County School News.
BY W. w. DENNING.
Perfect attendance certificates have
been issued to the following pupils
since the last items appeared:
George Falls, Robert and Ethel
Fleming, Chas. Wilson, Mary Wirch,
Paul Hutsinpiller, Emma and Reka
Mill, Bertha Doering, Anna Brown,
Martha Kalbus, Forest and Clifford
Coleman, Myrtle and Ralph Coleman,
Carrie Falls, Chris Spiedel, Paul and
Joycelyn Kellogg.
The examination papers of the
pupils who wrote for final standings
have been carefully gone over and
certificates of completion have been
sent to, those who received the re-
quired 20 per cent or more.
Quite large number of the papers
had low standings and should midi
cate to the pupil that more careful
work in the future is needed. No
pupil should be allowed to drop
study just because he or she has re-
ceived a completion certificate. If
the subject is to be carried the re-
naming part of the school year the
pupil receiving the completion certi-
ficate should do the regular work of
the class the remaining part of the
year. 1t is source of encourage
ment to me to see and know the in
terest that boys and girls are taking
in securing the coveted certificates of
completion in the various studies. It
proves to me that they are interested
in their own advancement. 1 hope
that every school that has this year
one or more scholars who will COM
plete the common school course will
have appropriate exercises in honor
of the event.
As spring advances and things
about us take on the form of another
season, hope that the teachers and
pupils will see to it that their school
grounds are properly cared for. If
possible arrange q few flower beds,
plant tree, rake off the trash, pick
up the kidding, do away with that
ugly ashpile, pile up the loose stones,
have the windows recleaned, let the
flag of which we are SO proud be
flung to the breezes on proper
occasions, yes let US be alive to our
opportunities and awake to our re-
sponsibilities. This is grand age
that we are living in and still there is
nothing that we are willing to be
without. We can have them if we
are willing to 20 after them.

the barges and tug, which MIR Ruitin, in
view Of the damage occasioned by Me

avoid any litigation, offered To pay : 100.
which McCuen refused to accept, and
sued for the S237.
