The Advanced. Room at Torch THE advanced room of the Torch school started work on the fifth day of September with an attendance of twenty-eight. At the end of the fifth month the same pupils were in attendance wno had started on the first day, which is an unusual record. The fifth and sixth grades are equally divided, there being four boys and four girls in each grade. The seventh grade is composed of five pupils, and in the eighth grade are seven candidates for promotion to the high school at Coolville. Of the twenty-eight pupils enrolled only one lives in Torch, the others either walk to school from the surrounding country, or are transported by bus. In spite of hard times, bad weather and much sickness, the attendance1 has been rather good, the per cent ranging from ninety to ninety-eight. Only one pupil has been tardy during the first five months. H—=—=M The Primary Room at Torch THE primary room of the Torch school assembled last September with an enrollment of twenty-three.

The Hockingport boys and girls tied the Torch school in the total number of points awarded. Several first places were won by Hockingport pupils. The school was pleased this year to have a music teacher for one period each week. This was the first time that they have had any special music instruction. The teacher was Miss Florine Merritt.
