Friday, Dec 1st. most interesting school meeting was held at Grange Hall. = gs1 principle causes contributed to gather 2nly small audience.

Both causes were unavoid. able, and there were less than forty present, of whom about half were the children so the parents and taxpayers were poorly represented. The speakers were very interesting, especially MT. Geo. Woodruff on the war question. Miss Ives and Miss Johnson had two interesting classes: one fourth grade arithmetic, the other first grade read. ing, Perhaps there is no greater change in schools than the methods now used in teaching tho little beginners and those used twenty-five years ago espec- ially in the rural schools.
