Supt. Tindal is making his round of
visits to the schools. He reports i'm
prOVements along good many lines
since last year. Houses have been re-
paired, Vestibules or cloak rooms ad-
ded, new furniture, slate blackboards,
cases and other appliances have been
procured, all contributing much to the
comfort and convenience of pupils and
teachers. The rooms in most cases
have been painted inside as well as
out, and this with the adornment made
by the teachers, makes them look quite
attractive. The attendance is larger
and more interested in their studies.

learning more about the art of keeping
pupils engaged in busy work in their
seats.-DeIdUdrean.
