The following superintendent notes concerning the following
schools, we clip from the Standard:
[abstracted article]
Ind. dist. of Hardin, Mr. A.M. TUTTLE, principle; Mrs. N.A.
TUTTLE, assistant. The Hardin school is my ideal of a school in
every respect. It is but simple justice to Mr. TUTTLE to any that
he is an able, thorough and faithful teacher.
School No. 9, Post tp, Mr. W.W. EATON, teacher. The school is
good and comfortable, but yet unfinished with maps.
Postville school, Mrs. M.E. MARSTON, principle. Miss Jennie
HOOKER, intermediate teacher; Miss S.A. PIXLER, primary teacher.
I am inclined to the belief that all things are working well
there.
