from the Donaldsonville high. school
for library purposes.
The following recommendation are
/ submitted for your approval:
In order to meet the need of an
ample supply of good water at the
Donaldsonyille high school, that a
filter be secured to replace the old
one, which has been condemned on
account of breakage and which can
not be repaired.
That during the winter months the
first grade at the Donaldsonville high
school be dismissed at 1890 instead
OF at Il o'clock, and that there be
no afternoon session, thus obViating
the necessity Of these little people
being made to return to school in
the afternoon for one hour and being
exposed to the weather
That the hack formerly used to
transfer pupils to the st. Amant
school be advertised for sale or
stored somewhere until future need.
That Henry Bateman be recon-
pensed TOR the care Of the Gonzales
hack during he summer mont
That the president of the board APP
point a committee to examine all
records on file in the office and
Eeheck up all accounts TO the present
1 time.
That the superintendent be author
lied to secure folding chairs for the
auditorium at the Oak Grove school,
said hall being. entirely without seats
excepting a few rough homemade
benches put together by the boys of
1.-THE school. Both pupils and public
are in a great measure being de-
pflved of the uses to which this hall
might be put.
That every effort be made dur
ing the present school year to erect
a new school building at Smoke Bend,
the present building having been re-
ported by me on several occasions
as being the Worst-suited building in
the parish for school purposes.
IN conclusion, desire to. express
my thanks to the members of the
board upon their retirement from of
| flee for their splendid cooperation
and for uniform courtesies at all
times. earnestly believe that no
parish in the state has had a school
board more. conscientious or more de-
voted to the school interests of a
parish Knowing the personnel of
1.-THE new board, / am confident this
! good work will be continued, and
that the best interests of the schools
will continue to be conserved. The
parish owes a debt of gratitude to
the outgoing board for long and faith
ffili service, service with practically
no compensation and with sacrifice
on the part of the individual mem
bers of time. comfort and money.
Respectfully submitted,
J. L. RUsCA, Secretary.
