They have an enrolment of twenty
four and an average daily attendance
of twenty-one for the term with but
few tardy marks. Miss Juanita Reese,
of Rich Hill, is teaching this school
and is doing good work. Her pupils
are willing and ready to do any work
given them. They were preparing
for a Christmas entertainment and
were intending to have tree.
Down at Seelinger school in Prairie
they were a little in doubt about
what we said concerning Montgomery
school, some time since their school
being known to some by that name.
This school is known as Seelinger
here in the office and will be spoken
of as Seelinger. They are doing good
work here and are going to try in the
next spelling contest. Miss Elizabeth
Fix is teacher and finds but little
trouble lin following the course OF
study and keeping her work up to
the standard in every particular. Her
reports are always in good form and
promptly sent in. The pupils are
willing to work and Anna Finkling,
Lena Finkling, Lillian Montgomery,
Lizzie Stevener Minnie Stevener and
Edward Schapler have sent in all
work left for them to do.
AT Mission Branch they were pre-
pairing for an entertainment to be
given Thursday afternoon. This is
one of the small schools of the county
but their attendance is good. Miss
Ella Aims, of Rich Hill, is teacher
and is trying to follow her course OF
study as closely as the conditions OF
her school will permit. Jessie Seel-
niger, Agnes Garrison and Edith
Bailey of this school have sent in
their work and it is all correct.
Down at Papinsville we had left
some work when there the first time
to have ready for us the second time
and we are pleased to say that they
were ready with it and anxious for
more. We gave them more work
and Wesley Snider, Boyd Hyde, Aus
tin Burch and Vergie Lockwood have
sent in all that was left for them and
it is entirely satisfactory. Miss Ethel
Grant is teacher and is doing all that
could be done to make the school
complete success. That she is doing
good work goes without questioning
