REPORT OF TEACHER.
The parents, with the pupils, seem to show interest in the
school. I had no trouble in securing necessary books. I had
some tardiness and also some absence but the latter was on
account of sickness.
I will promote a class of six from this room into the upper grade
this year.

REPORT OF TEACHER
The patrons of this School manifest some interest in the
school work here but not as much as they should. The officers
visit us some times but fail to show their interest by way of advice,
Suggestions, etc., yet they seem destrous to see the work
going on all right. In regard to securing the proper books mot
of my pupils complied with my requirements. There seems to be
a good deal if tardiness here and in my opion it has been cultivated, rither than discourage. Otherwise my pupils are very obedient.

REPORT OF TEACHER
Mr. J. E. Law, Dear Sir -- I would say in regard to books, that in
the beginning of the school we had scarcely any books at all, but
the patrons became interested and bought some books, but not as
many as were needed. The board made no arrangement for a depository.
Tardiness and Absence were the sources of some confusion
and trouble.

The school is in good condition and with a gew exceptions
the pupils are very studious. We had some trouble in securing
the necessary text-books, because no one kept them near here.
The patrons have manifested a lively interest in the school
work in the way of preventing absence and tardiness, but very
few patrons visit the school.

REPORT OF TEACHER
Some of the patrons manifest great interest in the school, but
do not visit the school as much as they should. I had very little
trouble in getting the pupils to secure the books they needed
The margority of the pupils attend regularly. A few are very
irregular and I found the trouble to be carelessness on the part of
their parents. Tardiness was a very rare thing. Quite a number
of patrons have moved out of the sub-district, leaving the school
small.

advancement of the pupils was not what it would have been under
more favorable circumstances.

REPORT OF TEACHER
In Submitting this report permit me to say that I have
the hearty support both of trustees and patrons. I have
good working material, but the progress of the school has
been somewhat retarded on account of irregular attendance. In
making up the different grades in this report, I must day that
most of th pupils are behand in some of the sections. For wat
of proper text books it has been impossible for me to conduct my
pupils through the grades as prescribed in the manual. This is
partly owing to the fact, that the most important books of the
series prescribed by the last Legislature have not been contracted
for, and the patrons and school officers preferred to await
the action of present Legislature before buying new books.
The patrons and school officers instructed me to do the best I
could with the old books, until the question of text books should
be settled. The present school law is a very unsatisfactory (?)
to the people, and it is earnestly hoped that the Legislature, now
in session, will repeal the objectionable features and give us a
series of good text books.
