Fifth month OF Lamb school
closed Jan. 10Th with an increase
in percent of attendance, although
whooping cough and bad colds

sons the Grummons, LaFrance,
and Lamb children have been de-
tanned at home a part of the
month.
Visitors have been scarce, al
though Mr.. Sheldon gave the
pupils some appreciated and help
full suggestions in rhetoricals.
Thee highest standings were Sc
cured by grade Z in geography.
Everett Adair will be the only
candidate for diploma.
The seventh grade pupils are
intending to pass state examina-
