The School League met in regular
session Tuesday, Dec 4. After dis
posing of routine business a very in
teresting paper by Mrs. Chas. Guz-
man, entitled "Our School Twenty
Years Ago." in which some very in
teresting facts were brought out.
Mrs. Guzman was first president OF
the School League twenty years ago.
The paper is as follows:
Twenty years ago there was no
public school in Slidell. The cause
was this: in order to have a public
school an enrolment of thirty pupils
with average attendance of twenty
two, was necessary. The teachers
salary was $25 a month with board
free. The parish granted bu three
months school year. Therefore,
either for insufficient enrolment or
lack of funds Slidell was without a
public school.
There was no public school build
ing. For years the Pythian Hall and
sometimes another building which
was built for the use of various re-
ligious sects for their church SER
vices, and called a club house, were
used for the school The school was
fitted up with long wooden benches
of common rough lumber. Desks
were unheard of 1uxuries. The
teacher used small wooden table.
rough and unlovely. These were the
uncomfortable and unattractive fur
nishfngs of our school.
In looking back few years before
this time-about % years ago-I re-
member Miss Brown was teacher
here, and before her Miss Ellen o.
sen-both very fine women and held
in high esteem by the people of Sill
dell.
There was always a private school
and a parochial school, these two
schools made it hard to get suffici-
ent enrolment to have a public
school,
Miss Lydia Neuhauser taught a
private school during the three years
that there was no public school. We
all loved her very much. She had
S5 or 40 pupils. They were crowd
ed in the club house, with none Of
the comforts of a modern school.
Seventeen years ago Judge Jos. B,
Lancaster was appointed Superin-
tendend Of Education for St. Tam
many parish. He was a fine man.
and knew the value of education. He
loved the children. Love begets
love"-so We all loved Judge Ian
caster.
Judge Lancaster began to build IN
the slidell school. He appointed two
teachers. Miss Sarah Hughes and Mrs
Mamie Gegard. He increased the
term from three months to six
months. The old Pythian Hall was
used. with calico curtain stretched
across to make two rooms. MANY of
the pupils were asked to bring their
own benches. There were about 20
pupils enrolled.
After this the population of Sldell
grew so rapidly that at one time it
was necessary to teach in three diff
ferent buildings.
On June %. 1900, some. of the
good ladies Of the town proposed the
building Of q school house. They
banded together and called them
selves the School Society,"" The
