The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1917-01-31

tended to be grouped together like
bees in hive and that such was the
present condition in the schools Of
Morgan City. Arrangements, he
said, should be made so that teach
ers would not be overloaded SO that
the best results might be obtained
for the pupils in their care. He
pointed out that the present move
ment was not in order to enable
teachers TO get out of work but t.
permit them to get the most out of
the work they had to do. As tax
payer, Mr.. Brownell asserted his
Willingness to pay his pro-rata of
any, justifiable bond issue and that
he was anxious to contribute to help
the children of this community
come into their own by affordirg
them the privilege of an education
Mr.. Browne!l suggested that any
committee serving to promot" plan
for school relief should profit by
the error made in the past and that
ample provision be made against
future demands of the school A.
a bond issue is apparently the only
method of relief, Mr.. Brownell sug-
gested that the proper steps be tax
en- to bring about at the earliest
possible moment the measures nee
essary to accomplish the ends in
view. It was his opinion that CEN
tralization of schools would tend
towards greater efficiency in school
dicipline and accomplishment.
Mr.. B. NJ. Young suggested that
any committee with the matter in
hand consider well the furnishing of
ample outdoor accommodations in
their plans for additional school fac
ilities. He called attention to the
present overflow of pupils onto pro-
perty that may at any time be with
drawn as playground and that the
plans for the future should take
care of the matter of Fairgrounds
in order to furnish the children with
the needed space for healthful eXer-
else.
Other remarks pertinent to the
school question was made by citi-
zens and it was the sense of the
meeting that conditions justify
prompt action on the part of the
citizens of this district in taking
steps to furnish the necessary relief.
A resolution offered by Mr.. c. E.
Jones was to the effect that the
committee above named be recon-
mended to the Parish School Board
as a committee to make investlga-
tons and recommendations to the
citizens of the district as to i'm
provements needed, available sites,

sary e. supply the reeded additional
facilities. A bond issue sufficient in
amount to provide buildings and to
permit of satisfactory balance for
maintenance was favorably n-en-
toned. Mayor Shannon made mo-
