My statistical report has already
reached you, from which you will learn
that we have organized four new school
districts, have built three buildings,
one of which is the largest and best: in
the county. Built of cream colored
brick and with the latest! improve:
ments in heating and ventilation it. is
an, ornament to the village Of Prince.

tArbor Day was observed by all Of
our schools IN session at that time We
are growing to feel its Importance. and
value more each year: Instruction in
temperance hygiene has been .regu-:
larly, systematically and: faithfully.
given by each and all OF our teachers.
In, most cases this has to. be done oro1ly,.
for, though the parents do not oppose,
they are in many Instances, Unwilling
to: furnish the necessary books required
for its. study. ..>~;:. :.":H.-iy. = 49,
Teachers wages are creeping slowly
upward, though there is still u marked
difference in the amount paid to males
as compared to that paid to females
holding the same or: similar positions.

Looking backward over the. two
years just past we see, many things in:
which our schools have not been all
that could be desired, but. we also see
much to be. commended. :! We see faith
full, earnest: ;, TEACHERS . not. growing
weary as the months roll on but str w."
