Good Work In the Schools

During the seven years that Prof. w. B.
Tharp has been principal Of the Middle
town Public Schools, he has sent out q
graduates, all of whom are credit to the
school Some of the number are already
known as successful teachers, others, in
the various Vocations now open alike to
young women and young men, are making
their way in the world, while few are no
less useful in filling their own niche here at
home.
1.-THE records of the year that has just
closed show 223 names of pupils enrolled
Of that number 127 were promoted to a
higher grade, 70 Of them being honorary
promotions--that is promoted on their
study average during the year.
There are eleven grades in the school,
covering eleven years work in the six de-
partments, as follows: No. 6, 1st year; No
5, I'd year; No. 4, 3G and 4th year; No. 8,
9Th and 9th year; No. 2, 7th and Sth year;
No. 1, 9th, 10th and 11th year.
As the question of the cost of free text
books has been under general discussion OF
late, Prof. Tharp has made very careful
estimate of the cost here, which he figures
at 40 cents per pupil per annum. This is
at least 20 cents less, per capita than what
it cost to supply the pupils of the Whining
ton schools.
