Under the present efficient man.
agement, the Scooba Graded School
is rapidly forging to the front, and
the lack of houses to accommodate
parties who would like to settle in
the town, with a main idea to the
education of their children, is the
only thing hat prevents q much
larger enrolment of students. The
young ladies in charge of the school
deserve great praise for their efforts
to promote the welfare of their
charges, and they should receive
every possible aid and encourage
ment from the Board of Trustees
and the general public. We have a
school Of which We have every rea-
son to be proud-let all help 1t up,
hot discourage the workers.

portunity for those engaged in dali
rying to get some instruction free as

science about informing him of the
fact-he'll give them a chance.
