School Improvement Association.

The last meeting of the School lm- proyement Association for the schol- aStic year was held at the Institute on Wednesday, May l The attend ance was very good and much interest manifested in the work
 While we have not accomplished what Me Nmd wish, We feel that some good has been done Individual drinking cups and running water has been substituted in the place of buck t1s. A room has been set apart and furnished with shelves. table, rugs, etc, for a library. A great many books have been donated to the same.
 The pictures of the presidents of the United States. gift from Mrs. John Gatling, have been framed and hung in the building We need more pictures.
 The playgroeuds have been raised several inches by filling in with dirt. This k | great improvement and was badly needed especially when it rains
 The members have endeaYored to look after children out of school and find cut if the cause Were books. etc, giving help if possible
 Several trees have been planted and some topped; flower bed made and plants set out and seed soWn 10 grow.
 \ basket ball team mof which Ne are very proud has been organized and trained by Miss Bridewell These are some ot the things we have accom- plished. One thing Ne very much de- sired was to get | vacuum cleaner to dispense with the terrible dust that is 50 hurtful, but We failed in this.
 We need more members: dues are only twenty-five cents a year, and surely every citizen, whether parent CT not Sliould be interested enough to belong to this association.
 We trust the coming year to have a much larger membership, and to ac- compIish greater things, so this sum- mer, while we are on our vacations. let us get all the new ideas that We can, and come in the fall to help in this work. X Member.
