Supt. Lamson has just finished checking over the reports for the firs': month of school. He finds that the enrollment of the rural schools of the entire county is 1844. The enrollment of Union township, 294, is the largest, while that of Milroy township, 75, is the smallest. He has figured the per cent -of .attendance In each school of the county and finds the banner school of the county is the primary room at DeMotte with an average of 99.8 per cent. The banner township of the county is Gillam with an average of 97.4 per cent. The banner school in each township is as follows: -- School Teacher per cent att Barkley, Zelda Daugherty 99.2 Carpenter, Maud Rader 98.2 Gillam, Guy Reed 99.3 Hanging Grove, R. C. McDonald.. 98.2 Jordan, George Sage t 97.5 Kankakee, Nellie Stalbaum 98.2 Keener, Charity Fairchild 99.$ Marion, Grace Wtorland .. 99.7 Milroy, Feddie Byroad 99.6 Newton, LaVera Lee 97.9 Union, Floy Williams 98.5 Walker, Dolly Hershman... 99.5 Wheatfield, Grace Poole .m. 98.4 He intends each month during the year to make reports of the banner school of the county, of the banner school of each township and of the banner township tn the county.'
