school Reports.

Report of the Gordon school for
fourth month, ending March 81:
Enrolment, "a per cent. of daily
attendance for the month, 90 for
the term, 50 there were five not
absent during the term. This clos
ed the pleasant exercises Of my
school at No. IL, Lyon district, be-
ing my third term at this place, and
az did not get to see each patron
personally and knowing them to be
readers Of your paper, I wish to re-
turn my thanks through it's columns
to both pupils rnd patrons for the
respect and many kindnesses shown
me during the term. Without hes
itation / must say that the school lie
without a peer for morals and man
nerB, which Of course bespeaks q
proper degree Of home culture not
met with in too many Of our country
schools. Nor are the pupils Of this
school without ability in other di-
rectioDs, but rather susceptible Of
the highest mental attainments, and
parents you will realize no better
returns for your pains than by af-
fording your children spacious OPP
portunities for the requirement Of a
wealth that will endure. They
have the vim and desire to do and
be something in the world more than
mere mediocre, and all they need
is a chance. Any teacher wishing
a desirable school for next winter,
one where the trustees and patrons
know just how to treat him, and
what part Of the business belongs to
them, need not hesitate 70 apply for
this school.
