Second and third terms taught by Miss Jennie Stick- ney. First term of nine weeks. Whole number of pupils, 5; average attendance, 4; roll of honor: Pauline A. Brown. Third term of two and one half weeks. Whole num-

ber of pupils, 5; average attendance, 2. This school had to close on account of sickness and non-attendance of pupils.
The School Board does not think it best to eulogize either teachers or schools but will say that a high grade of teachers were employed, and all pupils that attended school regularly made good advancement in their studies and there are a goodly number of scholars in town that will favorably compare with any that have had no better advantages.
