is a two-story modern brick struc-
ture. The school lot is approx
imately half of a block, and this Is
taken up largely by the building.
1t is unfortunate to have the
school so badly cramped for
space; it will not be possible for
the school to carry on the recre-
ational and physical training fea-
lures which are now considered
essential in a modern school
plant.
The school is moving smoothly
the equipment for the laboratory
is good, and the library is grow
ing.
Loreauville-This school is
housed in a one-story frame build
ing. which has grown by the ad-
dition of rooms as the school has
become larger. AS might be ex-
pected. this has not resulted in
getting suitable lighting for
many of the rooms. This feature
is very defective in fully one-half
of the rooms; it must be a severe
strain on the eyes Of students to
attempt their work. This COM
munity ought to begin to make
plans for voting the money
needed to erect a modern school
plant here. This portion of the
Parish is rather thickly populated
and needs a standard high school
for this section.
There are PIT children in the
grades and 33 in the high school.
One teacher in the grades has 49
pupils, another IS, and another
66. When it is remembered that
80 is the best number for teach
er to instruct, it will be seen that
at least two additional teachers
would improve conditions very
much.
Yours very truly,
G. A. IVES,
State High School Inspector,

LETTER FROM STATE HIGH
SCHOOL INSPECTOR.
Baton Rouge, Dec. l, 1919.

Baton Rouge, Dec. l, 1919.
Superintendent T. H. Harris. Ba-
*ton Rouge, La:
Dear Sir-Herewith is cy re-
port of a visit to the high schools
in the Parish of iberia. Our
thanks are due Superintendent
Tilly for various courtesies. lie
accompanied us to each of the
schools, thus giving an opportun-
itv to discuss matters in connec-
ton with the high schools and the
general school situation in the
Parish. The school interests OF
the Parish seem to be progressing
in a satisfactory manner.
New Tberia-There was no ma
terial change in this school since
the last inspection. 1t is one OF
the older high schools of the
State and has enjoyed a splendid
reputation for standard work
during those years. This school
has an unusually extensive lib
rary, as compared with those gen.
erally found in the Louisiana
high schools. We heard a recita-
ton in Caesar, where each mem
Der of the class in turn translated
the entire chapter required for
the days lesson. They translated
fuently and smoothly and showed
grasp on what the writer was
trying to convey. It was among
the best recitations of the kind we
have seen this, session. In the
French classes the direct method
is being used with good results.
Students are learning to- under
stand this language by ear as well
as by sight and should secure
good speaking ability.
The high school students are
divided into groups, each under
the charge of teacher. for the
physical training work. Twenty
minutes a day is given to these ex-
ercises, which are being carried
out in accordance with the plans
suggested by Mr.. Lombard, State
Physical Director. The present
grounds are SO small as to handi-
cap this work to some extent.
especially for the boys.
The town Of New iberia has
voted $20O,O0 with which to erect
a high school building and at
least one additional grade build

high school building will be lo-I
Gated on ample grounds SO as TO
make possible a really modern
school plant.

school department, seven teachers

HE POSTMASTERSHIP.

The postmastership IS enough OF business propo-
sition and OF enough Importance that young men
who have had practically experience in the
handling Of men iva "a business way, or of large af-
fairs should have more respect for it than 10 at
tempt 10 encumber it 10y making application for
the appointment. When post Offices of the South
BEND class were placed under the civil service II
was with the Of getting men at the head OF
such Offices with experience. and able to maintain
the office on something OF business basis.
Failure to carry this design will make the civil
service in postmastershps mere joke. This is no
criticism Of men who have held the office by poll
IDEAL appointment They have always been chosen
with some consideration for their qualifications. and
they have generally done well. Tt would be poor
stick OF a congressman who would pick a man for
postmaster in town like South Bend who was not
at least somewhat representative of his party. We
suggest under the civil service, that man should
be promoted to the postm astership who is acA
ouainted with the office nd the business, if any
one inside cares to accept the promotion.
Candidates for the office under the new system
are not expected TO attain their ambition boy way of
political pull but D. force competitive eXamina-
ton rhe opening left by Postmaster Znky's resig-
nation leaves a gap that should be filled honestly,
and with as much regard for the office and its inn
portance as the law contemplates That is enough
md anything less is not enough. We anticipate that
the civil service examiners in their recommendation
will see to this We at least hope they will and that
every technical qualification. business fitness. and
executive experience will be taken into fun account
