SCHOOL EXHIBITION IN MONTVILLE.

Mrs. Frank S. Hall of North Searsmont
closed her second term of school in what is
locally known as the Kingdom Precinct
with a public exhibition Friday evening,
Nov. 1st, at which sufficient money was
obtained to buy Webster's Dictionary for
the school. 1t has long been the custom to
change teachers every term, and the result
was the inevitable failure. Mrs. Hall was
engaged at the opening of the year and she
is expected to teach the closing term. 1t
took the greater part of the first term to get
started in the right direction. There was
some opposition on the part of a few of the
parents at first, but now there is a stronger
home influence for the good of the school
than has been manifested for years, and
parents, pupils and teachers are working
together harmoniously
The first innovation was cleanliness, and
a wash basin and towels were procured.
This was followed by curtains to the blank
staring windows. Then the blackened and
image-drawn walls were covered with pref
ty wall paper, and a new quartered oak Ii
brary table was obtained from the Larkin
good pictures adorn the walls so that at the
present time the once desolate room has the
attractivenesS Of a comfortable home.
During the term just closed the pupils
made unusual advancement in their various
studies, as shown by the maps, sewing cards
and essays on exhibition. We are looking
forward to greater things for the next term.
