Every five weeks the pupils of our public
schools are given cards containing averages
of their standings for the past five weeks,
and also the record of their attendance and
department. These are taken home to be
examined and signed by parent or guardian
and returned the next day. 1t was interest
ing to watch the pupils last Tuesday, it be-
ing report card day, as they went home,
some with an air Of disappointment, some
with satisfied countenance; now and then
boy gritting his teeth, clenching his fist,
and making resolution to raise those
standings next time or die in the attempt,
and occasionally child is seen crying as
if its heart would break. Parents who are
deeply interested in their children's educa-
ton will do we'll to give these cards more
than passing glance.
