FIRST GRADE.
The only applicants for frat grade
certificates were John d. Mcdonald and
Thomas p. Mcdonald. who not only
passed successfully. but obtained 81 and
SO per cent. respectively 40 . general
average OF the fourteen branches in
which the examination was held. They
would have received Q much higher
per cent. but for the fact that
the examination included bookkeep-
ing which Is not taught in the
public schools OF Storey county. and
| has never before entered into Q like
| examination. The examination OF these
young men in first.grade studies was the
best AMI most interesting ever held In
Storey county, and in physiology. chem.
istry. algebra and theory n practice
each received 100. After answering the
questions the Board Of Examiners en-
deavored in q pleasant way to draw them
both out in directions extending beyond
books, and found them we'll read.

most OF the successful applicants have
been members OF the normal class OF the
Gold Hill High School.
