From The above table II will be seen that
the whole number enrolled was AT; the
average per cent OF daily attendance, 95.4;
number of cases of hardness so. For the
6rst two months of the term, there was Q
great deal of sickness among the children,
thus eau sing tine low per cent. of attend
apce in the Primary grades. During the
last month Of the term the attendance was
much better in all the grades.
During the Spring term, the parents are
requested to keep their children out of
school as little as possible, as in that
time the work Of the year will be reviewed,
and The promotion of some will very much
depend upon the character of their review
work. We have reason to fear that some Of
the pupils are permitted to remain FROM
school for insufficient reasons; and yet,
when such return with written excuses from
their parents, nothing remains but to accept
such excuse and to work the harder for the
Advancement of the pupil.
The tuition fund for the term was
sI57.5O.
The Spring term will begin next Monday,
and every pupil is desired for enrolment
and work, the first day Of the term.
R. H. KINNIsoN, Supt
At the close of the High School on Fri
day, the following programme was given
to full house and was quite equal, if not
superior to, the average OF similar cxhibi-
tions. 1t is almost unfair to particularize
where all did so well, but we cannot re-
sist the temptation to mention the names
of few that did unusually well. 1t was
the first appearance of Tommie Brahaney
in public, but his rendering of the Reply
to Mr.. Cory" was well dones and shows
him TO have real ability in defamation.
The Grafton by Watson Lang on The
Policy of Garfield" )" was well written and
we'll delivered. Minnie Clegon recited
John Davidson, little poem descriptive
of quarrel between Scotchman and his
wife over the question whether an object
that was seen passing over the floor was a
mouse or a rat, was given in her usual
immitablc style. The discussion of the
question of the advantages of Trial
by Jury" was very ably done, showing
extensive reading and thought. The
speaker ON the negative made some
very happy hits, exhibiting both wit and
sarcasm. The recitation Little Jim" by
Emma Scott, was one of the finest speci-
mems of emotional acting we remember
to have heard by so young a person. 1t
was very hard to restrain the tears as she
pictured, with a life-like naturalness, the
mother sitting by the sick bed of her dying
boy and the supreme trial through which
he passed patiently, confidently, to the
new and higher existence, and finally the
entrance of the father to find little Jim
gone beyond recall, only his speechless,
lifeless form remaining. ASLEEP at the
Switch" a defamation by George Rust,
showed excellent appreciation and more
ease and naturalness of voice,
manner and gesture than is usual in
school-boys of any age All did so well
that it would not be difficult to find things
to commend, but our space will not per
NIT further mention. The following is
the programme:
