2. l was glad to see that some
attention is being given to industrial
work by the schools. My judgment
is that this idea cannot be too strong
~ emphasized. The State will new
er prosper until the different indus
tries are filled with intelligent men
and women who know how to work
successfully. and it is the bus ness
Of the schools to push this idea.
3. The very best thing that came
to my attention was the wide spread
interest that the people seemed to
take in education. The air seemed
to be full of the sentiment tina. the
schools are great asset and sh ould
be PROPERLY fostered by these cit :
fZens.
/ wish to congratulate you, the
board and all others who are con-
tributfng to the advancement of the
schools in that parish.
Yours sincerely.
