SCHOOL NOTES

Last week completed the first month of school. The average daily attendance was 16S and total enrolment 194. For the first month last year the average daily attendance was 149 and the enroll ment ITO. This shows decided increase in both attendance and en- rollment, which proves that the school is making an excellent start this year.
 Those that were neither tardy nor absent during the month were given one hour on Friday as part holi- day for their faithfulness. The list included nearly the entire school, leaving only one or two pupils in some of the rooms.
 Each Monday at 9 o'clock the children are assembled in the audi torium for special opening exercises of school. Next Monday there will be music and speaking by the chil- dren, and visitors are welcome.
 We are sorry to state that many of the children are out this week on account of sickness.
 The basket ball games, held every Tuesday and Thursday, are well at tended by the larger girls and boys, who take much interest in the game.
 Several patrons have visited the school during the past week and eX- press themselves as well pleased with the progress made.
 Every citizen should aid the school authorities in getting every child in regular attendance.
