hold and work on any tests given
them. Double Branch, Peru and
Pleasant Valley No. 2 have all sent in
their work in fine condition. II is
really pleasure to know we have
such pupils.
No. 4 in Mt Pleasant township re-
sponded well to all work and are very
willing workers. Miss Anna Shouse
is teaching this school and has her
pupils taking a good interest in their
work. Her primary pupils are doing
excellent work. We left some work
for the pupils here, and they were
busily engaged on il when we started
for the next school.
Over at Wilcox Miss Verna Chap
man is teacher. She is an Adrian
High School pupil and Summer
School at Warrensburg last summer.
She is a good instructor and her pupils
seem to be taking good interest in the
work.
At Tygard school we had concluded
to leave without giving any work at
all but so anxious were they to work
that we had to remain longer in order
to furnish a little test. They work
with good will, and we are going to
visit them right soon again just be-
cause they like to work so WELL
They all take pride in making their
school the very best possible and
when conditions are as they are in
this school it is not necessary to say
they have good school. Miss Resale
Fisher, of Butler, is teacher and ev-
cry pupil thinks they have the best
teacher in the county and would re-
sent any thing to the contrary.

ship, the reception was very cold
one on the part of the stove. They
use a coal stove but better a cold
stove. However, the pupils n d
teacher are alright and made up for
the coldness of the stove, but really
We believe that the board should see
if they can help them with the stove.
The girls of this school know how to
pop corn and then how to divide up
with friends and visitors. This school
has long been, noted for its good and
Industrious pupils and the present
ones are keeping the record up to the
highest point. Miss Loe Reese is
teacher and is to be commended for
her good work and the manner in
which she interests her pupils.
AT No. 5 in Mt Pleasant township
they have seven pupils enrolled. 1t
is a very difficult matter to arouse
much interest in the classes in such
school as this. The teacher, Miss
Carrie Palm, is doing her best with
the work and is succeeding as well as
most any one could under such cir
cumstances. She has some very sat-
isfactory work in the primary grades.
AT Rocky Point in Mound township
the pupils were SO willing to work
that we did not get away until very
nearly five O'Clock. They believe in
trying their very best on any and all
school work. Miss Dixie Sharp is
teaching the school and making an ef-
fort to grade the school but owing to
the condition in which she found it
the task is rather a difficult one.
Miss Sharp is making a decided i'm
provement in the condition of affairs.
Adrian school is doing fine with
Prof. Hoover as principal and Prot.
D. C. Clements, Miss Lucy Dowell,
Miss Fannie Woolery, Miss Nora
Woods, Prof. Herman Crow, Mrs. C.
C. Woods and Miss Eula Shelton as
assistants. They have an enrolment
Of $50 in all. They have one Of the
brightest and best primary rooms in
the county. This is one Of the new
rooms built this year, and the board
allowed their primary teacher, Miss
Shelton, to have say in the planning |
Of the room. Prof. Hoover has a |
large and interesting class Of prospec-
tive teachers taking the reading circle
work. The board of this school has |
arranged for visiting the school in a
systematic way. Every citizen you
meet in the town is interested in the
