JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

Miss Nellie Boundy, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Boundy, of West
Mayfield, and a member of the class of
'99, of Jermyn schools, has made a
great record for herself as well as
proven to the people of this borough
that the Jermyn schools are thorough
in their work
Miss Boundy went to the Strouds-
burg Normal School last Wednesday
and took the examination given by the
faculty of the school. She passed the
examination with great credit to her
self and was admitted to the state
Board examination. She also passed
this examination and is now admitted
to the senior class of any normal
school in the state. The student who
can finish the normal course in two
years is doing very good work, but
Miss Boundy has proven that she has
been thorough enough in her home
school to finish the course in one year.
BY her excellent work Miss Boundy
reflects honor to the local schools and
her success will be especially crafty
ing to her instructor, Prof w. l.. Rog-
ers, under whose excellent manage
ment the schools are making such rap
id advancement that the county super
intendent recently publicly stated
They were second to none in the
county"
