Miss Mel iarmid will spend her vaca-

During the last week quite a consid-
cradle quantity OF material has been
prepared for the State exhibit at the
Worlds Fair, by the different schools.
The following new books have re-
Gently been added to the already choice
collection in the high school library:
Irving's Sketch Book, Taylor's Views
.Afoot Tropical Africa, Marcus Au-
relius, Tom Brown at Rugby, Plu-
tarch's Lives, American Patriotism,
Les Miserables, Vol. of Ruskin's
Work, Entering on Life, and some
others.
During these closing days of the
term, it is fitting that those who are in
terested in the schools should indulge
in a little retrospection to discover
wherein they are at fault and may be
| improved.
| Looking over the reports of the
various schools, the most glaring de-
fects are the lack Of promptness and
regularity. It may seem a small mat
ter to a parent that his child is tardy
or absent but could such parent be
made to realize the educational and
moral benefit to be attained by prompt
ness and regularity, he would permit
nothing but the sternest necessity to
break the record of his child in these
respects. Looked at from any stand
point, hardness and irregularity are
evil and only evil. It is worth more to
the elevation of a pupil than any one
can imagine, to be able to say at the
close of a course in school, II have
never been tardy at school nor have I
been absent except in cases of sickness
over which had no control" What
a recommend such testimony would
be for any Important trust. Again it
is poor economy to be absent, for the
loss of single day may be the occasion
OF the loss of a half year or years
work in some subject, which the stu
dent is pursuing, in his failure to make
the State examination. Life is too
short to make such sacrifice. The
good people Of Princeton are justly
proud OF their fine school building, but
would it not be more a matter of lust
pride to have school noted for its
promptness, it's regularity and studi.
