Barton Academy and
Graded School
and

The school notes which the pupils
published in the Monitor last year
were source of pleasure and enjoy
ment to the many readers of the
paper. These served as a medium
between the school and the public,
recording from week to week the many
activities and phases Of school life
which were of especial interest to the
friends of the school. To bring the at
tention Of the public to the school life
in this manner is worth while and this
year We hope to continue our efforts in
this paper. AS an advertising medium
these school items are without par.
AS one person has stated it. by
the influence of the school notes
last year be was induced to send his
daughter to the ac ademy this year;
that those school notes convinced him
that Barton facademy was the sort of
school he wished his daughter to
a. tend. We thank the many friends
tn school for the interest shown in this
space last year and we hope to merit
greater interest this year.
