in the state that can boast Of as high standing
as to punctualty and attendance. About sixty,
| believe, received certificates OF honor" for
having no marks OF absence or hardness dur
ing the year past. Besides these large num-
Der received certificates for the last term. In
the whole school there was but one case Of
hardness last term. A little boy OF the Prima-
ry was tardy once the first week of school
Harry Richards, Ida Squires and Frank Parks,
OF tho Grammar school, have never been alb
sent or tardy since the organization OF tho
school-seven terms. They are fortunate for
having good health as well as good pluck.
Board is very cheap here. There is probably
no town in the country In which students can
live and enjoy the advantages Of good school
at less expense than here.
The next term will commence the first Mon
day in September.
The School Boaod is composed OF men who
will kindly assist students in securing good
boarding places. or give them any information
they may desire concerning the school.
A catalogue Of the school will be sent free
to any address, on application to j. B. Potter,
