grade, longer term by uniting the
funds and running the full nine
months each year and let all begin at
once to concentrate on the high school

We have just touched briefly on
some of the things that has been ac-
conplishcd during the past few
months and in our opinion one Of the
main reasons for this progress is

teachers and surely we mean no re-
Election or criticism Of the school and
It's teachers in previous years for we
have for many years had IL good
school but it is often said there is
