Opelousas, La, July Gath, 1916
To the President and Members OF
the School Board of the Parish OF
st. Landry.
Gentlemen:
Your committee appointed to
look into the locations of the Pral-
RE Ronde eolored school and the
Andre Pierre Auguste colored
school, beg leave to report as fol-
lows:
We visited both locations. The
Andre Pierre Auguste building is
an old building in fairly good re-
pair, situated just in the edge OF
the woods on the southeast side Of
the woods, grounds apparently am
pie and shady.
The Prairie Ronde building, a
new building, is situated about a
mile from the Andre Pierre Au-
guste building, across the narrow
strip of woods and out in tae Pral-
RE. This building is a very good
building, is back about five acres
from the main road with a lane
leading by the building. There are
no shade trees around this building.
The lane is too narrow and would
have to be widened to admit the
passage Of two vehicles.
In the opinion of the committee
either of these places would be de-
sirable locations and both are in
populous communities and less
than a mile apart.
Respectfully submitted,
