An Enterprising School District

District No. 2, of Northfield, closed the winter term last Friday.
This school has been under the teaching of Miss Mae Cavanaugh and the excellent record she has made speaks well for her teaching.

The school carried off the first prize for the best trimmed and decorated wagon at the county fair last fall, and the pupils also won five first prizes in the educational exhibit, which speaks well for their work as, it was their first entrance into such contests.
During the past year the scholars and teacher with the assistance of the members of the district who held them by attending the socials and entertainments arranged, raised money enough to purchase a library of 106 volumes.
Such a thing is almost, if not an absolute necessity in every school, but very few district schools are lucky enough to possess one. Every district, however. should have one to enable the pupils to supplement their school work by outside reading and to develop a liking for good literature.

Feb 14, St. Valentine's day, the school raised money enough to purchase a new organ. The organ was delivered a few weeks before the close of school.

Of course. much of the credit for the work must be given to the scholars and the members of the district, but most of it is due to the careful, painstaking efforts of Miss Cavanaugh, who has been untiring in her labors for the best interests of the school. The district now has a school that it should certainly feel proud of.
