appetites would be well whetted by
the time we arrived there and anoth-
er Of the splendid dinners that the
people Of the rural schools are al
ways capable of putting out was be-

niupity, and the patrons held an all
day meeting there, worked the
school grounds, planted number Of
trees and installed other school
ground equipment, which made the
Hardy school grounds look good. and
the interest they manifest is such
that will keep that school right up
