IMPROVEMENT
 OF OUR SCHOOLS
MRS. HUGKINs OF OLMSTEAD SCHOOL MAKES SUCCESS TIONS FOR LENGTHENING OF THE SCHOOL TERM.
By Mas. ]. HucKINs Of OImstead School.

l think the only way to lengthen the school term is for the people 10 take more interest ia the school We all know there can be nothing done with any success unless there is real interest taken in it. I am sure if the fathers and mothers will take an interest and do all they can for the school, we will have q good school of eight or nine months.
 There are many ways for us to bring money in to the school. We can piece and make quilts, and we can do fancy work, such as make nice dresser scarfs, and chair tidies, doilies and other nice things for the home, and sell them; and we can do all the work at spare times and can sit down and do most of the work when we are tired of working around the home. And let's all try and do our work neatly and nicely-it gives our community far better name than botched up work will, and l always thought that if anything was worth doing at all, 1t was worth do- ing right. We can also have pie suppers and box suppers and cream suppers; and turn the proceeds in to the school. I think it would be a good idea to have a meeting of the men of this community, so that they can understand what we are trying 10 do. Then we could ali take real interest and pull together and noi be afraid we will do more than some one else. Let us gladly do all we can and help each other and be as working bees mot as drones- and have good school and educate our children. Education is one of the grandest things we can give them.
