GENTLEMEN OF THE SCHOOL BOARD:
10 ,he Members of the School Board.
Of your committee 10 examine classes
in mathematics in the High school, the
chairman only reported for d Ne
submit the following:
The senior class was called for ge0me-
try. Seven were present. The class
had passed over the first five books.
The work was placed on the board in
good shape, the figures were correctly
drawn and the demonstrations were
prompt. A full and clear statement Of
the proposition was not always proper
ly made, some of the connecting links
in the course of demonstration were
dropped out.
The middle class came up with 'sSci-
ence of Arithmetic" The pupils evil
IDENTIFY are more familiar with the art
than the science. The class manifested
degree of readiness in Percentage and
commission, but with It confusion that
ness Of conception.
The junior class gave Us algebra. Their
work on the board was neat and gener-
ally correct. 4 few of the class seem
deficient IN multiplication: The explain
atoms in equation were ready, but not
full.
The first grade responded to arith-
metic. The examinations were in inter-
terest and discount. In computing in
terest the class was mostly confined TO
one method. Some of this class are
very prompt in work, while others de-
yelope no dispatch whatever.
In the main we were much pleased
with the department of mathematics in
the High school.
Respectfully submitted,

heard While one division was at the
board, or being examined, the other was
quietly at work preparing a letter OF
something of interest to be presented al
its regular turn. No time was lost
The pupils have surely done good work,
for they rapidly responded to questions
on review, and were nearly always
right. The order was nearer perfect
than have ever before observed in q
school room.
During the afternoon the regular ex-
eTcises were interspersed with songs and
declamations-ln the latter Misses Platt

ured, and was glad to note the interest
these little ladies took in the same.
was especially pleased to mark the at
tentlon the entire school gave to these
recitations, and came away feeling that
the school year had been profitable
one-reffecting credit upon Miss Riggs
to whose earnest endeavors much of the
success is due. Very truly yours,
