There is no good reason why this school should not become, atnndard another yoar. Beautiful wall maps of Oregon, six feet long nnd five feet wide, have been prepared h die State Hoard of Forestry in sueii numbers that ever; school In the stat" can be supplied Tho Malheur County maps are In the School Superintendent's oilier now. They are so large that postage on them would he rather expensive nnd we are asking I hut they he called for by Home one In the district who may be In Vale within the next few weeks In this way but n few maps will have lo lie mailed. Miss Edith I reddle of Nyssa, a girl who Is tenchlng the Kchave school near McDermltt, writes that her school can soon become standard Not an American family sends child ren to this school, yet the people there have a good school house, i I equipment, eight months of school and are serving warm lunches for the children. This school should be an Inspiration to some other schools In the county. Miss Jmahelle Mallett Is teaching tho Warren school this year. She has 28 pupils enrolled. The pupils in District No. 71 near Brogan, have an honor roll. So far Lewis (ilascock Is the only pupil who has met all the requirements of per fect attendance John Anders and Stella orihlngton have made very good records and will doubtless try for places on tho roll in the near future. School Is progressing very nicely In District No. 71. Miss Forbes Is teaching her second term in the school. A second term speaks well for both the teacher and the resi dents of the district. Enrollment In the Arcadia school has reached 44. Eighth and ninth grade classes are conducted. A copy of the Oregon Blue Hook and the 1915 Oregon Almanac will be sent to each school upon request of the teacher. These hooks contain u great deal of Information and are splendid reference works.
