MONTHLY REPORT OF SCHOOL
Improvement Shown Along Near
 ly All Lines.
Work of the Teachers Reading Circle Out lined-Other Matters of Educa-
 tiLnal Interest

We have closed the fifth month of the school year, aud while our attendance has not been so good as we desired to have it, still we have many other things for which we feel truly proud.
 I. The spirit which pervades the student body grows better as the weeks pass and we feel that real manhood and womanhood is being developed and that when the duties and responsibilities come upon them in active life they will be able to meet them.
 ?. The grade of work being done by the students is much i'm proved and the interest in the work is increasing. The society work is much better than 1t has ever been and we feel sure that this will soon be one of the strong est features of the school.
 5. Our report on tardies this month is very good. Out of GOO students, with two chances each day for being tardy, we had only twelve during the month, as fol- lows: Two in the first grade, two in the second, seven in the fourth, and one in the sixth. Never be- fore have we had such report with as few tardies and we hope that during the month of March we may have even less and we can if you see that your child starts from home in time to get here.
 4. The good women who have charge of the school improvement association are doing much to en- courage us by coming to the school often and taking up some ques- tions that have much to do with our advancement and we feel that every woman in town that has any children should join this associa- ton and lend helping hand to this great work of making better schools and better advantages. These women will give soon pie ture exhibit and in connection will have other attractions from which they hope to get money enough to beautify the building and to pro- vide a fund for the purchase of books and other things so much needed in the school. This will be given about April I, and in the meantime let everyone talk 1t and advertise it until everyone shall know about 1t and have a desire to come. s. s. WATERS, Supt.
 Teachers Reading Circle
 The committee appointed by Prof. T. F. Forrest to outline the reading to be done this year met Saturday and submitted the fol- lowing: For March read Hal leck's psychology, chapters I, 2 and B tor April, chapters 4, 5 and 6; for May, chapters z, s and 9; for June, chapters 10, II, I2 and I3. All the teachers are expected to read this book through before the June institute and the renewal ot all licenses will be conditioned on the careful reading of the book as stated.
 The teachers who are thinking of taking this work and joining the circle are requested to meet in the high school room at 2:3o o'clock Saturday, March 7. May we not have a large number pres ent and organize with fine outlook for a splendid years work? Let everyone decide that he will do his best to come and bring some one else, and we shall have good time and each encourage the other.
