by Miss Marge KnoWlton, of Ken
meth, Minnesota, who comes highly
recommended for the place. In this
room, children who on account of
family conditions, moving from place
to place, illnesses, ETC., have not been
able to make a grade a year, receive
special instruction in the major stud

make up two or three grades in one
year, and thus join their rightful
