MEETING HELD FRIDAY,

Moved by Mr. Levy, seconded by

port submitted by the Superintend
ent be -hccepted:
Covington, La., April 9, 1920.
r To the Honorable President and
Members of St. Tammany Parish
School Board, Covington, La.
Gentlemen:-I beg to submit the
following as my report upon the con
I ditions of the public schools of this
) parish at the present time.
r In the first ward the Madisonville
school has been improved by having
i the basement fenced in. Both this
school and the one at Sand Hill aoe
running smoothly and will have a
nine months term. Since your last
meeting we have purchased the two
story frame building, with its fivo
Sacre site, that has been used by the
Madisonville colored school, for
$2500. This was made possible b.r
using the $1000 raised by the pat
rons of this colored school, $1003
given by this board, and a note of
$500 for one year, signed by twenty
odd patrons of the school, which was
accepted by the owners of the build
ing. You will remember that this
board agreed, at a recent meeting,
to pay $250 to be used in assisting
to retire this note. I wish to give
the teachers and pupils credit for a
good deal of work they are now do
ing in removing stumps from the
school grounds. It is the desire of
the patrons for this school to qualify
as a teachers' training school for the
opening of the year 1921-22.
In the second ward there has been
condiderable sickness, and Savan
nah Branch school had to be closed
because of the fact that the princ4
pal was taken with the mumps. In
the Folsom school we have had all
of the pupils vaccinated for small
pox. This work was very generous
ly performed by Dr. Jones, of Fo'
som, the board furnishing the vac
cine. My last reports from Union
Grove neighborhood was that the at
tendance was very low because of an
epidemic of severe colds, or light
cases of influenza. In the other
schools of the ward things appear to
be going successfully, although the
Middle Roads school has had a small
attendance, caused by la grippe, or
the influenza. It would appear that
the nsew puni at this:school does not
recei.l#doi'eful treatment from the
student body.'b'ecause it. has recently
gotten out of order, and it was ne:
essary to send a man from here to
repair it. 'I believe that this boar.l
should authbrize the building, dur
ing the' coming summer, of a new'
chimney in the Union Grove school,
and the extending, or lengtheninu,
of one in the Folsom school. All of
the school houses in the second ward
need re-painting.
At Mandeville we have ordered
fine new sanitary heaters that will
be installed as soon as possible.
Through the kindness of Dr. R. B.
Paine the .pupils of the Mandeville
and Lewisburg schools have been
vaccinated against smallpox, and
the fourth ward special tax furnish
ed the vaccine.
Three lots of ground have been se
lected as a site for the proposed
school building for the colored child
ren of Mandeville, and will cost the
board $325. The grounds of the
Mandeville high school have been
much improved by the setting out of
palms, and other plants, and, with
the assistance of the playground ap
paratus, it presents a very attractive
appearance.
Nothing new has happened in the
schools of the fifth ward. I have
asked the trustees of the Progress
school to attend to the building of a
shed for their teacherage, as in
structed by you, and I expect that
this will be attended to as soon as
the spring rush of planting is over.
A new ,pump has been.purchased for
the Sun school, and several other
minor improvements made.
I understand that some of the pat
rons of the Oak Grove school feel
that we should sell the teacherage
purchased some three years ago for
tjat school. It is true that our
principal this year has not been able
to occupy it, because of personal rea
sons, although he told me recently
that should he be re-appointed for
another year he would probably
want to live there. It was through
the earnest solicitation of a great
many of the patrons of th's school
that this farm and house were
bought The fact that we have not
used it this year does not, in the
slightest way, indicate, or prove, that
we will not use it next year, and I
would strongly recommend that it
would not be sold, although I be
lieve we could well afford to sell
most of the land that goes with it,
provided we had the opportunity.
In the sixth ward we have had a
great many caaes of the influenza
and the school was clo.cd at Tali
sheek by the prine'pal and trustees.
At Central one of the teachers wa;s
taken sick with the influenza, and
as she boarded with another member
of the faculty, the trustees believed
that it would not be wise to continue
school with only one regular mem
ber of the faculty present, therefore
ordered the school closed, and sent
word to 4this office, informing us of
their actions. At Slidell all public
schools were closed by orders of the
Mayor and local 'Board of Health.
I would like to ask that you would
please give me iunstructions regard

We, the members of the police

further that the paramount need of

Be it reoslved, That we heartily
endorse the work bong done by the

Be it further resolved, That we
hereby pledge ourselves to co-operate
with the above named Association in
1 its future work to this end, especial
ly in promoting a state-wide educa
tional publScity campaign, particu
larly in St. Tammany parish.

1 Whereas, the following letter has
been received from the Hibernit
Bank & Trust Co.:
New Orleans, March 30, 1920.
To the Police Jury of the Pariah of
St. Tammany, Louisiana.
Gentlemen:-This letter is to ad
vise you that we are entirely agree
able to your depositing with the Cov
ington Baik & Trust Company, of
your city, one-half of the funds real
ized from the tax collections on the
St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana,
Road Bond Issue, under the same
,te.rms and conditions that the re
mainder of the funds have to be de
posited with 'us.
Very truyl yours, -
P. H. WILKINSON,
Bond Officer.
Therefore be it resolved, That from
and after date hereof one-half of the
amount of taxes collected by the
Sheriff and Tax Collector for the
sinking fund of the Road Bond Issue
of April 15, 1919, be and the same
are ordered deposited In the propor
tions of one-half of said amount with
the Covington Bank & Trust Com
pany and the remainder with the
said Hibernia Bank & Trust Com
pany, of New Orleans.
This resolution having been put
to a vote was unanimously carried.
Whereas, a communication has
been received from the Good Roads
CommIlssion notifying this body of
the resignation of Mr. W. Oswald.
as commissioner, and recommending
ing the paying of the teachers dur
ing the time that these schools were
closed, and I will ask that you please
decide whether it makes any differ
ence as to who orders the schools
closed.
In the eighth ward I wish to re
port that the Indian Village colored
school has closed a term of six
months, and the teachers have open
ed the Hay Hollow school, near Fol
som. The water pipes have been
laid to the Pearl River school from
the Ozone Water Co's. well. This
Sperhaps, gives the Pearl R'iver school
as good a water supply as any school
in the parish. The new libraries
have been received in the Pearl
River, Robert and Ridge schools.
In the Slidell school I am pleased
I to report that a physical examina
tion of all of the pupils has besn
made by Drs. Griffith, Polk sand
Singleton, assisted by Miss Janellh
Lansing, the publte health nurse.
Scales have been purchased for the
school, so that monthly weighing
may be held, to determine whether
the natural increase in weight tI
being made. I might say here that
a similar dxaminittion was made by
Dr. R. B. Paine in the Mandeville
and Lewisburg schools.
Perhaps I will be pardoned if I
express at this time my belief that
a great deal of good will be accom
pl;shed by the Public Health Nurse,
and the co-operation of our local
physicians of the parish. We kn9w
that we have always been,glad to
believe that our parish is the most
healthful and safest place for man to
live, although we are a little bit
startled by the fact that rural d'q
tricts have a larger percentage of
defect:ve eyes, poor teeth, bad ton
si:s, adenoids, malnutrition, and
many other evils than is found in
our large city schools where exami
nations have been made. We know,
however, 'that this is caused only by
the fact that little or no attention is
given to these conditions in the coun
try. It would, therefore, seem rea
sonable for us to co-operate In every
way .posuible with the work that the
Red Cross nurse is attempting to do,
and I regret that we are not ab:e to
afford the services of such a person
