The slat* 1 superintendent can not ask for ap propriations. from - the lawmakeis unless all the f^rOT are fully given. The situation at Lodge is improv ing. With an enrollment of 92 and an average attendance of 85. th 1 school is on a better footing than it has been for years. Smoaks is one of your best rural schools. Its endoliraent of 105 shows the interest of- the peopl**, and its local tax of elghf mills shows the spirit of the taxpayers. Strickland has much -room to grow.
