Covington High School,
Session Of 19l3-l9l4

The session of the 1913-lA Of the
Covington High School will take It's
place with the very best IN the his
tory of the school.
The merits of any institution can
be judged only by the good results
accomplished. The man object of
a school is to advance the children.
State Superintendent Harr $, n an
address, said in substance: while
athletics are all right and very nice,
l want to emphasize the fact thas
taxes are paid and schools maintain
ed for the purpose of advancing the
pupils. That Is the ma n considera-
ton" That vew as to the object
of schools is held by the authorities
ON school affairs; and with the be5,
authorities school or a session Of q
school has been most successful
when most along literary lines has
been accomplished.
A number of things connected With
school may sbe matters of conjecture.
But in progressing the pupil, where
records are kept, the results are
reduced to figures, which may +
tabulated so as to show the progress
made. Below we produce statistics
OF the high school department for
the present and last sessions. Pu-
pile classed as promoted for the
present session are those whose
grades are high enough as to elm
- any doubt OF their passing at

school IN the immediate neighbor-
hood and each one wanted It nearest
his own home. The spirit that seeks
an education at all hazards was OBJ
scured by the desire to control and
dominate or else destroy. It took
tact and wisdom and courage to sur
mount these difficulties, and Mr.. Lam
caster took the bull by the horns.
He wrote lengthy reports to the
School Board, 20 nting out the needs
and the remedies. He went into de-
tail and covered every point that sug-
gested an opportunity for improve
ment, and he kept at it during his
entire encumbency of the Office, ex-
hibiting the qualifications and char
acter sites that subsequently caused
the people to place HIN in his pres
ent position as district judge, which
he is filling with the same consc en-
tious fealty to duty that made him
a successful superintendent OF edu-
cat on for st. Tammany parish.
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1914-03-21

school, no record Is kept, and we
can only so by testimony of teachers
who were here in previous sessions.
From their report the sp rit of cor
diality and tolerance among the pu-
p Is was never SO high as at the
present time. There has been prac
tically no quarreling or fighting
among the pupils, but N the.r play
and school ground association, they
have accorded each other his every
right. Hardness has been dim nish-
ed, and there has been ! tile II any
friction any quarter. But one
pupil resigned from school on ac-
count of dlssatisfact on of the parent,
and that was misunderstanding
which could have been remedied, ii
opportunity had been afforded.
The above results have been ac-
compl,shed under cond tions more
unfavorable than IN any school ever
taught in Covington, perhaps. The
old school house was rolled to the
edge Of the street, to make room for
the new. The pupils have had no
playground. ADDED TO the menace
of open bitches, one side of the yard
has been stacked with old lumber
and frames sky-high. How serious
accidents have been avoided can be
answered only by careful watching
and precautions.
The nose inc dental to the con-
struct.on OF the new build ng has
handicapped the grades nearest by.
But greater than the unfavorable
environments springing from build
ing, in the way Of nose and location,
is the attitude of both pupils and
parents, which we had to meet " tn
special ms stence for work. This
attitude has been of this nature:
Little could be expected this year;
| we all VIII do SO well next year. y
We heard this quite frequently:
Just do the best you can" The
result of tbs attitude has been that
the pupils felt l tile was to be expect
ed OF them this year; that this SESSION
| was ''fill-in" only, and the lethargy
| was to be overcome next session.
| That we successfully combatted that
att tude IS shown by the table given
above.
| wish to thank the patrons for
the cooperation they have given. So
far as l can tell, they are standing
| by the school. We assure them that
we Will keep up the work till the last
day, doing our best for the children,
| that they may move on to the next
higher grades, and not suffer the
waste involved n remain ng overtime
| in the same grades. l ask continued
home cooperation til the close.

In order. 10 get just idea Of the
progress made In tn parish in an
educational way, during the. past
three years, we should fully under
stand the cond tons before that time.
We should realize someth ng Of the
absence OF buildings, good or suit
able equipment. short terms and lack
Of general system and organ zation.
We should know that there was no,
respectable high school building
in the parish and only two of the
teL wards with spec al tax.
An awakening to the educational
demands of the day began to shcw
itself during the snperantendency of
Mr.. H. B. Messick. This was done
when the town of 81 dell voted a
$40, 200 bond issue for school build.
ing, followed by the school board
erecting four-room school building
at Folsom and two-room building
at Middle Roads. The former beng
to consolidate the Blackwell and Fol
som schools. while the latter took
care of the Simaloosa and New q Oh
schools. These three buildings wert
completed during the adm nistratioa
Of the present super ntendent, IA
though he claims no credit for tEei4
erection. Neither can he be helu
responsible for any of their defects.
Being strongly of the opinion that
the Parish Superintendent belongs a.
much to the Ridge school In tn
eighth ward, or the Mad;sonv liz
school In tht first ward, as he doe
to the schools of 81 dell and Coving
ton, immed .ately upon the writer
entering actively upon the duties o.
h 8 present position, he set at worh
trying to make it possible to do more
school visiting. The State law says
that one sit to every school Shout
be made each year, but as long as the
superintendent was required to pay
h 6 own travel ng expenses, there was
not much danger of his annoy ne
the schools by everlasting. 1t was
therefore q wise move when the
school board voted to permit the
super ntendent to move his office te
the court house. The amount for
merly allowed for Office rent thel
went toward his travelling expenses
This step was made possible by tht
police jury ndly consenting TO ie
their secretary share office W.T.
the school board. The " sdom O
these changes was so apparent tina
this year the board has decided u
! pay the entire travelling expenses O
the superintendent. Now NOTHING
but his Office work can lint tn
number OF school visits and inspec
tions made. He can now go to III
| fr ends and patrons OF the publ
schools wherever he may find them
whether It be at the school houses a
the crossroads store. in the field, Q
at their own fres:de, and not D
obi ged to feel that every visit n
makes lovers his salary Just tina
much.

the pupils are doing more work tn S
