REPORT OF TEACHER
As will be seen from the enrollment, there are forty-six pupils
registered in both rooms--twenty-two in the first and twenty-four
in the second. Of these, eight are in the upper grade, five being
in the last section.
With the execption of the irregularity of three or four pupils
trdiness is the worst fault of the school. It gives the teachers
more annoyance than all else combined.
But little difficulty has been experienced in having pupils
procure proper books, except that arising from the inoperatievness
of the late school law.
In general, the parents seem to realize that the future happiness
of their children depends largely upon their educational attainments;
that the public school is the first if not the only means
by which these advantages are secured; that this is not an
eleemosynary institution, but is supported by their money:
hence, naturally, they are deeply interest in the progress made.

REPORT OF TEACHER
The average daily attendance for the term was forty out of
a total of forty-eight. Owing to the crowded condition of the
school the advancement was not as marked as it would have
been under different circumstances, yet the pupils and patrons
all manifested an interest in the school. An addition will be
built to the building this summer which will insure better
results the coming term.

REPORT OF TEACHER
The above report is made out to the very best of my ability.
The students are not regular in the prescribed course. Procuring
books is the trouble. I did all that I could and believe the
parents did what they could to get books. Grant district failed
to provide a depository and the adjacent districts refused to
sell books.
Only one family has troubled me with tardiness and thess
pupils have not been in school this month. One man has faild
to send his children at all. Here are two cases in which we ned
a compulsory law.
Yours truly,
W. H. McMillan

REPORT OF TEACHER
The school lacks the help that parents can give. Not intereste
enough on the part of patrons. When they can be led to see
it, probably Mt. Clare will be better off as a school district. Of
course we find some families here that take a great interest in the
school work, but a magority of them are careless about it. The
attendance is not good in any of the three rooms, but we do not
think it is any fault of the teachers. We hope, as theachers, to
see an awakening of the people of this place to the better interest
of the welfare of their children.

REPORT OF TEACHER
This report is as nearly correct as I can make it> Some are
not classified as well as they could be on account of not having
sufficient books. There are always some parents that do not
take enough interest in school to firnish their children books so
that a teacher can clasify his pupils. Wire Run has a few
patrons that takes a great interest in trying to cultivate their
children's mental capacity, while there are few who cares no
more for school than some one that never heard of such an institution.
