For Flood Sufferers.

We have received for the relief of
the flood sufferers of Pointe Coupee
parish contribution of 50 from Miss
Edith Dupre and one for $40 from Mr.
P. B. Roy, which amounts we have
forwarded to Mr.. Conrad ]. Lecoq
chairman of the Pointe Coupee Relief
Committee. Should anyone else wish
to contribute to this worthy cause we
will be glad to send their contribu
tions to Mr. Lecoq.
The people of Point Coupee have
been overflowed and practically lost
everything they had and the waters
have not yet subsided sufficiently for
them to attempt to replaht. There is
still a great deal of destitution and
suffering among the people there, and
they need all that can be spared by
their more fortunate fellow citizens.

Southern Pacific Detours Trains.

Beginning Sunday the Southern Pa
cific began detolring its passenger
trains by way of Donaldsonville and
Napoleonville, thence to Shriever.
This was made necessary by the wa
ter running over the tracks below
Shriever, said to be eight inches in
some places. The only passenger trains
being run are and and 8 and 10
and schedules are being kept as well
as possible. The company is running
freights out of New Orleans over
their own track and doing all they
can to move the freight accumulated
for the west before they are forced to
stop all traffic over their own rails.
The Oriole, and all trains but the four
mentioned have been taken off.

Wanted a Bed.

Mary Parkerson, colored, wanted
bed and not caring to put out good
money for one proceeded to appropri-
ate one from the Sunset Hotel, so she
told the officers when they insisted on
knowing, but she denied at first know
ing anything about a bed. She said
she found a drunken man asleep in
the bed and wrapped him up in the
covers and laid him down on the
floor. Then she took the bed to
pieces and carried it off. She lead
the officers to an empty house in
Mills addition, where she had hid the
bed. Mary is now sleeping on a par
ish bed in the parish Jail.

VOLUME XLVII.
SUMMER NORMAL,


The Sumer Normal School has
started very successfully. 1t has the
largest and ablest faculty it has ever
had and the largest opening attend
ance. The attendance registered Fri
day of the first week was 232 in the
Normal-Institute and 1873 in the Mod
el School, or a total of AIS students
in the entire school.
The Model Rural School which has
been planned was discontinued be-
cause of having too few students; the
regular twelve weeks course in the
City Model School proving the more
popular organization. On this ac-
count the services Of Miss Lizzie Tay-
lor, who was to have been an assist
ant in that school, were dispensed
With; but Mr. Foote, who was to have
been principal of that department,
was retained as assistant to Mr.. Keen
Observation and Practice Teaching
Department in the Model School. Mr.
Foote'S work is proving a very help
full feature of the summer normal.
The following is a list of General
Suggestions and Questions prepared
by him to assist practice teachers IN
becoming careful observers of the
teaching under observation:
Observe different methods of Civ
ing orders for class movements and
observe their execution.
Methods of preventing inattention
when it is detected.
Mannerisms on the part of teachers
and the good or bad effect on pupils.
Aids given to pupils who are called
on to recite. How much is essential
What occupies one division while
the other is reciting? How is this
provided for in different rooms?
Note the ease with which a change
of subjects is usually made.
Find out something about the five
formal steps in teaching. Look for
th-se steps in the lessons you OBJ
serve. Note whether they are an aid
or a hindrance to the teachers.
What are the essential features Of
an assignment?
Note the art of questioning as H.
Illustrated in many of the lessons you
will will observe. Look for different
types of questions. Make classi;-
cation of these types.
How are pupils held to the subject
in hand? When is a deviation per-
missible?
Can time be profitaobly spent in a
rural school in reading to pupils from
supplementary books? II not what is
an excellent substitute for same? In
what subjects can supplementary
reading be most effectively used?
What efforts have you observed
used to maintain order?
Can you explain the reason for the
good order general in the school?
Note the general appearance of each
room; evidences Of physical order or
disorder; pictures and other decora-
tions; blackboards, their condition;
appearance and bearing of teacher.
Write up as a note any criticism,
good or bad.
What is your ideal of a model
school room? How closely do these
city rooms conform to your ideal. Is
your ideal for a city room different
from that of a rural school room?
Why?
In which grade are devices most ef-
fectively used? Why? When should
a device be discarded? Why?
