SUGGESTIONS FROM THE PRINCI-
PAL.
President Andrew addressed the
board offering a number of sug-
gestions, one of which was that a
strong effort be maize toward instiht-
ing the much-talked-of school at Dob
binsville and that his idea was that
the people wanted IL and the schools
are much crowded at that end, and
that mass-meeting called at an early
| date would certainly agree to pay a
I higher tax for the maintenance of
such additional school facilities. lie
understood perfectly that the board
was unable to make the necessary ex-
/ penditure now.
Professor Andrew further recon-
mended that an annual examination
be held before the closing of schools
in each year and that the teachers
passing such examination be provided
with graded certificates for two OF
three years. The examination should
be practically the same that a county
superintendent would give.
The teachers meetings are provinl
very profitable and are being held
twice a month on Tuesday evenings
