By L. . ALLEMAN (Reproduced from "Louisiana School Work.") The first school transfer in Louis tabs, possibly in the South, was in troduced in Lafayette Parish largely through the patrotic devotion of those two matchless public school men-Alcide Judice and Dr. N. P. Moss. This was in 1902, and in a short time Lafayette Parish had eighteen transfers transporting chiL dren in all sections of the parish. For a time there was a reaction against consolidation and transporta tion and the number of transfers was reduced to twelve in 1909. But the people of Lafayette, having once felt the advantages of consolidation, in sisted that there should be no retro gression; and gradually the school boaid was prevailed upon to rein state the abandoned routes. It is confidently believed that in a short time Lafayette Parish will have eight or tOn schools of the type now es tablished at Carencro. Ten years ago Carenfro was a one-room school with Ave or six-room schools within a ra dius of three miles. The enrollment then was about seventy-five; now there are nine teachers and three hun dred students in this school an& do mestic economy and agriculture are taught. There is but one of the con tiguous one-room schools left within a radius of six miles. This school will probably be consolidated within the present year. Lafayette is a small parish in area, bps a dense population, comparative ly goo 'roads, and as there are no Swamp, or marshes, every fertile le 4for tillage. While e ndand other attendant evils, yet the conditions named above kirv us a comparatively larger school lnn than the less fertile and less dleaselK populated parish. All of t ese coutoons make it an ideal` par $sh for :o.sotidation of schools. The pariah school board is mposed of progressve farmers and business men, and .aloet without exception th menbeus. believe in good strong dchool" lor tha neulected farm boys snd girls The na bers show their faith in this type of school by sets ngAverr opportunityl t give country thild~reu ,better schools. 'The board ha -reeently pi'ovided a st~eropticon for the ule of the super inten dent in pa rhwde campaign for osolid 1,o an to nsportation, ,. 'that with the preetsa S4A eb6ol I wmanwih mpe -~r 'ad 4110, DISTRICT COURT District Court convened yesterday morning, Judge Campbell presiding, with Clerk J. G. St. Julien, Sheriff La coste and District Attorney C. B. De Bellevue present. The grand jury was organized with Geo. E. Brown as foreman and the following members: C. E. St. Julien, Raoul Malagarile, John Bertrand, Lot Tarver, L. P. De Blanc, Thos. F. Webb, Geo. Hall, Sid ney J.' Provost, Edw. A. Alleman, Elot D. Broussard, R. W. Beadle. Judge Campbell read the usual charge to the Jury calling special at tention to the Gay-Shattuck law, trusts, concealed weapons, good roads etc., and laying particular stress up on the necessity fot a modern court building. He declared the present building did not comfort with the improvements made in school build ings and the progress and enterprise manifested throughout the parish in other matters. The Police Jury was requested to take up this question promptly and the court felt certain that there would be no difficulty in providing for a suitable building. St. Cecilla's P*'echlal School, Brous sard, La. On Sept. 2nd, the portals of St. Ce eilia's ParochiaL School were thrown1 open to an ambitious crowd of young people. On the opening day 235 pupils were enrolled, and the number has since increased to 250. The people of Broussard, though they cannot boast of their popula tion, may indeed be proud of their intelligence, which they exhibit by the vital interest which they take in their children's education. The following are the names of the pupils who have made an average of 90 per cent or above, in their daily recitations and monthly examina tion: High School: Miss Nettle Malagarie ......-..._._..90 5-9 Miss Lorine Girouard........... .....90 2-9 Eighth Grade: MIs Louisa Bernard .................90 5-7 Miss Stella Labbe .................90 3-14 Seventh Grade Miss Carmen DeLaureal ..-. ...90 Sixth Grade Miss Laurence Bernard ..........90 11-14 Nine Dollars will purchase a com plete EQUITY watch in a 20 year guaranteed case at Biossat's House of Quality.
