Report Of South Heart School for Term
Ending March %, 1888.

Number of days school was taught,
II; enrolment, 10; average daily at
tendance, IA; visitors, including school
officers, %. The average attendance
is very satisfactory considering the
severity of the weather and the dis
lance many of the pupils had to come.
George Taft and Charlie Gilmore,
aged respectively 8 and 9 years, merit
a great deal of praise. They live
more than a mile distant and have
been present nearly every day. Many
men would not chance the storms
which these two boys have ventured
through that they might be at school.
The advancement the pupils have
made and their department are very
gratifying.
The success of a school is due, in IL
great measure, to the interest taken
by it's patrons. If the people through
out the territory would take as much
interest in the welfare of the schools,
as the people of South Heart have
shown, the result would be manifest
i'll the advancement and department
of those in attendance. l desire,
through the columns of the PRESS, tn
express my appreciation of the inter
est taken in the school by the citizens
of South Heart. In closing the school
/ have the satisfaction of knowing
that my labor has been fruitful and
that the fruit is fully estimated.
