SCHOOL NOTES.

At meeting of the school board
last week the committee on teachers
and instruction recommended that the
joint exercises Of the three high
schools be held on Wednesday, June
IL, at 8 p. NJ, and the commencement
exercises of the Normal School on
Thursday, June u, at IL a. m, which
was adopted. The committee calles
attention to the fact that as in the
past few years a growing tendency to
attaching undue Importance and cere-
mony to the awarding of certificates
of attainment to pupils who have sue
cessfully completed the eighth grade
work in the elementary schools, until
same now partakes of the nature of
formal graduation exercises, we recon-
mend that it be the sense of this board
that the words graduation exercises"
be omitted from the cards issued by
the several schools, and that the exer-
cises be made as simple and informal
as possible; also that the cost and ex-
travagance Of pupils in the rivalry of
dress and other attendant expenses at
the commencement exercises of the
Normal and high schools be discounte-

Facts and Fanceis Concerning City
Park.

Catherine Carroll-7th Grade Al
Among the beautiful parks for which
New Orleans is noted is the beautiful
and picturesque City Park. 1t is below
Canal street and it covers 216.6 acres
of land.
The City Park was originally part Of
the plantation of Louis Allard. AL
lard's possessions extended from Bay
gu st. John to the Orleans canal.
Towards the end of Allard's life his
fortune declined and he was compelled
to part with his land, being sold to
John McDonogh. At his death Nc
Donogh left 1t by will to the cities OF
New Orleans and Baltimore; the city
of New Orleans acquired it in its full
ownership at the partition sale, and
decided to devote it to park purposes.
City Park is noted for its beautiful
oak trees which are covered with Span.
ish moss; and which are known as the
NuSiihS vans. lliolOIy ItCOIuS Iudl
this was one of the most famous duel
ing grounds of the world. 1t is also
noted for the tomb of Robert Allard
which is said to be haunted. This
tomb is near the slaves graveyard, I'M
der the twin oaks" The tomb. al
though now empty is one of the "mys
terry spots" Of the park
Pretty roads go hither and thithel
for the convenience of many hundred
people. A pretty lake is in the midst
of the park. Ducks and swans are
continually swimming from side tc
side, while rowboats may be procured
for a little excursion on the lake
Benches and bandstands are scattereS
over the park and the music that is sc
often heard is much appreciated by
the numerous visitors. The Art Mu
scum is a very pretty building contain
ing many pictures and statues. Mag
nificent gardens and fountains are in
the immediate neighborhood. The
lovely flowers and shrubbery are great
ly admired by all.
The herald. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1905-1953, 1913-05-15

Many suicides, tragedies and fist
fights occurred.
The most important place for such
tragedies was an oak with overhang-
ing branches known as the suicide
oak"
In 1877, a board of commissioners
was formed to see that the City Park
would be governed, directed and man
aged.
This association has done wonders.
Artificial lakes have been dredged and
fed from the water from Bayou St.
John.
Little islands adorned with palms
and trees are reached by beautiful
bridges. Among the most important
bridges (are) is the Grand Jean bridge.
The park has now shelled walks,
avenues and drives, flying horses, ami
NAL pens, hot houses, a museum which
was donated by Mr.. Delgado, advanc-
ing platform and other comfortable
buildings. Abundant supplies of water
can be had from water mains and cis-
terms.
The park is a favorable resort for
family and school picnics. 1t is ad-
mirably managed by police. Garde-
ners attend to the flowers, which are
very beautiful and we hope that this
beauty spot of the South" will al
ways remain the same.

NEW UNIFORMS.

On Saturday the police donned their
new summer uniforms for the first
time.
The uniforms are military form, of
blue serge. Those of patrolmen and

arm. Corporals will wear silver stripes,
sergeants and captains, gold.
The arm emblem of the motorcycle
police is red wheel pierced by yell
low arrow, white winged. A wheel
also is the emblem of the traffic squad
but distinguished, in terms of armorial
usage, by the imposition Of a horses
head, reddish in color. Patrolmen al
have brass. buttons imprinted with the
emblem ofAeir corps.
The coats of the officers are all clos
ed down the front, heavily braided IN
black, with invisible buttons. They
have the seal of the city on the arms
and black military caps with a heavy
gilded shield bearing the seal, above

Facts and Fancies Concerning CITY

(Strueby L. Drumm-7th Grade b.
Our city has two large and beautiful
parks, besides many smaller ones. To
my taste City Park is the incest of all.
1t contains 216.6O acres, but only 16O
acres have been improved. The park
was once owned by Louis Allard, who
later sold 1t to John McDonogh, the
millionaire philanthropist Of New Or

and this tract Of ground to New Or

made 1t into a beautiful park.

In weeks time the dredgers

When the dredgers get busy the oys-
