of education they have donated the
sum of $500 to each of the two high
schools Of the parish. This was done
with the understanding that no tu-
ition shall be charged pupils coming
to these schools from any part OF
the parish. You will remember that
last year the Covington high school
was made a parish high school be-
cause of like donation from the
police jury and now l shall ask that
you make the Slidell also 4 parish
high school.
When We remember that this par
ish has been giving scholarships to
the various institutions Of the state,
and that students from these same
institutions competed In the last ex-
aminations for teachers certificates;
say when We remember this know
You will feel proud to know that the
highest certificate earned at this ex-
animation was earned by q graduate
Of one of our own high schools. It
is therefore fit and proper that the
same money that used to help one
or two children to go away to school
should be used for all in the parish
who are rearly for the high schools.
Thanking you for your cooperation
in the past, remain,
Very respectfully,
ELMER E. LYON,
Superintendent.
