There was a big turn out at the annual
school meeting of district No. -1 ( 1 e v II
laue district) u hicli was held on Ti es ay
afternoon at the school hall. Indeed t e
meet ng was much the largest one he ,1
hero in many jea.s, and about n dozen la
dles attended and voted. The large at
endance was called out by a widespread
eeling of unrest and a hankering in cer
tain (i.iarters lor a change in tlie manage
ment of the school. For several weeks
past school matters have been very gener
ally and very earnestly discussed, so It bad
been expected thatMie meeting would be
an exciting, it not a revolutionary one. But
it was a very quiet one and. In spite of the
large at eudaiice, passed nir as tamely as
could have h-en desired. The followlngolll
cers were chosen : moderator.C. M Wilds

committee said, among other things, that
tlie school had been eminently successful
and had maiuta ned Its high character
during the past year, and that t lie teachers
were doing good and conscious work
