the fact that the educational work just

During the past year Ardmore has
spent something like 100000 on her
public schools OF this amount s3G
100 has gone for two new school build

Fourth wards. $4,000 has gone for

spent in other work pertaining to the
school system.
During the year 1880 pupils have
been enrolled and the average daily
attendance has at 40 time been be-.

The expenditure Of this amount of
money has given Ardmorc one of the
best public school systems in the
