In the fall report of the school, made
by the teacher, find the average at
tendance eleven children sent to school
from the various members of his FAM
fly to be ninety per cent, and
among them three that did not miss a
single day In the eighty days of the
school. Now this good example is not
only worth reporting, but worthy of
imitation. One other, Livonia Fish
back, attended every day. Another of
the Fowlers missed but one day, and
four others were absent only two days.
Among these are a number of quite
small children. Comments upon these
facts are unnecessary. Go and do thou
likewise. OF course remarks upon the
school are uncalled for. The best five
reported arc: Levi S. Fowler, Allison
Fowler, John Gregory; Laurinda Fish

No. 37-FFemoRt-W. G. Feeny,
Teaeher.-This district having complet-
ed beautiful school house, secured a
superior teacher, and have had five
months of school Such kind of ill-
vcstments pay a heavy percentage not
only for the present but for all the flu
ture, in the prosperityffofi those now
under the parents eye. The true idea
is to make our home Institutions sufi-
GENTLY elevated to preclude the necessi-
ty of ana neahem or select school abroad.
Children should be educated under the
eye of their parents In the right
training of the children is the aope of
| the future. bees looHas ~ 20
'faNO. 39--S. Gcttys, aTeacher.-This
district had an excellent school last
summer, under the care of Mr.. TIGER,
and during the winter secured Mr.,Get-
tvs, who by faithfulness1 did good
| work. There was in fact q wonderful
enthusiasm among the pupils, though
slowed away in a wretched log cabin,
rather thicker than comfort would sug-
gest. The people have been talking
school house, some time; now the con-
tract is let, and it is the intention to
have the next school in a good house.

No. 4I-1meTicNS-W. S. Holsingcr,
Teacher.-After having visited this
school some three times, we felt dis
posed to say severe things. The school
was found III n miserable log cabin,
with seats upon which it would be an
act of cruelty to condemn even saw
ages to sit; but the report of tho an
nual meeting said that the district had
new seats. 1t would seem that the old
house was hardly worth repairing, but
it is evident the people do not wish to
run in debt just now, and are disposed
| to make what they have comfortable.
Well this is the main point, to make the
school room comfortable. All those NAL
edictions that were being Illuminated
must be left unsaid, and instead, Go
ahead. Mr.. Holsinger failed in one OF
two particulars, and this he did in yield
ing to the wishes of both parents and
children. Ist in not insisting upon mem
| tai arithmetic, I'd in not insisting upon
faithful .reYiews. Parents and pupils
are anxious that as much progress in
advance be made as possible. The true
way is to hasten slowly; reviewing
faithfully, and thus fixing everything
passed over, firmly in the mind, so as
never to lose it. The best three report
ed are: II. III. EdmistOn, Lewis Brown
James Andrews. - gas --f.f $50
No. 42-R. w. Randall, Teacher
This is small district, and is making
strenuous exertion to build a school
house. The school has been taught in
a private house. Some of the board of
directors listening to a lecture to the
citizens of Americas urging them to
provide better seats for their school
house, went home concluding that No.
A ought to have. some comfortable
school seats for the children of that dis
trict, and acted accordingly. The school
was small, but. the interest of both
teacher and pupils made it profitable
term. Another season will witness the
erection of a new school house for this
neighborhood. rssa Dsa
n. d. Every district should provide
the teacher with a School Register.
Blank District Orders can be had at
the EMPoRIA News Office, at 50 per
hundred. Let each District Clerk pro-
vide himself with a sufficient number
and there will be less trouble at the end
of the year in making out the financial
condition of the district.
