l. The labratory Ia greatly In noed
Of new instruments, one OF tho mvst
necessary Of which is n microscope.
This is OF the greatest tise in studying
Botany, Physiology and Philosophy. as
1t makes them all much more intercst-
ing aud instructive tu tho students.
Our Superintendent has received cat.
alugue OF Instruments for high schools,
sent by one Of thr leading firms in thc
country. and II offers very fine GLASS
with all necessary flxturs, for about
$40. As this ia a very liberal offer, we
hope that the Board Of Education will
avail themselves OF this opportunity. AMI
purchase the instrument for the sctiuo.
II. The walks in the school yard are
in very bad condition, so bad. in fact,
that they are almost beyond repairing.
There is nothing which makes school
yard look so poverty stricken and for
aaken as poor fence or walk, and we
are waiting patiently for new walks to
be put down.
III. The Lawn Tennis Club has hud
but little opportunity to use their court
in the school yard, as the weather has
not been suitable. IL the court is level.
ed little more, next spring, II will be n
source Of gisat amusement for the
pupils, rs well as an improvement to tile
town.
Nv. The water in the school house
well has given out entirely, so that the
pupils are forced TO drink cistern water
It would be d good plan 10 have the
well cleaned now.
| V, The roll call for department every
evening should be discontinued, as il
leads to untruthfulnc Can not the
instructor find some other methed tc
stop disorder in the room?
vi. The monthly rhetorical. exer
cises of division "A took place last Fri
day afternoon. Prof. Dick had assigned
but one subject to the whole division
"What Constitutes Good Essay p sc
that now each member of that division
ut least, should bc able to write one o
the best of essays.
But the professor intends TO have O
different style of rhetorical work for tn,
next division, which promises to be very
interesting. The full program will b,
given next week.
VII. The Junior Class, which con.
petes for the Way Scholarship, woulc
be pleased to know whether or not tn
members of the class who take til,
English course are allowed to compet
for the prize. As a person must hav
two Of the languages in order to ente
any college, it would he nearly impos
sible for literary scholar to finish
, college course in four years, and it seem
. hardly fair to place those who hav
| spent only three years in the Hig
Z. School, on the same footing as thos
: who have taken either the Lai in or GeI
man course.
VIII. In the examinations held 3 eel
ago. the average grades High & Gramma
Schools were as follows: 7th grade g.
Z sth grade SO, Freshman Class, dig
SchooD 81, Sophomore 90, Junior "a an
' Senior 02. The fact that our scho,
}. took the bronze medal should incite ou
pupils, and especially the 7th grade an
Freshmen, to harder work. As the r.
% guired grade is 10, we see tlrat the Fresl
J. man class Is rather low in its standing.
8 TX. If the Board OF Education coul
experience the difficulty which class
have while trying to recite while anOt
er class is crossing the room. we q
certain that our room would immed
Q ately be supplied with new mating.
such thing should take place, IL
Il board would have the thanks Of teacl
II eTs and pupil-.
