gress. During the past SIX months (
the congress has been most unfairly |
represented as being the influence
which is arrayed against cutting down |
expenses. In point of fact and as a
matter of official record, the contrary
is true. There has scarcely been a
request for appropriations made of
the congress by any executive de-
partment or commission, or other ad-
ministrative agency but has been con-
siderably reduced. Even requests for
appropriations which have received
the approval of the budget bureau
and sent to congress have been very
materially reduced by that body.
While a great deal of publicity has
been given-and justly SOTO the
fact that since the creation of the
budget bureau there have been saw
ings of approximately S30O,000,000
made by the inauguration of ecOno-
mics in the various administrative
bureaus there has not been very much
said regarding the equally important
fact that since congress assembled
in special session the 18th day of
April it has made savings of over
$500, 100000 by reducing requests for
appropriations made of it by various
executive departments, commissions,
bureaus, etc.
Furthermore, without any detrac-
tion from the budget bureau and its
operations, it should never be forgot
ten or cease to be emphasized that
the very existence of the budget bu-
reau, with all the power it possesses
for introducing business methods in
public affairs and enforcing econo-
mics in the various administrative
agencies, is due solely and wholly
to the act of congress which created
the budget bureau and clothed it with
whatever authority it possesses.
, Congress we'll knew wnat it was
doing when it did create the budget
bureau. 1t enacted the law calling
! that bureau into existence and giving
it tremendous powers to enforce econ
omies for the reason that it was in
the heart and mind of the congress to
reduce public expenditures. Nor was
it an act performed upon the spur of
the moment or in a wave of enthus-
j. iasm. The republican congress elect
. ed in 1913 enacted budget law diff
fering in no great detail from the
budget law now on the books, only
to have it vetoed by President Wilson
upon the ground that it interferec
with his executive prerogatives.
So it may be truthfully stated that
it has been a firm and fixed policy
. of the congress to compel reduction
Of public expenditures
Two influences are going to oper
. ate during the next 90 days to defea
the economy program. One is the out
! side public influence which is alway:
. backing up fads and pet ideas which
call for federal aid in the way of an
: preparations and creation of bureaus
!, commissions, etc. The other is the in
fiuence Of bureaucracy, already en-
trenched in Washington. A grea-

though the war is over and the pri

To the Honorable President and Mem ners

Sirs-As one Of the purposes of this

Of school desks for the schools of the par
ish I beg to submit TO you the following
On September a3 addressed ctrcuar
letter 60 all the principals of the schools
j Of the parish asking them to submit to me
the number of pupils enrolled in eheir
schools at the present time, the number OF
desks they now have and the number OF
desks needed. I have received replies from
nineteen out of twenty schools. one ran
ing to reply due I presume 20 unavoidable
Y reasons. In this same circular letter
asked each principal 70 inform NE of the
number of teachers having each an enroli-
nnent of forty or more pupils. This latter
question was asked in order that mign'

could be DONE 1t could be foreseen very
easily that the time would soon come when
it would become necessary to divide each
grade and employ two teachers. This crises
occurred this session and in a way rather
unexpectedly and with considerable en-
phasis. The increase in enrolment, instead
of being gradual as in the past, jumped up
to 120 children more than the school en-
rolled in its history. The grades had to
be divided Immediately and each division
now has as many pupils as the whole grade
had two or three sessions ago.
AT the present time every room in the
building is occupied. including the basement
! rooms and~ also the auditorium. An in
board member from the third ward. and
| me- showed clearly the necessity of rent
| ing quarters to take care of the high school
| grades. This was done and the late Hon.
| f. N Pugh's property was rented for the
session. This will leave the main building
| for the primary and elementary grades
What is of vital concern to the patrons
| of the Donaldsonville High School, and the
main object of this special report. is the
acquisition of a desirable site where SOON
er or later building will have to be erect
ed to house properly the high school grades
This property should be, if possible. within
la reasonable distance to the high school
building. Respectfully yours.
| LIZ" r'= Fl. P. BROUSS RD, Supt.
! Mr.. Lemann remarked that in his
opinion the most desirable piece of prop
erty that could be purchased for the pur-
pose is the property of the late Honorable
E, N. Pugh. Besides being well suited
and properly located, the property should
be bought in the of the parish. For
There was born Governor Nichols, soldier,
la statesman and a great Louisianian. There
Ilived also the late Hon. E. N. Pughs the
father of modern school system in this
lparish and who was member of the school
tboard for over a period of twenty years.
Mr.. Dugas offered the following resolu-
ltion:
Be it resolved, that the president of the
board be and he is hereby given full au-
thority to negotiate with the owner of the
Hate Hon. E. N. Pugh's property with the
view Of acquiring same for the Ascension
Parrish School Board.
The above resolution was adopted by ter
yeas and no nays.
There being no further business the
board adjourned.
