WELL MERIrED PRAISE TO OUR DIS
 TRICT SCHOOL.
 At the school meeting held last Sat- urday evening in the schoolhouse at the station, Walter Daily was unani- mously reelected committee and John | Bews clerk. Farmer Daly has served l in this capacity for several years and has proved himself an able, efficient and interested committee and the dis trict is to be congratulated that such Isabella Mckay, our senior teacher, has taught here for the last three years and the school has greatly im- proved under her competent manage ment. During this time very hand some bookcase and large dictionary have been added to the school. We hope Miss Mckay will continue her good work, but it seems that she has not decided yet. Miss Helena Good sell, our sunny tempered primary teacher, has succeeded admirably dur teaching the large foreign element in the school the English language. The children are anxiously looking forward to seeing Miss Goodsell again in her old place in September, but both teachers seem to find it difficult to choose between love and their duty to the district. Several entertainments were given by the teachers and schOl- ars to raise funds for the school and they deserve much credit. We under stand that there is a fund of S15 In the treasury toward a piano. Owing to the contagious diseases and the intervention of Providence the school has not run it's full term of 12 weeks. Very sad events occurred in the deaths of little Addis Shelton and Agnes Whalen, who left to join the ranks on high. Since the cOmbina.
 tion of Miss Mckay, Miss Goodsell and
 Farmer Daly has been so successful we hope it will continue for the ensu- ing year.-[A Mother.
