tofore held at the close of the term are
abolished; also, what may be termed the
medal system, or the giving, by order OF the
Board of Trustees, a first honor represented
in each school by a gold or silver medal. No
mode of distinguishing meritoriOus pupils

as diplomas, but now denominated lunder
the head OF regular priZes) as certificates,
which are awarded for attendance, depOrt-
ment, scholarship, drawing. penmanship and
vocal music. The certificates for drawing.
penmanship and vocal music are given for
the greatest improvement during the year,
while those for grammar. arithmetic,
geography, history, natural philosophy
and algebra are awarded upon the
standing of the pupil on the school record
as evidenced by the result Of p written ex-
animation. held this month. Although the
existing school regulations and the last
official bulletin of the trustees do not recOg

award of first honor medals. but that the cost
shall not he charge against the school fund.

accurate and complete lists of meritoriOus
pupils will show that in some schools NJ
prize other than the certificates are awariet
and that in other schools OF the same rank
the first honor medal has been, or will be,
presented.
