The teachers are using a.l the tact and energy they possess to make their schools interesiing and efficient.— While the schools are doing as much or more thorough work, and while there is as much interest and as strong a desire to learn on the part of the pupils as was ever manifested before, yet there is a lukewarm-' ness somewhere as is shown by the monthly enrollment. There are front 50 to 75 children of school age in town who are in school, but should be there. Whoso fault is i; that they are not there? Parents, if it be yours, let the du y you owe your children in the matter of education and the de-ire to do the b»st for them within your power impel you to take a more active interest in their education.
