Mrs. $. NJ. Gates has decided
to teach a summer school for
primary pupils--first to sixth
grade. So many children have
lost time, owing to measles and
other sickness, as to make it
necessary that they should do
a little extra work in order to
secure their promotion to more
advanced grades. Mrs. Gates
will strive to render mos. faith
full service in the training of
children entrusted to her care.
and will be glad to confer with
any one who may desire to in.
quire concerning the work.
Her school will open Mon.
