The Harper Advocate Harper County Thursday September 29, 1928 Pleasant Valley Item. The little red school house, which has been converted into the big red school house, is the abiding place of twenty-one studious pupils this school term. The teachers and pupils are very much pleased with the new equipment, which is almost equal to that of city schools. An invitation is extended to the patrons of the school to come and visit our school at any time throughout the coming year. The girls in the advanced grades, not willing to be outdone by the boys, have decided to learn the art of manual training. From circumstantial evidence it appears as tho the boys will go to some to keep ahead of them. The girls in the primary room are still clinging to their feminine characteristics and are learning the art of needlecraft.
