Buena Vista Letter.

has been collected in the Buena Vista |
Consolidated school district, the trans
portation wagons have been paid for,
and all charges for transportation have
been paid to date.
The transportation service is so pop
ular that the School Board found it
necessary to buy the fifth wagon. This
new wagon runs on the High Bridge
route, but takes the dirt road at the
old Lindendale School House and fol-
lows it to Mrs. Evans gate. Mr.. John
H. Mayes drives this wagon for the
sum of $35, per month.
When the new wagon was put on
this route it became necessary to call
in the contract of Joseph Hamilton
who had contracted to haul all children
in the Lindendale district, but whose
wagon would not hold more than two
thirds of the children. This route was
relet. and Homer Jennings offered the
lowest bid. The trustees contracted
with him to haul the children along the
main pike from High Bridge to the
school building for S39. 95 per month.
We now have fourth teacher Miss
Myrtle Ruble, who has been with US
since Christmas,
The new partition put in by Mr.. Geo.
Smith of Lancaster is piece of work
to be admired. The schools on either
side of it are not bothered by noise,
then it is easily pushed upward throw
ing the two rooms together for chapel
services.
We have had trouble with the heat
ing plant, but it is now doing nicely.
Mr.. Haselden has finished his work on
the system by connecting the furnace
with the cistern, and placing a force
pump in the basement.
We are looking forward with pleasure
to February 2. 1914. At that time the
Rowands are to be with US. They
come to US on their way to Texas in
service of their Bureau. 1t is only by
accident that we get them for 20 per
cent of the gross receipts since the
bureau prices them at $85. per night.
Mr.. Rowand Is to deliver his wonder
full lecture, Blowing Bubbles" as
sisted by his wife who is a Cartoonist
and illustrates the lecture.
We are organizing the boys of Buena
Vista into corn club, and hope to be
able to offer some nice cash prizes for
the best corn grown by any boy, and
the greatest number of bushels per
acre. One of our good men has start
ed the movement off by offering to give
SIS. toward the prize money. We will not
be willing to stop short of SIS. for each
first prize with liberal second prizes.
We have just received thirty five
new books for the school library. This
makes our library number over 100
volumes. All of our books may be
drawn by the children or the people of
the community except about twenty
volumes of reference works which are
to be used in the school room only.
No children were ever more eager to
learn than the children of Buena Vista.
Many of them read two volumes per
week outside of school.
We do not let outside reading or any
thing interfere with our daily recita-
tons which we consider the thing of
greatest value offered by any school.
Most of the preparation for recitation
is done at home. We do not have but
very few pupils who make 10 out
side preparation.
We are sending roll of honor with
this letter. We consider pupils worthy
of promotion provided they stand 70 or
above in all of the branches required
in their grade, and pupils who stand
80 or above worthy of honor.
