The public school at this place has made a
very fine average this year for the size of the

nity The patrons are very proud of the
school. as they have one of the finest buildings
In the county. Mr.. J. VIM. Sellers has been
the teacher for the present year, and We hope
to return him for the next school year, as the
pupils have progressed very nicely under his
supervision this school year, which closes on
Friday, May %.
The adjoining school district, which is
known rs Mahlon's School, near or in East
view vicinity, is very large school and has
been taught by Miss Grace NJ. Lester, for the
past two years. The patrons have unanimous
| ~ requested her 10 return next year, as she is
quite an active aud energetic teacher and has
been doing good work. While Miss Leister
has won the admiration of her pupils, we
think they would find as cordial a welcome in
Eastview school, as some Of the pupils live in
that school district and ii would eqzalize the
two schools, if each would patronize their
home school, as also in the case of Deer Park
school, which is a very large one.
