Joy. They never worry about hold

We have heard a complaint late
ly that 81 certain teacher does not
get to school on time-that is by at
least s 80. A teachers contract
reads, "For such service we'll and
faithfully rendered the said -
shall receive $-dollars etc" Ar
irving atnine, five minutes to nine,
ten minutes to nine, beginning
work with the schooIhouse cold, or
leaving the fire to be built by the
pupils who come first, is not "ser-
vice well and faithfully rendered"
Seven OF the nineteen pupils Of
Running Water school were neither
tardy nor absent the past month.
