Journall We, as teachers. have
faithfully, conscientiously perform
ed our part OF said contract, an0
we look % the pa,.ons 10 discharge
theirs promptly, so t,nere may be no
unsettled business at the close of
the term. We published, that each

charged entire t1itioiis ttu its close
We do not revoke this obligation.
Some have DISCONTINUED without
warning. They, of course, expect
to conc up to the s,rict Letter OF The
contract 1t is no harm 10 give
this gentle reminder.
The present term has been a most
iii .eresting one indeed. | have

minis,raio1. II Las been q most
prof. able one. The pupils have
been soudious, orderly and polite,

means to make the school q success
hence | am fee to e,.o:ess to !he
patrons my hearty appreciation Of
their fidelity to The interests of tie
college in continuing 20 the last,
their liberal patronage. 1t is very
discou.'aging to teachers for the pu-
pills to discontinue, as we come near
to the examination occasion. There
is ever q desie oh The pert of the
teachers TO see the result of theic
work-and II The children are alb
sent on examination day, it is 10
the teacher greater disappoint-
ment than one is apt to imagine.
Another reason, kild readers,
why teachers desire q full attend
ance till the close is, as class, they
want to give value received. They
asc happier in this, tlan to have 10
demand the money as per contract.
