MaIbon's Mills School

The many friends of the school will
| be interested to learn something of
the work Of the School Improvement
League which was organized Il year
| ago. The object of the league as the
| name suggests, is to improve the
school both in its equipment and in
the surroundings and in order for the
! am to be realized a certain amount
Of funds is necessary. From enter
tainments of various kinds the money
has been raised. and the schoolhouse
is. as should be, becoming COM
munity center. The league secretary
gives the following report of the fin
| ancial standing:
Received from entertainments
and dues ........ s9G..3
Paid for school bell E. 1886
Nictrola and records .... $500
Wiring for electric lights $500
lncidentals: curtain
sorim, towe ng, OIL
cloth. curtain rods. nails
CretonNe. flags. woouh,X.
soap, use Of lights, etc. 1a.0.
Total expended . $3.50
Cash on hand .... $3.50
lie lcdSue' meetings are llelu every
second Friday afternoon after recess.
The officers are chosen by vote of
the members. and this teaches them
executive ability. A small member
ship fee is charged which Is used to-
ward paying for the use OF the electric
lights each month. Almost as soon
as the league was organized each
member received School Improve
ment League certificates from the
stat Dept, also the league button,
making the members feel that they
arc not only thriving organization
in SkOwhegan. but part OF the great
state movement for better. pleasant
er. happier and more cooperative
schools.
The hot noon lunch is also a help
full factor in successful school work
and is carried on almost entirely by
the pupils, who are glad to do any
duty which will prove them to be
loyal and helpful league members
The teacher and pupils wish to
| thank the parents. and the friends Of
the school for their generous assist
ance in everything the league has
| undertaken, for without the hearty
cooperation of the school and the
community the best results in school
| work cannot be attained.
Miss Helen Hafey of Cornville. a
,, most efficient instructor, is the teach =
er at this school.
