term of the year on last Friday The

The following pupils have not been
absent or tardy during the entire year,
except in one or two instances to attend
the funeral of friends:
Alice Fuller, Ollie Sanns, stood per-
feet in each examination during the
year, Hayward Andrews, Edwin An
drews, Pinkney Wall and Mary Hut
sinpillar. There may be many others
who have not been reported by their
teachers. l see number in each of
the different grades have almost reach
ed this perfect standard of attendance.
The teachers in the different grades
have labored with unusual zeal and in
terest and the high standard of exami-
nation and attendance shows the rich
fruits of their hard labors. The Board
too have performed their labors in
prompt and business like manner.
They are placing the schools on basis
where they will soon rank among the
first in the State. Patrons, too, as
general thing, have performed their
part well. Patrons should never stop
to think how they may safely evade or
trespass the rules of the school, but
should labor with a willing spirit to
assist the school authorities in carrying
out what they may determine is for the
good of the schools. If we all labor
with one common interest to give to
every child his common birth right,
free and complete education, we may
soon see our schools clothed with
degree of perfection and utility that
will make them the pride of our city.
