value Of this school to its patrons.
Tho HIGHLAND school was n of.the
superior schools taught in this
county.
The school in district No 81 was
taught by Miss Ida Kindlie for the
term Of two months. On May % !

Irregular attendance is one of the
faults ofthis school. Miss Kindlie

p~artrons. There ought to have been
better working energy in the school
and better reception of the instruct

mark that Americans would soon be
compelled to emigrate to Canada, is
without foundation in fact and Wis

about right. England will have a

There are now over 80 papers
published in Dakota. Eight years
ago there were only 3 newspapers in
the Tirritory, and the COURIER was
one of them.
The average population to the
paper then was about 5000. Put
ting the ratio at 5000 to the paper
would now indicate a population of
10000, which is about correct.

LApDoNIA, Mo March II, '79. .
Mr.. EDIroR: My school at the
Middle Lick school house which !
closed last Friday, averaged for the
term( five months) 17.13-1O0; number
enrolled, 40. Those whose names
deserve to be placed upon the roll of
honor for department and regularity
are Pyra Bond, Matte Bond, Mary
Bond, Anna Mettler, Nettie Elliott,
Orie Elliott, Otis Sprague, John
Lenltcn, Chas. Beal, Grant Beal,
Dave Beal, Chas. Day and Noah
Day. The attendance was better
than for some years past, but it might
have been still better. In spite of
my efforts to induce the patrons to
visit the school as often az possible
and show the children thereby that
they were interested, but few ever
came in, but one of the directors was
ever present. A few Of the people
of the district are interested in the
education of their children and are
careful that they attend school regu-
lar. but the majority are negli, gent
and need a great s'shaking up" of
some kind. They don't seem to re-
alize the value and importance of
education. We believe the Institute
to he of greet utility among the peo-
pie wherever it meets, and think it
would probably be productive 0 fgreat
good il we could get il to in
this district once. JOHN BEAL.
