MOnfOrt.

The 4th of July is coming this way
this summer, again, and our people
are preparing for a grand celebration.
Both time and money will be put in
without stint; come one and all 10
Montfort to help celebrate the grandest
birthday in the worlds history. The
Montfort Star Band will erect stand
near the p. 0. where they will discourse
sweet music during the day.
The band gave a lawn party few
evenings ago that was real social sue
cess; every body turned out and all
were truly happy. Montfort will not
be out done in her social affairs.
Our people are listening to-day with
throbbing hearts, to the eloquent teach
ings of an Episcopalion minister from
Lancaster.
The Varcoe Brothers have McCor-
mick machinery agency, at theCommer-
cial House, and will endeavor to furnish
our farmers with the best harvesting
machines in the market.
Railroad men and the travelling pub
lie are stopping at the Commercial
and are well pleased with their enter
tainment.
A large delegation of our citizens
and soldiers attended the reunion at
Darlington last week. Among those
attending may be mentioned; David
Eastman, @ Thomas, j. A. Thomas. j.
kendric and John Bouden. We under
stand that the Grant County Soldiers
organization will be re-established; we
hope it is true. and that Old Grant will
do herself the honor of ever maintain
ing the organization so long as soldier
lives to tell the story of the struggle for
liberty and national life.
We cannot close without tossing up
our old hat, and saying hurrah for
Blaine and Logan.

FIRST PRIMARY DEPARTMENT.
Prineipal's Report.

Lancaster w Is, June II, 1901.
Members Of the Board Of Education:
GENTLEMEN. = | have the honor to
present, herewith. my statistical report
of the Lancaster Public Schools for the
half term ending June -.
Most noteworthy in the history of
the School during this period has been
the School Exposition, concerning which
YOU are already acquainted. The finan-
cial receipts, beyond expenses, were
about sos; but more valuable than that
are the educational results which | con-
tidently trust will accrue.
Notwithstanding many hindrances.
which need not now specify, | do not
hesitate to say that the year just closed
has been characterized by earnest work
on the part of the teachers, and consid-
cradle advancement on the part of the
pupils. Department, grading, thorough
ness, and advancement are all far more
satisfactory now than at any previous
time since my acquaintance with the
School. The classes are now well
graded below the High School. and
even in the latter department, where it
most difficult to rectify classification,
the irregularity is fast disappearing.
Ten grades of the School are now up TO
the course of study, and the others
nearly so. Every grade, with one or
two possible exceptions, is in advance

recall no serious eases of discipline
that have occurred during the past
term, and there seems to be very
gratifying spirit of goodwill and coop
Grafton among both teachers and stu
dents.
Allow me to remind you that. in adj
dition to some improvements about the
building, change of readers is great
IL needed After careful examination,
the teachers recommend Appleton 5
or Sheldon $ A corresponding change
of spoilers is also desirable. These
could all be obtained at exchange rates
without any loss to the pupils. With
these exceptions it is probably best to
retain the text books for the present.
| earnestly hope that no change will be
made IN the course of study or the pres
ent methods Of grading until they have

ADIEU. And now the time has come
to bid our readers farewell. The views
that we have expressed in this column
have been frank and outspoken, with
out regard to the popular verdict that
they might receive. That all sentiments
should meet the concurrence of all our
readers has not been expected; but we
believe that the future will vindicate
most, if not all, of the statements that
have been made. If the column has
been the means of informing the public
regarding the common schools, and
particularly concerning the Lancaster
Schools: If it has corrected some mis-
apprehensions; suggested some new
thoughts for consideration;arouse more
zeal in study and,in general, awakened
greater interest in the vast subject of ed
ucation;then the labor of its preparation
has not been in vain.
