is due Mr. K. O. Looker for the

attractive.
As to equipment, you will find
a good stove, library case with t
necessary books, a case of maps.

Miss Marion Kulkerson of Sea
side, Oregon, is leaching her fifth
term in this school. Al ter Miss l-'ul-kerson
had taught one or two
terms, it was found difficult for
her to secure a boarding place.
Again the patrons got together and
talked things over; the result was .
that a nice cottage wus built for
the teacher ami in this cottage wus
placed a complete line of house
keeping furniture.
During the present summer n
good well has been dug and a
pump installed. As a climax to a
school ground, a good fence has
been built inclosing the entire
grounds. J hope, you will pardon
me, Mr. Editor, for being so en
thusiastic about this school, but
when you think of this district not
voting bonds ami contracting a lot
of debts, and yet accomplishing
what they are doing, you will have
like views with me.
They have a normal trained
teacher paying her $imuui per
month and furnishing her a bouse
to live in. Only six or eight pupils,
but their scholarship will rank
with any school in the county.
Tho sad part of iny story is that
Miss Kulkerson is resigning to ac
cept a position in t ho Sea-side
schools near her home. A II who
have become acquainted with Miss
Kiilkci son's work will huvo the
kindest remembrances of her and
will wish her success in her new
field of labor.
The sehool board at Fox Hill has
selected another very capable nor
mal trained teacher to finish out
the term.
If you want to know what real
co-operation and self denial will do
for a school, just visit Kox Hill
school.
