The class Of the siath gear began with
very meagre knowledge of what reading
should be, superficial knowledge of arith
metic, in fractions and percentage the 9th
er portions being mostly in the dark. o.
geography they knew little or nothing. They
also studied orthepy and photography
grammar, book q J, drawing and penmanshir
/ (No. 81.
They have completed the reading of the
fifth reader, arithmetic as far as partial pay
ments Except final review, and the first
three books of Bartholomew drawing.
photography, orthepy and penmanship are
to be continued. In geography they have
completed the study of North America, South
America, Europe and United States.
ibis class is composed chiefly of young la
dies, ranging from fifteen to seventeen years.
In the main this class presents an excellent
character.
There are perhaps one or two exceptions,
out If this class can be held together to the
end Of the nine years course it will be able
to make a presentation which will be an
honor to any community. Their standing is
shown below.
The class Of the 18th gear, composed of boys
and girls, began the year with unframed
minds, and, on the whole, were rather back
ward for pupils Of their age, ranging as they
did from thirteen to sixteen years. Their
studies we're: fourth reader, rudiments of
arithmetic, spelling, drawing, writing, geog-
raphy and outline in grammar
They have completed the fourth reader
work, with the elements of orthmpy, and
the rudiments of arithmetic, and are now
ready for some advanced work in the latter
branch. Their work in geography has been
the same as the sixth year. Indrawing they,
too, have completed the three first books.
Their penmanship and spelling viii be a
continuation Of the same work they have
been doing the past year.
This class is yet in condition where much |
Of the work must be done blythe parents. It
IS therefore necessary that the parents should
fully realize and faithfully discharge their
duty. If this class is properly handled they
will yet prove to be made up Of good material
Efforts have been put forth during this
year to 10 justice by the pupils in respect to
their moral, mental and physical characters,
and we here propose to give a table showing
the respective worth of each individual in
these three departments.
The moral standing is based upon the gen.
eral disposition of the pupil and his willing
ness and ability to overcome bad habits, his
final freedom from such habits, and his de-
to stand on the side of right.
Observations have been made upon the moral
characterfn the school room, on the school
grounds, and as far as possible in the streets
ana at the home.
Mental standings are based upon the
monthly record, as obtained from their class
recitation, and monthly examinations.
The physical standing is based upon the
general health and strength Of the body,
and the ability and disposition to take care
Of and properly use the body.
In this connection it might be we'll to say
have aimed especially to be honest with
The pupils.
The cause of any low standing may be
found by consulting the school records,
which are left with the clerk.
