high-grade business course,
which includes, besides the regular
literary subjects, business and COM
mercial law, economics, bookkeeping,
commercial arithmetic, commercial
geography, typewriting and steno-
graphy, together with one institu-
tion-the Oak Grove high school
offering scientific agriculture and
home economics based on strong
literary course, the coming session
bids fair to be the most practical
and profitable to the boys and girls
i'll the history of the parish. If some
| thing better can be accomplished this
session there is every reason to be-
lieve that after this experimental
year has passed Ascension will be
able to boast of a system Of schools
in advance of a very large majority
of the parishes of the state.
Let every man, woman and child
give to the schools of the parish
| their hearty support in order that
we may the sooner reach that point
| when Ascension schools will do the
greatest possible good for the greatest
possible number of her citizens.
Respectfully submitted,

The Weather and the Crops.

The weather OF the past week has
been considerable Improvement
over that of the week preceding, in
as much as there was a noticeable
decrease in the volumeAof the daily
rains, and-wonderful to relate-no
moisture at all has fallen since
Tuesday. The past three days have
been the first entirely Zdry ones to
be experienced since Aug. 13, and
it may be imagined what a degree
of influence they eXerted in reviv-
ing the dropping spirits of the rice
planters and Frightening the crop
and commercial situation in this sec
tion IA
Quickly availing themselves of the
opportunity presented BY the return
Of clear weather, the rice planters
have started threshing and are push
ing the work with all #possible de-
spatch, albeit slow progress will be
made until the fields and roads have
a chance to dry out. 1T has been
found that all of the rise which had
been cut, even that which was we'll
shocked, has sprouted TO consid-
cradle extent, while that which was
lying across the rows is in very
bad condition and will Prove of little
value. Besides interfering with the
harvesting of the crop and causing
the rice already cut toE sprout and
therefore suffer a depreciation in
quality, the prolonged rains have al
50 had most dana sssfss i: ssfns-s ffffect on the
rice still standing. The latter, as
result of not being harvested at the
proper time, has become oVerrlpe
and sun-cracked, and when millcd vii
not be susceptible of being manufac
turel into q fancy grade OF head
rice, in view Of its softness and ten
| dency to break up.
The rice planters hare certainly
been dealt a hard blow by the IN
clement atmospheric conditions Whlcl
have prevailed since the opening O
their harvesting season, and every
body is hoping thai they Will be
youchsafed good weather from this
time on so that they will at leas7
be enabled to gather without furthel
delay OF additional loss that portion
of their crop which islstill worth say
ing.
