(By q. c. Barb. Dist. Supt.)
We have thirty teachers; Lun-

2 and 10 in single rooms. The con-
ditions at Dola and Lumberport
were such that the board employed
two extra teachers TO take charge
of the primary pupils. The rooms
are not suitable or desirable as to
location, but conditions are better
for school work.
The enrolment and attendance
were good at the beginning of the
term. later sickness reduced regu-
lar attendance; conditions have i'm
proved and the pupils are again in
school. We hope this will continue
throughout the remainder Of the
term, so that we will be able to
classify all pupils to the best ad-
vantage for next years work.
There We're no violations OF the
compulsory school law until the last
lew weeks. Our board Is determined
to have all eligible pupils in school.
1t will stand by and uphold the
teachers when necessarily called up
on. a large per cent of the teachers
are loyal in the school aud institute

few of the teachers do not see the
necessity OF discussing important
principles in the teaching profession.
therefore they absent themselves
