very pleasantly in each Of the Dr.
partmenas al the too schools. We
found in the OLYMPIA school total
membership on the rolls Of 1'2
scholars, n larger number than the
staff of teachers employed are cara-
BILE of iustructing thoroughly or with
satisfaction to either themselves or
the pupils. The average attend
ance, however, is considerably less
than this number, which has been
quite low througout the term in con-
sequence of the prevalence of cpl
demic diseases a greater portion OF
the time.
The higher department of this
school is under the instruction OF
Mr.. w. F. Thompson, the interme-
date that of Mrs. Thomson, and
the primary that of Mrs. r. s.
White. They all appear to be COM
petent and faithful to duty, and
should receive the cordial sympathy
and support of the community. BY
sympathy we mean that appreciation
of duty well performed which incites
to renewed effort and makes the
recipient an enthusi st in the work
by support, that cooperation in
promoting discipline and systematic
worlr zrhich will AnsnrA the t.~elAe.
the respect of his scholars. The first
may be shown by visiting the school
room, listening to Rotations and
taking an interest in the study under
consideration. Scholar, as we'll as
teacher, can perceive just how deep
this interest lies. If scholars do
we'll, say so; and if the teacher man
ifests an aptitude for his calling, lei
him know that his efforts are ap-
preciated. Our word for it, this
will lend a new interest to prosaic
lessons and enliven the dull rou-
tine of study.
The school house of this district
is large enough to accommodate the
anticipated increase Of population
for many years to come. Any effort,
therefore, made to better its con.
dition, or more fully adapt it to the
purpose to which it is devoted, is
proper. The framework, we un-
derstand is stanch and the timbers
practically as sound as the day they
were drawn from the forest. Such
improvements As may be made in the
several school rooms will, therefore,
be of permanent value to the district,
% well 20 affording an immediate
return in the greater comfort Of
scholars. A school room should be
cheerful and pleasant: its walls clean.
its furniture heat, its appointments
clean ard tidy. TO excite In the puril
