Dear Mr.. Babbage Having reached

through your valuable columns, to con-
vey few thoughts to my friends. II
has been a good many years since I
have spent as long time IN the county
and have never enjoyed visit more
thoroughly than did this one. There
were some sad things. Some of the old
friends are gone. DR.. Newsom, John

made my visits. The men of their
generation are not many now. A. r.

business that he was in when left Clo-

school; give us the attendance and your
support and we will see that you have
school that any district would be
proud Of.
Heretofofe-the practice of a number
of scholars being excused at t1:30 in
the morning for the purpose of carry
ing dinners, etc his been source OF
great annoyance to the whole school,
and besides it makes 1t almost impos-
sible for those so excused to keep up
with their grades and to overcome
this, the board has decijed on the fol-
lowing hours for opening aud dismiss
ing:
Opening S:30a. M; noon recess, l1:3O

Especial attention is called to Sec.

district during each term. Heretofore
this district has not had sufficient room
to enforce this law, but this year hav-
ing ample room. the board will be liza
BILE to ine if they do not enforce; and
each parent or guardian is also liable
for each offence in case they fail to
send their children in accordance to
the law under the above section.
The Board hopes to not have to. en-
force in siugle case, but with this
warning, any parent or guardian hav-
