The Snyder signal. (Snyder, Tex.) 1887-????, 1913-01-10

The fourth month OF the puphc
lschools closed last Friday and all
examinations for that month are ov-
er. The Board Of Trustees met Tues
day afternoon and heard the report
otSAhe months work and approved
all vouchers for the teachers salar-
,he. The regular molathly meeting OF
i Dc Board is the first Tuesday In each
4 fInonth. All parties having business
with the board should attend TO IL
I'M that time.
w The report shows that there fs ncw
Nrolled in the schools 500 pupils. or
: Ia number 1873 are In the High
- Sool and $50 in the grades from
{ib'nrst TO the seventh. inclusive.

honth was Sal which seems TO be
pretty good showing. The per cent
& bt attendance was SO and consider

N or and the holidays that is undoubt-
a good showing.
III The spirit Of the teachers and pn-
nils is fine. No dissensions have aris-
eSnpf any consequence and those that
have were anicabiy settled. The class
aplrit Is wholesome and the Seniors
and Juniors have a complete organi-
fExation. These classes are determined
J to conquer every difficulty and will

While the attendance has been ex-
eSetioually good yet there are few

has been my observation that there
are few pupils in every school that
Give most Of the trouble. II Is also
true that most Of the tardies and ao-
sasesa are BY the same pupils. Mos'
