SATURDAY, NOV. 29,1884.
Proceeding* «f the Parish School
Board.
TIiibod«ux, October 1st, 1884.
The Parish Board of School Directors of the
Parish of Lafourche met this day lor their reg
ular monthly meeting.
Present • Thomas L. Winder, President,
Thomas A. Baileavx, Secretary amt Sui>eriii
tendeut, and Directors J. L. Aucoiu, J. M.
Howell' aud Ernest Roger.
Absent iDirectors S. T. Grisamore, Lepiue,
and-W. H. Ragan.
The minutes of the last regular meeting of
the Board were read, and approved us recor
ded.
The Superintendent submitted the follow

ordered to be spread sin the miiiutes

To the President and Item her- ot the Parish
Board ot School Directors of the Parish of
Lafourche.
Since our last regular meeting, I lure visit
ed the Guion Academy uiui Corporation
School.
I found but » very small attendance at the
Corporation School
Daring the vacat'd!, considerable portions
of the leuce have been destroyed, aud large
gaps uow exist at the front and rear of the
School lot. lu my opinion, it is useless to re
build the fence, at it would only result iu
further depredations. The Board should use
the pickets now letc standing in the front,
to repair the gaps in the rear,* aud should
bhild a wire fence .long the whole front of
tbq lot. The taucet oi l he cisteru needs re
pairing.
At the Guion Academy, th* attendance is
good fur the first mouth, and the progress of
the pupils is s itisfactory. The teachers are
3 ble aud paius-takiug, aud maintain a good
iscipliua iu the flehuoi. The building is iu
•erious need of repairs. The upper room
should receive a ceiling as soon as there will
be funds available for the purpose. The hall
needs a uew floor, and the supports of the
iliwl, ut the rear ot the building, are inse
cure. and sli-uld receive immediate attention
The large room up stairs has heretofore bean
used iu common by the Principal jaud oue of
the assistants, hut the iiiconvoiiieiices at
tending this arrangement are sol groat, that
the Principal inquests that the| Board shall
authorize him to partition the apartment by
nieaus of a curtain, which will bo compara
tively inexpensive, and will have the advan
tage of being readily removed iu case of need.
The blackboards of the school want a coat of
paint, wliieli will improve their usefulness
very materially.
By reason of high water, the session of eev
era! schools was interrupted. Among others,
may be mentioned the Laiorest and Vacherie
sch ools. As the Luforest had only been
in session one month, I took it upon myself,
after consultation with the President, Ito au
tborizejMisa Laforest to re-open the school,
and to continue the session for three mouths,
in order to equalize tins school with the oth
ers, whose session for 1881 extends to four
months.
Mr. O. Faqnet, a very deserving and com
petent teacher, asks to be assigned to the Va
chene school which is entitled t* a session of
two mouths and a half.
The teacher of the Collin School, below the
Cut-Ufi. requests that his school be accorded
a session oi six mouths, in consideration of
the fact, that no session was had at the Cher
arnie school daring the present year, provi
ded that the latter school shall have a ses
sion of six months during the next year.
Onr eificieut Treasurer baa prepared a com
P*«t* *nd elegant plan of a school house.
Which I hereby submit to your Honorable
Body with the recommendation, that all
achooi houses to be built iu the parish hereaf
ter, shall be ia accordance with tbisplau, sub
ject to the modifications as to pliiueusious, as
circumstances may reuder uecassary. I
would suggest that a vote of thanks be ten
wed Mr. oancau for bis beautiful design.
The President snd I, iu pursuance of in
structions. advertised for sealed proposals
for the construction of a school Loose at Ba
you Bine, Pierce's and Lougueville. After
consultation with one of the leading citizens
of Bayou Blue, we came to the conclusion,
that inasmuch a*, no more than twenty five
childreu, ou the average, would probably at
tend this particular school, it would he a use
less waste of public lunds to erect a building
of eighteen by thirty-six feet in that -settle
ment. We, therefore invited bids for s
bouse of eighteen by twenty-five feet. Two
Olds have been submitted, one being thst of
Francois Boxer, offering to take the contract
for six hundred and seventy-five dollars, aod
the other, that of Leufroid Daigle whose
proposition is, three hundred and fifty Dol
^e nre without any bids for the Pierce snd
Lojgueville Schools.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS A. BADEAUX,
The Superintendent and Mr-'T'T! ^Ucoiu
were authorised to have some of the meet
pnwiag repairs made on the Onion Academy.

A vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. San
canfor bis elegant plan of a school house.
A petition praying that a school bouse be
toeatod in the imm-diate vicinity of St. Johns
""tl'eleft bank of the Bayou was laid
on the table, for the leaaon, among others
that the locality was not suitable for the pur
pose. Messrs Ernest Roger, Leonidas Tros

mittee to locate a school in their section, and

a large and wide-spread charity. It
was charity for hnmble Susan to spend
her holiday afternoon at the bouse of
a still poorer neighbor, amusing hsr

A heavily loaded wagon was passing
through a gateway, and when partly
through, the gate swung to. A boy
passiug at the moment quietly set it
hack and w.iIked on. The driver did
not observe the gate and never knew
what a jolt, and perhaps inconvenient
breakage he was saved. But the boy

What, if he had passed on, and
