Coal Harbor Schools Closed.

SV0I 004UVA SS1VVlS N1VSSWs
It is with pride that the Coal
harbor Public school calls atten-
ton to the closing Of a very sue
cessful year last Friday. The
school opened last fall with an
attendance Of twenty-three, which
was increased to fifty during the
winter, making it necessary to
secure an additional teacher. The
attendance this year shows an In
crease Of one hundred per cent
over that Of last year.
Our entire eighth grade complet-
ed the required branches and will
receive diplomas. All grades were
c~reditably promoted and we feel
that the standard aimed at and
acquiredsis commendable.
