Next spring we hope to have COM
mencement exercises for those who
pass the examination for admission to
the County High School. TO this end,
the advanced class in each school
should write essays Of at least 500
words monthly, and these should be
carefully corrected, returned to the
pupil to be copied in an exercise book
and then carefully filed away and
preserved for the inspection Of visitors
and the county superintendent. The
lower classes should do much Of the
same work, but Of a different nature,
and fewer words. Permit us to eau
ton you not to neglect the lower
classes for the benefit of the advanced
class. Every pupil should have his
full share of attention.
Seldom do we have so many
changes in city and village princi-
pals as we had this year.
