GA motion was made and unanimously
carried directing that hereafter no pupils
shall be promoted from any class to a
higher one in the High school whose work
in examinations is not equal to or greater
than 75 per cent, and that pupils who, on
account of lack of ability, irregularity of
attendance, or neglect of study, fail to
keep up to this standard during three
years shall remain four years in the school,
or until they reach the required standard.
