The schools of this parish are dong

age attendance of 1899 pupils in all the
schools of the parish which is eighty
per cent of the entire enrolment. FAR
ticular attention has been gwen the
enrolment and average attendance,
and as a result nearly all our schools
have grown in number and in interest,
some schools nearly doubling lastyear s
enrolment. :,
With few exceptions we have well
qualified teachers throughout the par

anxious to replace those few exceptions

One of the quickest fires that it
IS possible to imagine, occurred
Tuesday morning about 8 O'Clock
when within less than half hour
after it was discovered, the Pear
son house on jefferson Street had
burned to the ground.
Mrs. Pearson was the only ore
at home and was busy attending TO
her morning duties when passer-
by on his way to the depot saw a
blaze and ran across to investigate
When he disco vered it was the
roof, he called fire" and Mrs.
Pearson went to the door TO see If
it was in the neighborhood when
to her horror she found out that
it was her own home. The alarm
went in and assistance was prompt
lv given. but the whole back of
the house was practically on fire
when discovered and the flames
spread so rapidly that it was I'm
possible to save the building, SC
all the efforts we're directed to the
removal of the furniture which
with everything else was taken
out with very little damage done,

time was in the dimng room, ST

of the circulation, so buying at
