First Term Report of the Public
Crhaal

First Term Report of the Public
School.
The publication last year of some OF
the essential facts pertaining TO The
public schools appeared to help in
| bringing about a proper understands
| ing between pupils, patrons. and
teachers. and. therefore, | present
brief report on the work Of the term
| just closed in order TO continue, and,
| if possible, increase the healthy
sentiment in favor of these schools in
| the community.
There is evidence OF improvement
| in every department of the schools.
! In matters OF discipline parents have
/ heartily cooperated with the teachers
| in maintaining such regulations as
! are necessary TO the proper manage
1 ment OF a school. In the few in
] stances in which severe measures had
/ TO be taken, the pupils recognized
| their mistakes and showed a DISPOSE
| tion To comply cheerfully with the
necessary requirements of the school.
In former publication attention
was called TO the poor quality of work
| done by many pupils on account of
| irregular attendance. While there
were several in school during the
! term just closed, apparently, for no
| other purpose than to have a good
time, the results Of the examinations,
/ the testimony of the teachers. and
| my OWN observation convince me that
| most OF the pupils mean business and
are IN school TO get all out of their
work possible.
| As evidence of this improvement
! and determined effort ON the part
of the pupils TO make school work
their business and not an excuse for
wasting time at public expense,
present the following facts:
| The average daily attendance for
the first term of the school year
1884 was 276; for the term just
closed 1868. The average per cent.
of attendance for the first term last
year was $50; for this term go
There has not been very con-
| siderable decrease in the numb Der of
| cases of hardness. yet even in this
| there is evidence of improvement.
| The average mum Der of cases of tardi-
ness per month for he first term last
| year was 20; for the term just closed
| %, making a reduction of IL per
| month.
The total enrolment for the term
was ego. In the High School there
were 90, while for the corresponding
| term last year there were but AZ.
! This number has been reduced to -
| by the removal of some from the city
| and the withdrawal of others on ac-
| count of failing on their examinations.
| All of the grades are full, while the first
and second primary departments are
| crowded, especially the first primary
in which 81 pupils were enrolled.
Below are published the names and
averages of all the pupils from the
| High School to the fourth grade in
elusive. Respectfully,
