For years the people of the district
nave been demanding schools second to |
none III the state, and their wish is be-
ing gratified. We have some of the |
best teachers to be found anywhere,
while the course of studies Is far ad-
vanced of many of the schools. And
while they are superior to number of
the larger towns, still they are being
improved each year, and still greater
Improvement is expected for next term.
The teachers are always sorry to see a
student leave school and do all in their

student leaves that room he or she is pre- |
pared to make an honorable living with |
the education he or she received therein. |
