in the talk and the enthusiasm

A vote of thanks was given
the trustees and patrons for the
great Improvements in, on and

building itself seeming almost
like a new one-Such an incen-

gently as any scientific farmer
the value of legumes to the soil,
rotation of crops, intensified
farming, and nearly every sub

of reference. books, without
which no school can be truly
progressive, was emphasized,
general information being fea-

school work.
Smaller details Of Importance
in the progress of the school
were discussed and a little out

the year was given. Note book
work in nearly every subject is
to be worked out. Note books
in drawing, sewing, cooking and
