. Township Schools Closed
The schools of East Donegal town-
ship and Maytown are closed for the
term, and the teachers report a much
better attendance during the year
and more work accomplished by pu-
pils than for several years, which is
a good showing to the community.
The number at school and regular at-
tendances were much better as com-
pared with other years.
