REPORT OF PINE GROVE SCHOOL,
ARBucKLE DIsTRIcT--This school
commenced Sept. 16. 1878, and clos
ed March 7, 1879.
The average daily attendance was
twenty-eight.
Below ! give the average of pupils
who studied Arithmetic, (practical
and mental), English Grammar, Ge-
ography and History:
Samuel E. Barnett, IS; Clinton

James Newman, so; Elijah P. Trent,

Nothing that would impede the
progress Of the school occurred during
the term. Although this school is
situated far in the backwoods and
surpassed by many Others in point
of numbers, yet, for talent; think
that it will compare fayorably with
any other in the rural districts.

No doubt either of these gentlemen
would make good officers. !, Candi-

rightly informed, however, the Office
now is not worth seeking for Moth
ing in it but the honor, and it-aH,
.dribbles out long before the term Of
office expires. We are more inter
ested just now as to how TO get our
pay as teachers, than we are as to
who is to be county superintendent.
