following report
we have visited the scheal rr-rusatlr.
sia awe made ourselves fSmlliar n son,.-
gree with the methods OF t.aeh,,,,, ,r,.
government pursued in each clas, rs,,ua.
we have beeR much pleased with tie
minner in which the school kas BEEN con-
dle.ed Principal and teachers have Ia
o'sed together in spirit Of harmeuv and
with sincere desire for the good Of their
pupils and the success OF the school. TIE
ipiis. as far as We can judge. have seen
seudlous and eontented. and have made
excellent progress. Good order. as ruiz
has prevailed.
An effort has teen made to raise the
Standard OF scholarship by a systeu Of
careful grading. We think that this svs-
TEN. IL maintained. will be very beneficial
ID The school. aud will do away with. in a
great measure. the confusion in classes
that has existed heretofore.
We ind that auossaE teacher Is much
needed ia the high school department.
The Principal OF the school should have
leisure to visit the different class raoas,
aud Keep strict supervision OF the whole
school, The school being plscea in his
charge. he IS responsible to your hanora.
Die body and to the public for the way in
which it IS conducted. When he Is con.
tinHously employed in the hearing OF class
e. he has no leisure for daily oversight Of
the whole school.
We believe this to De matter OF much
Importance. and beg leave to E-ge that il
BE- fayorably considered. -
We recommend that the PRINCIPAL be
given the power to make a change in se--f
books. when in his discretion he thinks il
should be done.
We tind two rooms in the basement that
could at small expense be made services-
bic as toilet FooHs-one each for boys and
girls. The rooms should be rioorea ane
furnished with stationary basins and drain
pipes. We strongly advise that this ID
GoHe-the pupils need such rooms-:
We do not think the jsnit0r's work hs.
been thoroughly done. and suggest that il
be made the duty OF some one connected
with the school TO look after him and s-s
that his work is properly done and tn.
building kept in good order. Prinefpa
and teachers could arrange for dxIly in
speetion Of the building. We feel il ina
portant that lessons of Heasness and vrdei
be impressed upon the minds Of the chill
dren at school as well a. II home.
In elvsing we wish to express again oul
approval Of the manner in which til,
school has been conducted. We thorough
ly appreciate the work done bF Prof VIII

efforts made by them to eiegate the stan
dard OF the school.
We think that the classes in art. mus.
and el0cutiOn taught in the bailding hay'
been of much advantage TO the school
Tie teachers in these different bEanehe.
have done all in their power for the goos
Of the pupils. and their presence and A.
sisiance has been of much benefit.
We feel il due TO Prof. Williams. 10 hh
teachers and 10 the pupils. that We express
through you our thanks fer the Haiforu
kindness and courtesy they have shown n
in our visits to the school Building. IN,
discharge Of the duties placed upon us Ia
been rendered easy and pleasant BY tn
the manner In which they have met rs.
