The Gazette takes pleasure in re-
producing the above letter from
President Roy, of the State Normal
School in reply to an editorial in
the Point Coupee Banner which we
printed last week.
In reproducing the editorial re-
ferred to, we had no purpose to ap-
pear as endorsing the views therein
expressed as to the establishment o.
an educational trust' for the ben.
eft of graduates of the Norma
School, a matter of which we know
nothing and about which we did no
therefore intend to express sany
opinion.

PRIEST. ROrs REPLY.
Natchitoches, La, Sept. 10, 1911

Natchltoches, La, sept. ~, 1918.
Mr.. Conrad j. Lecoq,
Editor Pointe Coupee Banner,
New Roads, La.
Dear Sir-I am one OF those who be-
lieve that few persons in the higher walks
of life are ever Intentionally guilty of
working injury TO Others.
In your editorial article of September
18th on 'The Examination Of Teachers"
you stated that the purpose of the rigid
teachers examination is to establish an
educational trust III which the State Nor
NAL School graduate is the beneficiary.
This attack upon the institution is as un-
lust as il is unmerited. Hence l am writ
ing this letter to you, which you may
print in your columns, or not, as your
judgment may dictate.
The Normal School is in league with
no educational or other force in the State
to establish any sort of trust, whether
educational or otherwise. We have simp-
" large school doing a large work and
serving the State in big way.
The Normal School has one purpose in
its existence, and that is to prepare as
large number as possible Of our young
people to become efficient teachers. 1t is
true that our graduates are exempt from
examinations; but there is reason for
this. No student of the Normal School
receives a diploma who has not pursued
nine professional courses in the Normal
School, and our course of study extends
two full years beyond the high schools OF
the State
There is reason too why candidates
for teachers certificates fail at examina-
ton. Many Of these candidates have only
six weeks of study in the theory and art
of teaching.
The Normal School devotes % months
to this work.
After all, it is matter of the amount
of education that the candidate has. The
briefest consideration will convince you
that any student who comes to the Nor
NAL School for two years, or goes to any
other higher institution for that length Of
time, after completing the high school
course, not only should have his diploma
recognized as first grade certificate, but
il called upon to take examination will
meet every requirement.
have already denied the existence of
an educational trust that vivid imagi-
nation has depicted. l have to say this
relative to the teachers examinations:
That deplore the failure of so many OF
the candidates to earn certificates; that,
considering the educational equipment OF
the average candidate, the examination
was undoubtedly too severe.
But, while /, as a citizen and an edu-
Gator, have views and opinions concern
ing these matters, my official position
gives me no title to tell Mr.. Commit what
sort of questions he shall prepare for ex'
aminations or how rigid the teachers ex'
animation shall be.
There is no connection whatever be
tween the teachers examinations and the
State Normal School.
Although we have a faculty of nearly
fifty expert teachers versed in every lint
of education, we have not been calleC
upon to prepare single question for tn
teachers examinations; and so far a
any organic connection is concerned, W,
are not in closer touch with the Stat
Examing Committee than is any othe
school in Louisiana.
Very truly yours,
V. L. ROY.

z. The next column is headed Days
Present." The way to I'll these blanks
is actually to add together the days at
tended that month by the children in the
different grades. For instance, if there
were five boys in the first grade attend
ing IL, Is, IL, 10, and 20 days, respect
lively, the correct figure opposite OPP un-
der ''Boys" in the days Present col
umn would be SO.
s. The next column is headed "Aver-

arrived at by dividing days Present, "
opposite each grade, by 20. For Instance,
in the illustration given above, the cav
erage Attendance" of "Boys" in grade
"l'' would be Al.

You should give the teach

of each pad. You should give the teach
ers instructions showing how to use this
sheet. Tell them to make out the report
in pencil, not in ink, and when a mis-
take is made, to remove the carbon sheet
before attempting to erase any figures.
Erasures will have to be made on both
the first and second sheets.
3. The white sheets are perforated,
and after the report has been finished
for any month the white sheet is torn
off and sent to the superintendent. The
colored sheet is left intact and should
never be detached from the pad. In 9TH
er words, the carbon copies for the dit
ferent months must not be torn out of
the pad. If one is removed, serious diff
ficulties will be the result.
4. At the end of the last month Of
the school, the teacher should turn to
the last two sheets in the pad and on
these make out the report covering the
entire session. He gets his data for this
by combining all OF the monthly reports.
The white sheet of this annual report
should be forwarded to the superintend-
ent and then the pad should be turned
over to the Superintendent and filed by
him as part of his record.
5. The first column of tie report is
headed "Grtdes. Opposite grade one
only the cliiIren in the first grade should
be listed, and so on for all of the other
grades. The names of teachers should be
written in the proper column. If teach
er Is in charge of the first grade, her
name should be placed opposite grade
one. II the same teacher has charge Of
the first, second and third grades, this
fact can be indicated by putting the ditto
mark opposite ''2'' and 49," the teach
er's name being opposite 81"
6. The second column lie headed "0n
Roll" / wish to call especial attention
to this column. When Q child is enrolled
in the school his name must be carried
to the end of the session, whether he at
tends school or not. If he enters another
school or removes from the parish, his
name should be dropped, but in no other
cases. Please impress this upon your
