at St. James school Hall.
Friday marked the close of the year
in the city schools, and while another
week remains, Ghere will be little done
beyond the holding of the final exam
nations and the assigning of pupils
for the next year. The year has been
the most prosperous in the history of
the schools. More children have at
tended the schools than ever before
and greater interest has been mani
fest in all the work. Music and draw
ing has been added to the curriculum
and the addition of these branches has
proved great advancement. During
the year the Commissioners have nearly
all taken a personal interest in the
work of the schools and in this manner
they are in touch with the entire
school system and are prepared to
make all needed reforms during the
vacation. Among the reforms that
have been suggested is a complete
change in the method of teaching
Chemistry and Physics ia the High
School. President Williams, of the
Board of Education, has taken per-
sonal interest in these branches, and
at an early meeting of the Board will
urge that some changes be made and
that the equipment of the laboratories
be greatly increased in order that the
school may be able to fill all the re-
uuirements of the State Board in re-
gard to these studies. The plan is to
| greatly enlarge the laboratories and to
move them from the present quarters to
the big room now used as an audito-
rum. This would be great i'm
provement and would result in a better
class of work being done.
The High school teachers have
