ance, 40. Reviewed pupils in most of their

the present teacher as well as predecessors.

] maintaining continually a good school in the
borough. Also visited the following schools
on Armenia Mountain : Pierce, Simon Tiuklc-
I patigh; Ripley, Marion Teeter. Mr Tinkle
paugh has 25 registered and 19 in attendance,
