Editorial.

Have we ever stopped to think how
bare the school campus is? For six
long years the beautiful new high
school which replaced the old AS
censlon Academy has stood unadorn-
ed on a bare campus. For several
years we have been living in hopes
OF fencing the campus, but as yet
nothing has resulted and we are still
being led on by the vain delusion of
nope. However, Notwithstanding the
impossibility of having a fence of
some sort of protection erected, there
is no reason why we should not have
some trees and plants to beautify
our school grounds. Last year
through the efforts of our former
principal China trees were planted.
Through lack of time and money
nothing further has been done SO far,
although China trees will indeed
prove beneficial when the warmer
spring and summer days come.
With the cooperation of the teach
ers, pupils and town people, our
campus could be turned into one of
the most attractive and beautiful
places in the town. Donaldsonville
boasts and indeed it has every rea-
son to boast of it's little park, be-
cause few if any towns of this size
in the state have been progressive
enough to erect such q beautiful
playground. Our campus adjoins the
park, and by beautifying it, it would
not only add greatly to the civic
beauty of the town, but would en4
large the park and be credit to the
school and community.
What influences people more than
their surroundings and it is indeed
but duty to surround the growing
boys and girls of this town with
beauty. Nothing tends to form and
soften character more than nature,
and what in nature is more beauti-
full than trees and flowers? There
is every reason to believe that with
little effort and cooperation Of the
pupils, teachers and town people our
campus, although SMALL could be
turned into the most attractive place
in town, and this is indeed a much
needed improvement. Let us then
be up and doing and let everybody
help to try and adorn our campus
with pretty flowers and trees, SO
that the passing visitor, instead Of
criticising our bare campus, will
leave town with a good impression
of the interest and progressiveness Of
this community.

Library Notes.

The library is steadily increasing in
size; both the town and school are
making out orders for books, and in
a few weeks we expect to add about
800 volumes of carefully selected lit
erature to the 1850 books already on
hand. Since Jan. 6, the date of open
ing, donations amounting to 735 vol
umes have been received among
the donors being: Mrs. f. B. Lem
ann, Miss j. Landry, DR. John Thi-
baut, Charest Thibaut, Mrs John D.
Hanson, w. d. Park, r. A. Singer,
Clerville Himel, Miss Georgette Rich
ard, Miss Roy Casso, Henry Haken-
jos, Alvin Lawless and Percival
Bringier. Mr.. Lynch, of New Orleans,
and Tulane University have also con-
tributed several volumes.
The library is open to the public
from / to 4 p. NJ, every day except
Sunday.
The interest manifested by the
grade children and the students of
the high school has been most graft
flying, but the aim OF establishing a
library was to reach the town peo-
pie as well. We take pleasure in
the opportunity of extending to all an
invitation to at least visit the read
ing room, which is a large, we'll
lighted room on the first floor of the
high school building. No fee is
charged to those using books in the
library, but any one wishing to take
books home will be required to pay
a small fee Of 25 cents a month or
ten cents a book Nine hundred and
six books have been circulated since
Jan. 6, but by the aid of our town
people it is hoped the next report
will be larger and encouraging.

Literary Department Notes.
Friends and Friendship"

Friends and friendship.
IT'S said God gives US family, but
we can choose our friends, therefore
a friendship means a nature that re-
spends unto ourselves. To such a
one the heart goes out and wishes
naught but good. May God bless
our friends and give them all they
wish.
How often is the above more truth
than poetry. We little dream what
some friendships mean to US, the
loss of which is irreparable and often
causes a vacancy in our lives.
Friendships often Influence our
character and have something to do
with the shaping of our minds. Man
was not made to be a solitary crea-
ture, and the desire for companion

ships; We go out and are continually
meeting new friends. With some of
these we join the links together in
forging chain of friendship to last
for years, perhaps until eternity.
Separation does not necessitate q
breaking up of friendship. Instead it
should tend to strengthen it, for be-
tween friends there is a constant
thought known to the world as men
tai telepathy.
What is true friendship? Surely not
the casual acquaintance of persons
for each other. A friend is an in
innate acquaintance ready to do at
any time. It's said that "a friend in
need is a friend indeed By some
persons friends are divided under two
general classes, good and bad. but
there are no really bad friends, for,
according to the definition of friend
when the time comes that they shall
merit an adjective of that kind at
tached to their names, they cease to
be friends and become foes and hypo.
critics. Therefore We should form
good friendships and cherish them.

Death of Widow Nemourin Rraud.

Death of Widow Nemourin Rraud.
After an illness of seven weeks
| with grippe, Widow Nemourin Braud,
nee Carmelia Hebert, died at 11:10
o'clock Monday morning at the resi-
s,dence Of her daughter, Mrs. A. r..
4andry, at Hohen Solms, aged eighty
Seven years, nine months and nine
days. Mrs. Braud was native of
Ascension parish, and was one of the
oldest residents of the Hohen Solms
neighborhood, where she resided
throughout practically her entire life.
| She was known and loved by all,
and her departure from this life is
deeply and widely mourned. The
funeral took place Tuesday, services
being held at the st. Francis of As
sisium Catholic church in Smoke
Bend, after which the remains were
tenderly laid to rest in the Donald
sonyille Catholic cemetery. A large
concourse of sorroWing relatives and
friends attended the obsequies. Mrs.
Braud is survived by three daughters,
Mrs. Felix Rodriguez, Mrs. w. P.
Rochelle and Mrs. A. R. Landry, all
of Hohen Solms, besides fifteen
grandchildren and eleven great
grandchildren. The Chief tenders
sincere sympathy to the bereaved
family.
Last Wednesday evening when Fee
lix Fortier, Sr., Of Faubourg la Pipe,
opened a drawer in a desk at his
home In which he is in the habit of
keeping q sum of money for current
household expenses, he discovered
that an amount of between $50 and
$64 had been distracted from the re-
eeptac1e. The burglary was evidently
committed by some one familiar with
the premises, since the thief knew.
just where to look for the money,
and nothing else in the room was dis
turbed. Mrs. Fortier, who was sewing
in another room, says she heard a
noise during the day, but thought it
came from outside the house and did
not investigate. The money stolen
was made up Of two $40 bills, one
$40 bill and the remainder in 81 and
81 bills. A small sum in silver which
was in a tin box in the same drawer
was not discovered by the burglar.
