They had cake and lemonade.
About a month ago a woman named
Miss Van Huron came and talked to us
about how to make the country beau

We had a night school this year for
about twenty nights. About ninety
eight people came to it. Some of them
were people who had never learned
to read and write. [)uring this time
the people learned to read, write and
work some arithmetic. They were
sorry when the twenty nights were
overl.
'T'here are 230 children in school and
18 have had perfect attendance Vo far
this year.
