will be given in this column each
week till the schools close in the
spring. The teachers of the Co.
are asked to send an account of
the progress niade in their re-

.Jie may report it to the paper not
later than Monday of each week.
There is now a campaign on
again*=it dust in the school-rooms.
The Supt. is furnishing to the
schools floor oil at 20c a gallon.
It requires from two to four gal
lons to the rooms. This is a
cheap method of doing a;way.
with niost of the dust which is;
both dirty and dangerous. The
schools that have aiready used
the oil are Green, Glenwood,
Brown’s chapel, Highland and
others will use it soon.'
$30 libraries were ordered just
before the holidays for G-Ienwood
and the Fairground schools
For each of these schools, the
