A very noticeable fact in regard to
| the District No. 4 school is that where
| there were 80 scholars six or seven
| years ago there are now only about II.
| One of the reasons for this is that for
| fnerly students were satisfied to pur-
sue the higher studies i'm the common
school and to receive instruction dur
/ ing odd moments that the teacher
| could spare from the common school
| studies. Frequently scholars who liked
| their school work would attend the
| common school until they were IS or
20 years old. Now they have the privi-
| lege of attending the Gardiner High
school and have their tuition paid, and
quite number are awaiting themselves
| of it. And as it is a great deal easier
to prepare for the High school in a
graded school where the work is espe-
| c1ally prepared for this purpose, most
scholars who intend to pursue the
higher branches prefer to attend the
grammar schools either in Gardiner or
| Randolph even though they have to
pay tuition there. Those attending the
| Gardiner High school at present from
| District No. 4 are: Ada Troop. Annie
Moody. Lena Bookings. Earl Fossett
| and Harold Fossett. Those attending
the Grammar school are: Fred Rollins.
