am happy to have to state that in
most instances 100 per cent was obtained
on the foregoing questions and that
none were under so per cent. think
a very fair showing for a two months
term. don't think that the scholars
had any adequate idea of the principles
upon which these questions in figures
were worked at the commencement of
the term. If any one doubts the boys
can't do these let them catch one on
the street any day and if he be not too
busy putting on his skates or something
else he will not only work these and
others like them but he will explain
them, all of them except the last one
and the one in which 5 is added to the
fraction. There was only one boy who
did every question in arithmetic, but as
] said before none of the others was be-
low 50 per cent, and these by no mean
cover the whole groud. gone owe dur
ing the term.
A few words to the boys who have at
tended school this term: Boys, don'tuse
tobacco in aay form; don't swear; dont
deceive; don't read novels. Besides love
God and your fellows; love truth and
virtue; love your country and obey its
laws. Remember that water is the
strongest drink it is the drink of lions
and horses and Sampson never drank
snything else and he was the strongesl
man that ever lived. The man who
spends his money with the publican anc
thinks the landlords bow and how de-
you do my good fellowYp means true re
spect, is a perfect simpleton. Men de
not keepssaloons for other peoples good
If they do they certainly miss their aim
If I spend money for the good of an,
house let it be for the good of my owl
house. 1t is a bad well into which 70,
must put water. ] pity the man VIII,
has to 90 from his own house for amuse
ment and think there must be q screw
loose somewhere. Those who 60 Il
the saloon for happiness climb . tree Il
find fish. / am, yours fraternally,
