Organization of Ladies Begins Plans for New School Building to be
 Erected During Year.

Erected During Year.
 The year is half past into history, and we feel that much has been done along the line of ad vancement, but still much remains to be done in the next four months, all of which we shall endeavor to do. The mid-year examinations are over and the pupils have taken their places and have entered upon the work with zeal ana spirit that is to be commended, and we are trying to create in all our pu- pills that spirit of work that laughs at difficulties and wrenches victory out of defeat, and we are much pleased at the progress that some of our pupils are making. Some of them who made low grades be- fore have raised them this time more than thirty points, and we feel sure that when the next ex- animation comes on, they will again lift their standard. ' am sure that many of our pupils are learning how to study, one of the hardest of all arts.
 The discipline of the school has been firm and yet mild, and ln the main all have responded to what is right. l am trying to bring out of your children those things which stand for high and noble and true manhood and womanhood, and so I am anxious that all ot you may cooperate with me in this one effort, and when we have succeed ed in bringing your child up to the point where he will do thing be- cause he knows that thing to be right, then, and only then, can we feel that we have in any sense done our duty.
 The ladies have organized them selves into a School Improvement Association, from which we are expecting great things. Already they have begun to plan for raising funds for beautifying the rooms and halls of our new building which we are to have by next fall, and new life has been infused into both teachers and pupils and all are try ing to make our present quarters look as attractive as we can under the present conditions, and by this means we are trying to cultivate an eye for the beautiful and lift the ideals ot our young people. We desire that you come to see us often and give us your encour- agement and help. Many visitors have seen our work this month and we were more than pleased, to have them with us, and we hope that when the next month has passed, we shall be able to report many more. Let all these come and bring someone with them.
 Our roll is growing constantly, and at this time we have ill the white school 5o7, and in the color ed school I5S, making total ot 755 in both. We feel that this Is a good report and from this number we have had 27 tardies, by grades as follows: Ist, 2nd, 5th, 9th, 9th and 10th. The weather has been bad and caused many of our pupils to be tardy when otherwise they would not be. Look after this mat ter and see If we cannot lessen this number of tardies.
