ing teachers. who are doing a grand and
noble work. whose names will scarcely be
known beyond the confines of their fields
of labor, but their living monuments VIII
be the boys and girls whom they have
taught and for whom they have worked.

school can attain to the highest success.
The directors are highly pleased with
all the schools this winter, and say the
the teachers are working hard, or as one
director said: I'VE have the best schools
on the average, this winter, that we have
had for five years, and | am in favor OF
paving better wages, too, especially for
the spring term. So say we all.
Fearing that we have become too noto-
rious now we pill proceed TO unload some
of the notoriety upon the other teachers
who are: c. N. Shanor, Hill; Z. l.. Eng
Iish, Hickory Corner; Z. Osterling, Dick;
and Aggie Brmnemer. Ridge.
