The High School Numbsr&
During the week Secretary Charles Reisrar
was notified by the Chairman of the High
School COMMITTEE, after a conference of this
committee, that only the card numbers by
which the pupils were known at the final e1-
animation last week were TO be given out for
publication, which report will be published
either Tuesday or Wednesday morning, SO
the ultimatum of the High School Commit
Jisrl,- -nh Ia
obtaining information about the eX-
animation which they always OBJ
tanned in the newspapers. While from
his number a pupil may learn whether he
has passed or not yet the general informa-
tiOn desired by families, High School classes,
schools and public in general will be miss
ing on account OF absence of names. The
new move is considered by many as sop to
the present system of examination for en-
trance to High School. This abolishing OF
the publication of names is a breaking up of
q custom established in 1872. which Prof. j.
NJ. Logan and Prof. W. r. Ford started and
report says they remained up the greater
part of the night preparing the list Tor the
newspapers.
The principals all seem we'll satisfied that
only the numbers of the pupils are to be
published as they think the publication Of
work and pressure in the schools because
each school wishes to make the best report
possible to the public. The wishes of the
children by this reasoning are not consid-
elders like to see their successful names in
print. and everybody knows that the names
Of those who failed are never published.
