Last Saturday Mr.. o. M. Carter
and his pupils met to decorate the
high school room. Arches of cedar
were placed between the windows and
the room hung with fine pictures. A
clock, purchased by the pupils, also
adorns the walls. Over the teachers
desk, in letters of cedar, is the mot
to: "God bless our school," The
school room is the finest and most
tastily arranged of any in the county,
if not in the State. Mr.. Carter is
succeeding admirably, and is justly
proud of his school, All of his pu-
pills seem to be working for the love
of work. A third department is to
be added to-day, with Miss Martha

ter as Principal, Miss Ross in the In
termediate department, and Miss
Pilchard in the Primary, our schools
can not do otherwise than flourish.
