School SURVEY Shows
MANY Good results

A survey OF the work accomplished
by the primary grades Of the elemen-
tary schools during the past term has
Just been completed by Clifford Scott,
superintendent OF the schools. The
survey includes work in arithmetic,
spelling. reading and language. and
shows that work has been done by
the pupils and teachers.
In spite Of the inadequacy OF equip
ment, and total absence OF many de-
sirable things for the enrichment Of
the work. the teachers have shown
their ability TO rise to a crisis and
have never done better work: Super
intendent Scott feels that great credit
is due the principals and teachers for
their excellent services to the city.
Every effort has been made to keep
the schools abreast the best educa-
tional thought and the work in the
primary grades during the past FIVE
months indicates that this city is not
falling below the standard
A comparison OF the work OF chill
dren who have entered the schools
here from other cities. has resulted
favorably for the work done by the
scholars OF the local schools. Every
effort is being made to remove causes
which have in any way impeded a
child's progress with the result that
there are comparatively few backward
children.
/ The report calls particular atten-
ton to the earnestness and jealous
ness on the part OF principals and
teachers and to the spirit that exists
in all the schools.

REQUIRED FOR HEALTH
AND BEAUTY,

II is surprising that It is necessary
to repeat again and again that the
health and beauty of the skin require
that the blood shall be pure. If the
arteries Of the skin receive impure
blood. pimples and blotches appear,
and the individual suffers from hu-
mors. Powders and other external
applications are sometimes used for
these affections. but will never have
the desired effect while the causes Of
impure blood remain
The indications are very clear that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the most sue
cessful medicine for purifying the
blood. removing pimples and blotches
and giving health and beauty to the
skin. II gives tone TO all the or
gans and builds up the whole sys-
