School Items,

The graduating class of the Owosso High
largest class in the history of the city.
Owing to the increase the custom Of holding
graduating exercises with essays and ora
tions by the pupils has been abolished. The
graduates were, however, required as usual
to prepare an essay and deliver the same
before the school.
About ten members of the graduating
class expect to attend college next year or
the following year.
Next year the high school will number at
least $50 pupils, or an increase of 35 over
this years enrolment. The promotions
from the sth grade will number 80. 1t will
probably be necessary to increase the teach
ing force by one or two teachers.
The law requiring examination of city
teachers does not 60 into effect until July
4th, and, under the ruling of Supt. II. R.
Pattengill, license issued by city board
prior to that time is sufficient for any teach
er so long as the teacher remains in the
same school.
Shortly after the closing of the schools
Supt. Simmons goes to Constantine for two
weeks recreation and subsequently engages
in institute work in various parts of the
state. Principal Austin returns to Ann
Arbor for study and in August will assist in
institute work in Montcalm county. Prof.
Bach will locate in Chicago and take post
graduate work in the University Of Chicago.
Miss Havens will take the trip from De-
troit to Marquette by water and return by
raj, to her old home at Hastings.
