Montvale dis trict, in which this school is located, has the unique distinction of being the only district in the county having the compul sory school attendance law. This law is not perfect, but it helps. Montvale is also the youngest district in the county, being No. 56. Over a year ago arieight mill special school tax was voted, and as a result the state has offered the school an extra month this year, mak ing a seven-month term instead of six, as it has had heretofore. The accept ance or refusal of this offer is left with the trustees of the district. Christmas the teachers, pupils and friends of the school held a box supper and the proceeds, about $50, has been expended in equipping the school build ing with hyloplate blackboards, crayon, window shades, dictisnary, flag, etc. Nearly a hundred pupils have been enrolled this session and the attendance has been excellent. Two teachers are employed by the school.
