Mary Z. Brown, the second, third and four, b
years
At the head of the bay school there are 50
pupils in the first, second and third years under
Miss Ida g. Hensleigh.
HIGH SCHOOL.
The High school suffers with the higher gram.
mar grades from the fact that SO few pupils
especially among the boys, are willing to forego
for the sake OF study small amounts of money
they might earn by working. So it happens
that in all three classes there are but 126 pupils;
20 in the first year, A in the second, and IL in
the last. They range In age from about II to IL.
The school is at present accommodated in the
top floor Of the Central school, which was orig.
inally fitted up to be large hail. The arrange
ments are, in consequence, inadequate for good
class work, for there are not enough class
rooms for the work. But is hoped that . regu.
lar High school building may soon be erected
whose superior advantages will attract more
pupils.
In the first or Junior year the course of study
includes beginning Latin, algebra, bookkeep.
ing. civil government, English composition,
music. physical geography, rhetoric and zoo-
oay.
The second or middle year takes up Latin
Caesar and Cicero. beginning German. elocu-
ton, English literature. general history, plane
and solid geometry, music, physics and rhetoric
In the third year the subjects taken up are
Latin Virgil and Sallust, German, q review of
arithmetic. botany. chemistry. siocutioa, En-.
clish literature, geology, logic, political econ.
omy and trigonometry.
Latin is not compulsory in any of the years,
and il can be seen that the scientific courses are
unusually strong.
The principal of the school Ia Professor John
w, Heston, who is not only highly educated
