pressive. The unexpected things are
always hardest TO receive, but let
them pause in their bereavement to
be thankful that this young man left
a clean record, had lived a good life,
TO the friends this is a consoling fact
The boy scouts paid their last tribute
70 their little friend whom they all
loved so much. Eighteen automobiles
accompanied the deceased TO Alma,
where interment was made.
On account of the increased num-
Der of pupils, it has been necessary
to divide the school, that each one
may receive the time and attention
that they should have in order to ac-
complish the best results. The pri-
mary grades, are to be transferred
to the Cleaner hall, which has already
been rented for that purpose. The
higher grades will remain at the
school house. II will be necessary TO
employ two teachers for the coming
year, but the increase appropriation
will not be regretted if the pupils are
better fitted to enter the high school.
Thorough training means a firm basis
for an aducation.
