HONOR aoLL.

At the close OF each school year 1t
has been decided to publish the
names Of each pupil in the school
and is not tardy. The school board,
principal and teachers earnestly ask
the help and interest of the parents
in this record, as much could be
done simply by encouraging the ef-
fort in many cases.
The schools this year are proving
unusually praiseworthy under the
efficient and splendid application of
the principal and teachers.
The school board report = success
and progress not experienced for
years. 1t is certainly very crafty
ing for town of this size to be able
to boast of such schools.
