wood County.

Dist. No. ", in North Hero, has one
of the neatest, most Inviting school
rooms in the county. The school
board is to be congratulated on its in
terest shown. The pupils show on
the record book the most regular at
tendance of forty schools compared
with it. The teacher and pupils are
workers.
School Dist. No. 8, in Vesta, burns
hard coal at night to save building q
fire in the mornings, while District 66
in Underwood burns hard coal day
and night.
We notice with pleasure the dispo-
sition on the part of school boards to
put into the school rooms, stone slate
blackboards. When once done it for
ever puts at rest the question OF black
boards for the schools.
The Redwood County Teachers
Reading Circle now numbers eighty
five members. Fifty-six belong to
the North Side section and twenty
nine to the South side. The Circle IS
in very prosperous condition. Many
of the members will have much to re-
member in after years-the result OF
Reading Circle culture. To number
it's but an introduction to good itera-
ture.
District No. Sc, Underwood, has
whitened it's walls, put in a new stove
and supplied its pupils with free text
books. 1t was among the first to pro-
vide music chart for it's pupils. The
teacher, Miss Sarah Stewart, isn't
asleep either. The reading work re-
Gently seen there was excellent. 1t
ought to have library for such inter-
ested pupils.
There's hard working corps of
teachers at Delhi and an interested
lot of boys and girls digging after
nuggets of knowledge. The rooms
ought to be more beautified. Just to
put touch of home into the hearts
of the pupils. Delhi has free text
books. Teaches music regularly and
maintains an excellent school.
District No. IL, Sheridan, has one
of the busiest teachers. Mr.. Geo.
Schilling has an enrolment of fifty
bright boys and girls who seemingly
are hungry after bright jewels where
with to enrich the human mind. The
school room is crowded and the trust
ees will need to provide more space
by tearing away useless platform
and putting in extra seats. We saw
while visiting there recently what one
likes to see, excellent government, re-
spectful and very studious children.
District No. IA, New Avon, thr Mer-
riam School, Edward Pentony teacher,
is crowded this winter. Mr.. Pentony
is worker, and what's more, his pu-
pills know it and they have caught his
spirit. The school room needs beau
tifying and the walls and wood work
newly painted. Such things do help
pupils in after years.
Our schools in many instances are
so crowded that our school trustees
could assist the condition somewhat
if the stoves we're surrounded by
zinc or tin jacket. The pupils near
the stove are too warm and uncom-
Portable, while pupils in remote cor
ners are too cold. Such jacketed
stoves add to the ventilation of the

Bessie ChO11ar.

Whereas, Almighty God in his infinite
wisdom has seen fit to call to her heavenly
home our beloved classmate, Elizabeth
Lavilla ChOllar, be it resolved
That we, the members of the Glass of 1895
of Pillsbury Academy, feel in her death the

was an honor to our class and to our Alma

That we extend to the bereaved family our
heartfelt sympathy in this their sorrow;
That copy of these resolutions be sent to
