Each pupil in the first eight
grades of the Colvlle school is at
present interested more than usual
in helping toe hold high the per
centage of attendance for his room
or grade. The special incentive is
picture purchased recently with
the following plan in view: The
room having the highest per centage
of attendance one month will have
the pleasure of retaining the picture
for the succeeding month. The
picture is splendid hand-tinted
imperial print of the mill by REM
brandt, medium size and appropriat-
ly framed. The children may thus
learn to appreciate and enjoy real
are while they and the school funds
may be benefited by improvement in
attendance. During the month of
February, grade V of which Miss
Adele Carlin is teacher, had the
highest percentage, 99.79; so are en-
joying the picture during the pres
ent school month. Pupils and
teachers are eager to know the out
come of the contest for the ensuing
