LEADWOOD SCHOOL

The rumors that were afloat a few

had been placed in the list of first
class schools, we are glad to inform
our correspondent, are true. 1t has
closed it's third month, and everything
is working tremendously; and while
we are very much pleased with past
results, we are looking forward and
hoping to achieve still greater. Two
years ago we had eleven teachers and
an enrolment of between 400 and 800
pupils; now we have fourteen teach
ers and more than 600 pupils; then
we had fifteen or twenty pupils in
the high school and stood approved as
a third-class school; now we have
more than fifty pupils and stand ap-
proved as a first-class high school,
our work having been examined a few
days ago by the State Department
and found up to the required stand
ard. We want to thank all who have
helped to place the school in the front
rank and solicit their continued CO.
operation that it may be kept there.
Especially do we want to thank our
school board who has spared neither
time nor money in accomplishing this
result. We have board of business
