No. of boys enrolled, l2s.
No. of girls los.
Total No. 285.

Average attendance, 20S.
1t gives us pleasure to state that the month
of November closes with a most gratifying
evidence OF the continued success of our
school banking system. We are now in cor
~respondence with some of the leading educa-
tors in the state. who are inquiring
into its workings. We have also re-
ceived a letter from the cashier of the Neb-
raska Savings Bank, Lincoln, who desires a
report of our system here, thinking to extend
the usefulness of the childrens' department
of his bank, by securing the cooperation of
the Board of Education, and connec the city
schools with that department. Rev. Joel S.
Kelsey, who is the sponsor of the system in
the west, and who takes a commendable in
terest in its advancement, has received mum
erous letters of inquiry, and has issued a Cir
cular setting forth it's salient points. The fol-
lowing report will doubtless be of interest to
the public:
