Editor Tribune:
Having just spent day visiting the diff
ferent grades of the village school, have
IL few remarks to offer:
do not believe that one fourth of the
people in this village fully realize or ap
preciate the fact that the Morris school,
under the present able management, is n
model of excellence, in point CT thorough
discipline, systematic grading. methods of
instruction, and every thing that pertains
to successful school.
The causes that have led to the present
satisfactory results Can easily be traced.
The people of the village first took Il step
in the right direction by voting ample
funds to build C. mmodious school house
and to pay for first class teaching. TLey
n xt took another sensible step in electing
upon the board of trustees, men who take
il deep interest in whatever is of public
benefit. These men have erected, finished
and furnished, in the most modern and APP.
proved manner, a building which in itself
is thing of henuty; they have secured the
services of teachers whose ability and quail
itca,ions are almost beyond criticism, and
have supported those teachers in the dis
charge of duty.
Under the principalship of Mr.. E. W.
Randall a thorough discipinarlan and
educator. the school has been well graded
and the course of instruction systemizcd
| The teachers have worked in unison, and
paying attention TO the minutest details es
sential to success, have won the Interest
and co operation of their pupils, and the
school roes merry as a marriage bell"
| Now there is one thing more for parent:
and friends to do: Goahd visit the school
show that you are interested. and arpre
ciate Il good thing when you have it
Stand Ivy the teachers as they are honestly
,oiling, and my word for it you will not Ii
sorry.
congratulate tie village, and bid th'
school God speed"
