A gloom was cast over our schoo

pupils, little Adele Attenhoffer, VIII

teachers and children miss the pre-:
ence of this sweet little girl, for sh
was of a particularly lovable dispC
sition and was liked by all. Gu
deepest sympathy goes out to tn
bereaved parents and other relative.
We feel that this term will be yer
successful. Our classes are just tn
right size, our kindergarten is we
attended, and everything seems fay
orable to good work. We hope tina
parents who have children four O
FIVE years old will send them to GU
kindergarten. Children need thi
training to do good work in the Firs
Grade. Our best pupils in the Firs
Grade usually come from the XIII
dergarten, where number work an
even a little reading are now bein
taught.
