of absence. But the lot of the pupils who
attend the schools nearer in or those upon

who go to the outlying schools. At many
of these, the Martin. for instance, In the

or the Clay. on the road to Independence,
the pupils have to walk from half to three
quarters OF a mile. In the face of the

Of pluck to go to school.
Al some of the school houses, consequent

had to be put into cold water and then
rubbed and held In the teachers warm ones
until the numbness disappeared. There
were frostbitten ears that could not feel
which soon began TO burn and sting with
the heat Of the room. And there were
many a pair of feet that felt like clubs
inside of shoes that failed to keep them
warm. II was hard day for the pupils

According to the observations of several
of the teachers in the ward schools, girls
stand the cold weather better than boys
do. On cold days all pupils are compelled
