commence and close by local time which is
twenty-eight minutes faster than standard
time. Sessions will begin at o o'clock a. m;
minutes.
Several important changes have been
made that will materially add to the COM
fort and to the progress of the school.
During previous years, the pupils of the
high school have recited in the basement,
and In small rooms on the first, second and
third floors. This has caused large amount
of going up and down long flights of stairs
greatly to the injury of the general health
of the pupils as well as detrimental to order
and proper discipline. BY division of the
west room on the third floor, we now have
three recitation rooms on that floor for
school purposes. These with the main
room will provide for the four teachers en-
ployed in that department. Hereafter,
there will be no going down stairs to
recite except to such work as the Superin-
|
now located on the second floor, over the
main entrance.
| The Commercial department will be in
charge of an experienced teacher, who will
give instruction in shorthand and penman-
ship, as well as i'm actual business practice.
One recitation room will be provided with.
tables, desk for banking purposes, and
system of school currency for the purpose
of transacting commercial operations. Pu-
pills will buy and sell representative goods,
dealing with cash, note, check, draft and
various forms of commercial paper, making
their transactions through the medium of
the school bank, and keeping full account
of all in set of blank books, thereby max
ing the subject of bookkeeping as nearly
like actual business as possible.
The study of philosophy will be pursued
of apparatus has been provided; and in
making the purchase, especial care was TAX
EN- to get the latest improvements in that
line of goods, including the latest develop
This change from the old to the new was
made possible by the fire last spring and
the insurance obtained from the same.
The old Office will now be known as the
Library. The bookcases will be removed
to that room as it will afford a better chance
to care for the books, and be far more con-
venent for their distribution.
AS soon as the second floor of THE TINES
new building is completed, the ungraded
school and the mixed grade of boys from
fifth and sixth grades central school, will
find their department in that building.
This is made necessary by the Overcrowded
condition of grades>a at the central school.
These new rooms will be pleasant and will
be as good as any and far better than some
that are now provided for school purposes.
The mixed grade will be accommodated in
one of the high school recitation rooms un-
til the new room is completed. The ungrad-
ed school will not be organized until the
completion of the new rooms.
This ungraded school will be an excellent
feature of the public school system.
The work will be carefully superintended
and conducted. Pupils will be given all
proper facilities for advancement in studies,
and they will be promoted to the regular
grades whenever they can do the work.
This school will be the proper place for
those who are not up in all of the studies
of one grade, owing to having been out for
sickness, work, or otherwise. This depart
ment will afford many pupils an excellent
chance to make good start and prepare
for regular work in the grades, who would
otherwise become discouraged because of
inability to do regular work.
1t is very important that pupils attend
the proper grades in the ward wherein they
reside as all rooms are taxed to their full
seating capacity. Pupils from the third
ward will be accommodated at the other
| buildings, the distribution being made in
accordance with the seating capacity.
The fifth grade pupils in the fourth ward
| will now find their work at the school build
| ing in that ward. The Union chapel will
be provided with seats for first grade pupils.
| 1t is very important that all pupils be in
| attendance at the beginning of the fall term.
Glasses are then formed and the work be-
gun, and those who come later often find it
difficult, if not impossible, to do the work of
the class in which they might have started.
Three of our courses of study admit pu-
pills to certain courses in the University
without examination there.
Nonresident pupils will find superior adj
vantages in our city schools.
