SCHOOL NOTES
BY O. W. RoTR. Principal

Auc iontHiy mcetlnR VI Inc EfueTt
Literary society was held last Friday
evening in the auditorium. A we'll
arranged program was rendered which
was greatly enjoyed by those present.
The next meeting OF the society is to be
held Friday, December 8. Everyone is
cordially invited.to come and spend
pleasant evening.
Saturday evening, Mr.. Karcher of
of f-hand tricks that was a high class en-
tertainment. Owing to inclement weather
the crowd was not as large as had peen
hoped for.
1t has been said by leading educators
that tue schools of any CONN unity are
as good as the community wishes them
to be, and that to n great extent the
school reflects the spirit fostered IN that
community.
With this thought in mind, let US see
what We are accomplishing.
Last year the enrolment was approx
mately 81, this year it is 81. An increase
of 32 per cent. Last year two teachers
we're employed, this year there are three,
an increase of 80 per cent in teaching
efficiency. Last year there were eight
grades (standard) and an additional
grade attempting with grade work; one
teacher having four grades and the other
TEACHER having live grades. The aver
age enrolment per grade being slightly
over six pupils. This year there are
nine grades (standard), each teacher hav-
ing three grades with an average enroll
ment of nine pupils. Considering the
time element, equipment, and organiza-
ton, our schools have improved fully 10
per cent.
This year there is not boy or girl in
our district who is not coming under the
influence of our local institution; and it
is our opinion that their conduct and
their attainments will stand well in com
parison with that Of the boys and girls
of any community. There are enrolled
in the schools nine pupils who are resi-
dents of other districts.
These things are the results of the
united efforts of the residents and tax
payers Of this district and they are re-
suits that cannot be measured by doll
ars and cents.
But the question arises, shall we be
entirely satisfied with these results?
Have we solved all the problems that
confront us? What opportunities can
we yet provide for these boys and girls
when they have completed the grades
we are providing? Must some of these
boys and girls take up the labors and
duties OF life without being given fur
ther educational opportunities when
they wish for them? Must the residents
OF this and adjoining districts send their
children away from home to be given
these opportunities? Must the family
ties be broken up or must the farmer
sell his farm and move to the city to
send his children to high school?
Let US utilize the columns OF our press
as an Open Forum for the discussion Of
these problems. Let us unite IN body.
mind and spirit to confront these prob
lens manfully and Nomanly: and in the
end let us unite our effort to accomplish
an end well worthy OF life-to leave an
educational heritage to our children
which can never be despoiled
