owners MEET.
STEPS TAKEN TO GET THE
BITULTTHIC PAVEMENT.

About two weeks ago a number O
citizens owning property on Cente
! Street held a meeting in Mayor Sea
ly's office to try to get together o.
some plan for paving that thorough
| fare.
Nothing definite was accomplished
at that time, as there developed som,
differences of opinion as to wha
width of street should be built, anC
the Mayor adjourned the meeting un
til the property holders could get to
gether on some one idea.
As sequel TO this first gathering
another meeting was called for We'd
nesday night at old No. One Hall, al
7:15 o'clock. =
Those present were: L. j. Gautreau
T. d. Broussard, Chas. Carstens, S
J. Miguez, Simon Ackal, P. A. Rahm
j. Delahoussaye, Henry Smith, Rev
Paradis, j. S. Gary, H. Etie, C. La
coste, w. G. Disch, N. Delcambre,
Joe Piccaro, P. r. Burke, Paul Sub
erbielle, Frank Hebert. B. Langla,
Sr, Clay Savoie, A. Roger, D. Drago,
Daphis Broussard, Fritz Dietlein and
E. j. Carstens, Sr
For convenience in handling the
details of the matter the street was
divided into three sections with a
committee Of property owners to act
for each section, as follows: 1st Unit
Main st. to Washington ST., j. P.
Suberbielle, Paul LeBourgois and J
5. Gary. End Unit Washington st.
to Alfred ST, v. Drago, N. Delcam-
bre and Daphis Broussard. 3rd Unit
c. Lacoste, w. F. Carstens, M. D. act
ing for E. j. Carstens, Sr, and Ev-
ard Broussard.
1t seems to be the intention of these
residents along Center Street that a
Bitulithic pavement should be put
down.
1t will be remembered that con-
tract was placed several months ago
for gravelling this street, and the
bonds have been issued for such pur-
pose. But the contractors failed to
make good and the proposition isl
low open for action.
In the meantime the price of al
gravel street has approached very
near that of Bitulithic, and gravel
has been proving unsatisfactory, so
hat the Center Street people think it'll
oest to pay the slight additional
,harge and get the better street.
1t now remains only to decide how
vide this pavement shall be, and
whether q neutral ground shall be
eft in the center or on the sides as |
N West Main Street.
The committee will also try tol
nake arrangements whereby the city
tself will build the street, at cost,
hus keeping down the price consider
bly,.
Further developments will be await
d with interest, as this is one of the
streets of New IBERIA.

two weeks activities, a copy Of which
report we print here

New iberia, La.
Dear Sir
In compliance with your request
chat | make report Of the work |
nave done and the results accomplish
ed, for submission to the Board,
beg to report. | have met with very
little opposition as everywhere | call
ed the parents or guardians of child
ren seem TO have been prepared for
what was coming. The greatest diff
ticulty encountered has been in as
certaining the names and locations of
children out Of school, as parties
who might be able to furnish the de-
sired information hesitate for fear of
causing hard feelings with their
neighbors Quite a. number of per-
sons have, however, furnished me
with information that has resulted in
putting children in school who had
never seen q school room.
Aside from the number of children
stopped on the streets, have gone
directly to the homes of 113 children,
some of whom were in school and
some over the age limit, while others
were supporting widowed mothers
OF the number visited, have notified
86, as my reports from day to day to
your Office will show. In following
up the work, and from the reports to
your Office furnished by the several

public schools, and as near as | can

Quite few Of the SO were notified
late in the week and have promised
to be in school next Monday morn
ing.
| have had one case reported toI
ne, which rs you know was case
for the Red Cross and l have made
no~ record Of it thus far.
The most deplorable condition |
have found thus far is the number of
children doing mems work in the
fields planting cane. on the pretext
that labor can not be procured, while

across and into hundreds of strongl
lble bodied, well fed negro men loi-
ering around their favorite haunts.

nay appear a little i'll graced on myE
'art to appear to be advising, you, {
would suggest and urge very strong I
z that the School Board take up with
he authorities entrusted with enforc-
ng the laws and urge upon them the I
and real necessity at this
lme of rigidly enforcing the vagran- b
y laws and forcing these hordes of +

SCHOOL PAYS HONOR
TO BEST STUDENT.
MISS ANTE DUPUY. MOST
STUDIOUS." DIED SUNDAY.

On Monday, February 7th the stu
dents and faculty of the New Iberia
High School were called upon to
show their sincere regard for one of
their number who had answered the
last roll call. This was the first
time that this had occurred within
| the. memory of those who have been
connected with the High School for
the last twelve years.
Ante Dupuy entered the High
School September 8, 1919 and always
ranked high among the students of
her class. At the opening of the
present session, the third Monday in
January, she enrolled as a student in
the 9th A grade. She belonged to
the group of students who each term
attain an average of 90 or over in all
subjects and hence are exempted from
final examinations In "populari-
ty contest conducted in the first
part of the previous session she re-
ceived the largest number of votes
as 1.-THE most studious" pupil in the
High School.
Hers was a gentle and reserved
character. She moved so quietly a
mong her fellow students that when
the news was brought that she was
no longer with us it was difficult for
many to recall more than her name
as one on the roll. But her teachers
knew her as an ambitious student,
conscientious almost to fault. She
eagerly absorbed all the knowledge
within her reach and was ever
prompt with her assignments and in
the performance of her duties. Her
will remember her always
as grave, refined student, holding
her place among them so gently that
it seems she must still be with them.
She had been absent from school
scarcely two weeks and it was gen
orally known she was i'll with the
grippe which has been prevalent a.
mong the students for over two
weeks. Her death came as COM
plete shock to many for scarcely any
knew that pneumonia had set in and
that she was desperately i'll. She
lied Sunday night at the home of
relative, Mrs. Derouen, at the age of
sixteen years.
School was dismissed at $3.50 Mon
lay afternoon and the entire student
body and faculty formed a guard of
honor for the funeral cortage as it
moved from Weeks St. to st Peters :
Catholic Church where the last ser
7ices were conducted The girls of
he ninth grade, carrying flowers, led
he procession. Floral offerings from
he faculty and her class attested
he deep sympathy of her teachers
nd classmates for her bereaved faith
r, Mr.. Henry Dupuy, and for her
ther grief-stricken relatives.

studies in farm business analysis.
During the last year 400 records were
obtained in farm business analysis
surveys on two general crop and live
stock areas in Iowa, 300 on fruit
and truck area in Florida, 1856 on q
general farming area in New Hamp-
shire, so on a similar area in Ohio,
100 on fruit district in Virginia,
and 100 on cooperative tractor and
farm organization study in two areas
in Ohio. Several of these surveys
have been in progress for a number
of years.
Similar studies on specialized types
of farming are being made in cooper
alton with State agricultural colleges.
In Kentucky the tobacco crop on rs
farms in each of two areas has been
intensively studied. with complete
farm survey record taken on many of
the farms at the end of the year. In
New Jersey about 100 enterprise sur
vey records were obtained on tomato
and potato farming.
