The farm has proved a great asset
to the maintenance of this struggling

board and this furnishes the needed
cash on which to operate, since the

table supplies.

obligations in payment on the farm,

do so has kept him scheming. A pay

make ends meet every economy is
practiced. For instance, to save on
coal bills for heating the school in
winter, wood from the swamp has
been cut and seasoned for use.
