Never before in the history Of the
school has Hasbrouck Institute closed It's
term with a better record than this year
as regards the number of pupils, the
graduates and its future outlook. Last
month the Institute turned out the lars-
est class ever graduated, and from pres
emit appearances next years class pias
fair to be even larger. One Of the lea
fures of Hasbrouck Institute is the fact
that at least half of each graduating
class become ~collegfans. OF the tive nun
bred boys and girls graduated from TINS
school. three hundred rave entered coll
lege. Then. again, there are few schools
in New Jersey where the graduates are
favored with a Regents certificate adj
hitting them to any college In the State
OF New York without further ex-
aminations. The Board of Regents is
very strict in its examinations. 50 is
Hasbrouck Institute, as well as IN the
careful training for these examinations.
and. therefore, it is one of the few
schools outside Of New York State, where
those completing their course Of study are
favored by the Regents. Probably this
is the reason so many Of its pupils en-
ter college.

Another feature of the school is that
whole families. one by one. and IN many
cases. through two generations, have peen
graduated. as for example, the Stratfords
and the Gravatts. This, aside from the
fact of the high rank attained by Has

for the school.
