School Board P;oceedings. on the first Friday of each month, the color-:: teachers will meet on thei second Saturday, and the Thibodaux' Institute will hold its session on the last Friday of the month. I am sat. isfied that these institutes will have a very beneficial effect on the teaching corps of the parish. The law ailows the Superintendent three dollars for every session of the Institute that he holds, and the institute managers are entitled to two dollars and a half per day, for hlike services. As the funds of the Board are very limited, I have decided not to avail myself of the extra compensation to which I am entitled for institute work, and the thanks of the Board are due to the Institute managers appointed for their generosity and public spirit in watving their right to the compensa tion the law accords them. In this connection, I will lay before your honorable body a communica tion from Prof. H. B. Chambers, State Institute Conductor in which he intimates very broadly that if this Board desires to have a summer nor mal institute of four weeks duration, one can be held at Thibodaux, pro vided three hundred dollars, tihe cost of the undertaking is contributed. The advantages of having profession al and academic instruction given to our teachers, and those of the sur rounding parishes, for four weeks, by competent professors is one that ought not lightly to be put aside, but is a matter that requires our most earnest consideration. In pursuance of the instructions given me by the Board I have adver. tised for bids for the construction of three school houses, one at Kraemer's, one at Lubin Bergeron's, in Bayou Blue, and one near the Cut Off. I lay before the Board the bids received for the building of the two last.named school houses. No bid has been received for the Kraemer school house. I have had occasion to enforce the policy of the Board in regard to de clining to pay rent for buildings used by the Board unless same were in good, comfortable condition. In three instances, the owners of the buildings have been notified that we wiald pay no rent until necessary repairs would be made. In order to raise the standard of qualifications to teach, I believe th:t a professional library for the teachers would be an excellent thing Seven ty five dollars would buy a sufficient number of standard works to form the nucleus of. such a library. As the: salaries paid our teachers are so small. it wou'd be a hardship upon them to even expect that they could supply themselves with the necessary books of instruction on the calling. The new desks which the Board authorized me to purchase for the Lockport School are now in position in that school and give perfect satis faction. I regret to state that there seems to be a misunderstanding on the part of the Lockport Public School Association in regard to the old desks of that school. The Board will remember that new desks were furnished the Lockport School H-.use with the understanding, that the oll de-ks would belong to the Board, and would be used for other houses that required additional desk capacity. It seems that the owners of the Lock. port School House new decline to allow the old desks to be removed. Action in this matter will have to be taken by the Board. The semiannual examination of applicants to teach will be held on Thursday and Friday, the 11th. and 12th. of April, for white applicants, and on Friday, the 18th of April for colored applicants. Due notice of these examinations have beea given as ordered by the State Superinteni dent. I have been asked whether an enu. meration of children of educable age by the Assessor would be required this year. An examination of the latest statute on the subject sLhows that a census of school children need only be made every four yeais, and that the last census was made in 1899. The law requires us to meet in re gular session on the first Saturday of every quarter, but as this is a very inconvenient day for some of the members of the Board, I would re commcnd that some other day, near the beginning of each quarter be selec ted for our regular meetings. I have made several official visits to school since the beginning of the present session. I made it my busi ness to snend at least thtree hours in each school visited, and to inspect the building and surroundings, and also, to find put the methods employed in imparting instruction. I made notes of everything connected with the schoo!s that might be of a character to interest the Board, but, as this re ;prt is already quite lengthy, I will simply state that my visits covered the following schools: Ariel, Chac. hay, Bitliu, Scally, Bergeron and Guion Academy. I will, on some :future occasion give the results of my iuslection of the schools. S Reaspectfully submitted, lTh,~~mas A. IUdeaux. i'*arish ,Splerintendent A letter from Prof. . E. Cham. bers, State Institute Conductor, sug gesting that if the proper efforts were made and the necessary inducements were offered by this Board that a summer normal institute to last four weeks would most Probably be held in this parish was laid before the Board. The Board considered that a State Teachers' Institute had recently been held in this Parish and that the Pariah Superintendent was now bold. lug tLonthly Institutes, and that in the existing situation of the school finds in the treasury, they could not aford to appropriate three hundred dollars towards paying the expenses of the summer normal, resolved to forego the holding of such an inst. tute in this parish, and the Superin tendent was requested to notify the State Institute Conductor to that effect. The offer of Bell & Company, pub. Ishers of Kansas City to furnish their charts to the schools of the parish at the rate of ten dollars each was considered but declined. The posts of the fence at the Guion Academy were ordered to be painted in order to be uniform with the new fence lately erected on the south side of the property. Inasmuch as the School House Fund, with the legitimate demands to be made upon it for repairs on school houses and rent of buildings used for that purpose would suffice *to build but one school house, it was determined to accept the bid of Mr. Lu:li Borgeton for the erection of a s5chool house on the site recently donated to the Board for a school house, the price to be paid him being three hundred and fifty dollars. The Superintendent was directed to inform the owners of the Lockport School House Association that they 1 must select between retaining the t new desks lately supplied to that school house, or surrendering ith old desks in that schwol house to be used for other school houses that needed them. The question of having a Fiscal - Agent for the custody of the school funds, which are entirely under the control of the Board and of no other body was brought up, and it was 1 decided to invite proposals from the Bank of Thibodaux and from the Bank of L ifourche as to the terms and conditions under which they would act as such custodian of the school fun Is of the Parish, It being the consensus of the Board that a b bonuts would be preferred. The first Thursday of each quarter ' was chosen for the regular meetings of the Board. The Snperiuteudent was authorized. to inform the teacher of the Gaude School to the effect that if she would extend a written apology to Director Scott for her act of insubordination in refusing to obey the order to close her school tempoiarily on account of the prevalence of smallpox in thei neighborhood, Mr. Scott acting at the . time on behalf and by authority of the School Board, that, on her com plying with this condition she would ue reinstated. Sevcnty five dollars was appro- ptiated to purchase a teachers' libra ry, or rather, the nucleus of one. The School Treasurer submitted the following report: Report of A. J. Braul.
