Dear Mr.. laurent

with submit the official clas-
sification of the white elemen
stary schools of your Parish.
One ranks Superior, Frisco,
Isix rank first class and only
lone, that at Vacherie, ranks
second class. 1t would not
require great Improvement
lat the latter school to bring
II also into the first class.
We might also say that with
some slight Improvement in
the qualifications of teachers
and the inauguration of a
greater variety of work at
, our larger schools several
Of them might easily be rais-
ted to the rank of Superior By
another year.
We congratulate you hearti
'iy upon the splendid condi-
ons obtaining at these
! caoois. Few if any parishe.
the State maintain so high
IN average, and we trust that
! rough your efforts and
those of your teachers such
Improvements may be made
ring this session as will en-.
Little certain of your school:
10 even a higher rating mex

ran over little girl and killed her.

JAMES JOHNSON.
SNAKE CATCHER
Negro Living Near Pen Mar
Has Great Collection of
"Pet" Reptiles at Home

Waynesboro, Pa, Aug. "a ne
gro by the name of James Johnson,
living near Pen Mar, exhibited n
large blue racer snake, which he
held a captive in a drugstore here
recently. The reptile was over five
feet in length and especially good
looking for q snake. Johnson re-
ceived a bite in the end of the mid
die finger on his right hand while
caressing the pet" in the drugstore,
but considered it trifie. The men,
Der did not swell, Which was ample
proof that the reptile was not pois-
onous.
This man makes his living by
catching snakes of all kinds - his
speciality being rattlesnakes. His
method is unique for it's simplicity,
but dangerous to an inexperienced
hand. Johnson locates the object of
his search and crawls up to it on
hands and knees, never for an in
slant taking his eyes from those of
the reptile. He claims by so doing
that he hypnotiZes it and renders it
powerless to move. With that ac-
icomplished he throws his hat over
the snakes head, which adds to its
bewilderment. and then the rest of
the work is easy. No forked prong
stick for him." he says.
Johnson claims to have in cap
tivity at his home an assortment of
three hundred rattlesnakes, copper
heads, moccasins, garter snakes,
black snakes, blue racer vipers. lie
promises Clarence Croft, the drug
gist here, that he will bring his col
lection to Waynesboro and place IL
on exhibition in his large show wln,
dow. He expects to be on nano
while the reptiles are on exhibition
so that he can look after feeding
them. The druggist requested this
of Johnson.
