Dear Mr.. laurent
We here
With submit the official clas-
;ification of the white elennen
.ary schools of your Parish.
One ranks Superior, Frisco,
six rank first class and only
one, that at Vacherie, ranks
second class. 1t would not
require great improvement
1t the latter school to bring
It also into the first class.
We might also say that with
some slight improvement in
the qualifications of teachers
and the inauguration of .
greater variety' of work at
our larger schools several
of them might easily be rails
ed to the rank of Superior By
another year.
We congratulate you hearth
y upon the splendid condi-
ions obtaining at these
schools. Few if any parishes
IN The State maintain so high
an average, and we trust that
.ough your efforts and
those of your teachers such
improvements may be made
ring this session as will en-
title certain of your schools
to even a higher rating next
summer.
Yours sincerely,
c. j. Brown,
Chief State Rural School
Supervisor.
There being no further
business on motion of Mr..
