His femurs bent round the crankshaft:
His face rolled flat a bank draft.
His sternUm ammed through the floor Of his chin
His hips had climbed up where his should have been:

Rural School Report for February

The poor attendance during the
month in muny of the schools has
been caused by illness and the very
bad weather. Following is a report Of
the schools standing tirst and second
in each town: Ashford, Warrenville
- percent; Woods 81 percent Canler.
bury, Raymond 81 percent; North So
eiety So percent. Eastfofd, General
Lyon 80 percent; Center IS percent.
Hampton, Guion 80 percent; Apaquag
81 percent. Thompson, North Grosve
nordale Grammar 95 5 percent; Paine
95l percent. Woodstock, South
Grammar 1913 percent; South Primary
944 percent.
South Woodstock grammar, Miss
Eleanor johnson, teacher, had The best
attendance, 1913 percent aud General
Lyon Eastford Miss Hazel sherman,
teacher, had second BEST attendance,
30 percent.
Eight schools fell below 20 percent,
eight between 20 aud 50, twenty one
between 50 ana So. fourteen between
80 and ~, and nine above 95 percent.
Many splendid suggestions were
made this month by the teachers for
The Identifying OF the school grounds
this spring and it is hoped that some
of the suggestions will be carried out.
The cooperation of the people in the
different districts will be great help
in this practical part of our school
work. We are confident from the
hearty way in which the parents and
friends have responded before that our
confidence will not be misplaced this
time.
Four of the teachers in Woodstock
Mrs. Hammond, Miss Eleanor John
son, Miss Louise Howard and NJ s
Rilla Child. have held school in the
evening for one night to give the m n
a chance TO visit the schools and in
every instance there has been a good
response. When the days are longer
and The weather better 1t Is hoped that
more teachers will try the experiment.
Many Of the teachers are serving
warm lunches to the pupils at noon
time. The pupils and people take a
very active interest In this part Of the
work and in all cases 1t Is meeting
with favor. The pupils not only en-
joy 1t but the lunch is eaten In q way
to administer TO the health Of the chill
dren and it has done away with the
"eat and run" schedule. Teachers
who are not doing something along
this line are missing one of their OPP
portunities.
At the Woodstock teachers meeting
lessons were taught before the teachers
by Miss Nelson and Hiss Brown. At
the Thompson meeting a lesson was
taught by Miss Delaney. In every
case these lessons have been excellent
and all present have derived much
benefit from the demonstrations.
Respectfully submitted,
