We have noticed h change in the In­ terest of school affairs at Nunda, and •re pleased to give the following: The buildings have been treated to new floods, n«w seats in one room, nsatly painted and calciinined, new base bur- oerj'stoves In , each room, outbuildings In good condition, and, in fact, it ap­ pears the "School Board" have taken a step in the rieht direction.

Sheldon as Principal and Miss Lizzie Martin Assis tant, with 80 in attendance, which was soon swelled to 100 when a primary de­ partment was added with Miss Frankie Wells, Teacher.

The result showed that many ordinary words are mispronounced by teachers as well as scholars. Remarks were made upon the same subject by Messrs. Young, Sheldon, Estee and 11. R. Bald­ win. The idea was suggested that pro­ nouncing down In school would result In much good, and would be preferable to the old method of spelling down. Miss Cumins, H. R. Baldwin and L. E.
