The number of Withdrawals is less
than usual for this period of the year.
During the month have visited and in
spected all the schools of the city one
or more times. I am pleased to report
favorably upon the progress Of the
work. There are no efforts spared on
the part of the corps in general, 10 do
the best possible for the pupils OF the
city. Before the close Of the year
careful summary Of the years work will
be made in all grades.
In the closing work it Is the aim to
make each pupil feel sufficient conf
dence in his ability. Tests and examin-
atoms, when rightly used, are incentives
and means Of proper inspiration For
pupil TO have opportunity to measure
his strength after carefully studying a
subject, is a wise provision in his train
ing for the duties of life. Sooner or
later he will meet the tests of the bus
mess or professional world and happy
will he be if his school work has taught
him how to meet and master difficulties.
Discipline-One big boy has been ex-
cluded from the schools for conduct
detrimental to the morals of other pu-
pills.
