The DemOtiOnS.

Mr.. Fletcher asked whether the
demotions had been made for lack OF
ability.
Prof. Varney said that they had
been made on the general average OF
the work done by the pupils. The
most of those denoted had been pro-
NOTED last spring against the recon-
-mendation of the teachers. Several
were pupils who had lately moved to
the city and had entered their classes
on trial, but were not equal to the
work and had cropped back. A COM
mit6ee of three had passed upon each
pupil, the teachers of the grades from
which and to which the pupil was to
pass and the principal of the build
ing. The school board was invited to
appoint a committee to examine the
work of these pupils if it cared to.
MI. Fletcher suggested that in max
ing demotions, it would be necessary
to be very careful or the pupil de-
NOTED would be permantly discour-
aged.
Prof. Varney said that to keep a
pupil in a grade that was too high fol
him was doing him the greatest in
justice, besides holding back the
other pupils of the grade and taking
up the teachers time.
