Island PondHigh School.

Mr.. EDITOR; The following report
of The High School may be of interest
to some of your readers, will you there
fore give it place in your columns?
The length of the term in school
days was 49,. Whole number of schol-
ars in attendance 40, ranging in ages
from 10 to 81 years. Largest single
days attendance was 34K; smallest 90
Seven scholars were present every day
during the term, viz: Chester King,
Edward Lyon, Arthur Mansur, Agnes
Hall, Alice Hill, Mabel Mansur and
Katie Richardson. Several others were
present each day while in school, and
several lost but or 3 days. A record
of each scholars department and schol-
arship has been kept, and each week
nature. To Agnes Hall belongs the
first rank in department, to Katie
Richardson the first in scholarship.
Improvement in scholarship is shared
nearly equally among Bridget Flaher-
ty, Katie Gill and Alice Hill, while in
general improvement Charles Vallee
among the boys, and Hannah Wood
bury among the girls, have done the
best. The element of r0acdyi8m and
deOj!tJy, q know of no better words by
which to characterize it, which has
| heretofore existed, was for the most
part wanting, and most of the scholars
lhave studied well in school, and sue
ceeded pretty we'll. However, as the
Superintendent says, "there is room
for Improvement No doubt every
one wishes to see improvement, but in
order to have it, parents must do their
| part. Scholars who are Old enough,
aad there are but few in the High
School who are not, should be made
| to study at home evenings. Boys and
girls who romp around the streets at
night, and are up till after midnight
at dances and the like, are not fit for
study the next day. Parents must
take an interest in their children
What shall we say when NOT ONE
PARENT visits the school during the
term, and when bat ONE PARENT re-
spends to the invitation for 6 al H.
terej'ed TO attend the examination ut
the close of the term? Yet such WAS
the case during the term gone by. and
if parents and friends win not d. their
part, can we blame the scholars for
not doing theirs? A thoughtful con
sideration of these things, and an act
i've interest on the part Of parents and
friends will do much toward bringing
about the desired end. Shall we not
have it?

Sunday the 18th inst was an inter
esting day 10 the Congregational peo-
pie Of this place. 1t was observed as
Children's Day. The church was made
beautiful by large and tastefuIly ar
ranged collection of plants and flow
ers, and twelve birds hung IL different
parts Of the house. The centre, of the
floral decorations was an evergreen
cross, seven feet high, in front Of which
stood a large rose-colored hydrangea,
in full bloom. From the centre, to the
right and left, a bank Of plants and
flowers arose about two. thirds the
heighth of the cross, and then sloped
down to the front corners of the Tos-
trum. Near the front of the rostrum,
over the middle, large evergreen
wreath was suspended in which was a
sweet singing bird. The words Praise
Him." in gilt letters were on the front
Of the wreath. The morning service
was devoted to the children, of whom
there were a large number present.

better prepared for the work in hand
than any other American author.
Accredited by our government in his
tour and residence in Russia and ST.
IBERIA, his great work on Nihilism and
Exile Life in Siberia gave him a stand
ing in the highest literary and official
circles in this country as Il writer at

turesQue. This has given him unsur-
passed facilities for procuring all the
material for the work now in hand.
As a book Of fascinating interest, beau

of comprehensiyeness of fact, it will
commend itself TO eccry 0oter.
To the book agent this rare combi-
nation Of authentic history, pictorial
illustration and brilliant authorship,
