All though we are in the country and most of our parents are compelled to depend on agricultural work for their livelihood, they have enough energy and enough respect for their children to keep them in school while they are needed at home At the beginning of the coming term We are expecting new auditorium with all the conven- fences of modern opera house.
 Some of our boys will soon be away for the universities when summer comes, but will be with us again next fall.

Besides the strong, solid literary work, there IS much interest in athletics, good course in art, and probably another year we will have music. Two of our teachers will take a postgraduate course during the summer, and every. thing will be in readiness for real work by another term, with we'll built, well-seated, well-lighted and well-heated schoolhouse. If you wish to do we'll, investigate our school.
