UIlcl yet interesting program, IN III
presence Of an audience that mad
up in enthusiasm what it lacked i
numbers. The School improvement
League was represented by Mesdame
r. B. Paine and Isidore Levy, presi
dent and treasurer, respectively
Just here let it be noted that tn
board of trustees and the newly elect
ed member of the school board from
this ward, were quite conspicuous b.
their absence. The principal, Prof
Guy A. Smith, opened the ceremonie
by introducing his honor, Mayor w
G.. Davis, who stated that he wa
present in his official capacity a
mayor and to show his interest il
public education. He would no
touch upon the duties of either teach
ers, parents or pupils, because tina
was the duty of the school officials
He then gave the children some faith
lerly advice and closed with brie
resume of the present existing con
EDITIONS as between the town of Man
devllle and the parish school boart
relative to the local school.
DR.. r. B. Paine was next intro.
Iduced. His address was real heart
to heart talk to parents and pupils
and if followed can but result in bene-
,icial results to both.
Prof. Smith then closed the exer-
eises with few pointed remarks.
He let it be known from the very
start that he would be principal in
deed as. well as in name. He would
be master of the school or know the
reason why. He assumed full re-
spOnsibility for the official actions OF
his assistants. All complaints, pc
titions or requests must come to and
through him. He especially urged
parents to see him before expressing
opinions as to their childrens' state
ments or reports. He would give
and expected square deal.
Enrolment and assignment of pu-
pills then followed, with 100 pupils
present and a promise of many more
lows: Prof. Guy A. Smith, pr.nci-
pal, eighth and ninth grades; Miss
Carrie Haase, sixth and -seventh
grades; Miss Mary Pinckney, third
fourth and fifth grades; Mrs. w. 4
Marks, first and second grades.
Because of the size and crowding
of the school house, two children &C.
cupying desks ~ built for one, Mrs.
Marks and her classes will occupy
the town hall. Please take note, ye
mighty Of the parish school board.
The town council met in regular
session last Monday at 5 p. M, but
as it was a holiday no business YVES
transacted, and the meeting adjourn
ed to Thursday at 3 p. m, on which
day much business was transacted.
The lack of strife and harmony pre-
vailing in he new body is-as notice
able as commemorate.
The parochia1 school of the church
of Our Lady of the Lake will open
next Monday, Sept. IA, at 8 a. M,
under the direction of the Misses
Florence Lavalle end Pauline Cor
nibe. These ladies, as also Father
Pacide, requests that all children be
sent to the school on the opening day
and at Ga. M, with view of facili-
tating the enrolment and assignment
of pupils, and to enable all the child
rem to start on an equal footing. A
failure to observe this request may
be much regretted at the close of the
term when the prizes are distributed.

Society met last Tuesday at 10 a. m.
