The school committee met in regular
session last evening, in the lecture room
of the Classical high school. Presider..
Barney in the chair.
superintendent Tarbell reported the
attendance in the public schools for
the last quarter as follows: High
schools, 1886; grammar school, $500 pri-
mary. 1891 special, $40: kindergarten.
1888; total enrolment, 23,SS6; an increase
of l55 over the corresponding quarter
last year.
Dr. Tarbell then read a statement in
regard 10 evening schools in which ne
stated the number OF pupils in the H,gl
school, advance schools and common
schools each week for three years. That
portion of the High school having thce.
sessions per week fell off To 81 per cent:
while last year Ii fell off TO Al per cent
The two evening a week division ieE
off to SO per cent. and last year it fell
off 10 AZ per cent. The advanced ali1
common schools show a falling off cor
responding with that of the Hisa
school.
Last year at the evening schools. the
attendance the 10Th week was 1884 and
this year 1887. The Goth week last year
had in attendance 154I. showing a gam
during the closing week of 203 pupils.
This year the 10Th week showed loss
OF 146. If. instead of the loss of this
year we had had the gain of last year,
we would have closed with 349 more pu.
pills than we actually did. gain OF 29
per cent. This 20 per cent. measures the
difference in attendance between
schools having entertainments for their
closing night and schools having NJ
such exercises. Last year 20' pupils
came i'm to take part in or enjoy an en-
tertainment. This year LAC left because
the term was nearly over. they were

After going into the details of evening
school work very closely, Supt. Tar

scattered through three reports in as
many months, here present them in

who may do me the honor TO consider

Mems
Shoes
That
Wear (!
The
Best
For the
Money !.

There are shoes and shoes. Some
are made only to sell and some are
made not only to sell; but to wear.
The gentleman's shoe question al
ways carries a perplexing problem
to the merchant who seeks to give
the most for the least money. l
have wrestled with the problem for
years. l have sold as many mems
100 cent values in shoes for a dollar
as any merchant in this section; but
l have never felt so easy on this
matter as now. l handle the cele-
brated HAMILTON BROWN
SHOE, the BEST in the aUorld for
the money. A competitor beat me
to this shoe over a year ago. was
not willing to admit it at the time,
because | did not believe that it
was better shoe than | was selling
for the same money. But since then
Hamilton-Brown Shoes have been
worn all over this section with such
satisfaction that there is no longer
any dispute as to their superior
quality. | secured control of this
shoe on this market, and except for
a few remnants of old stocks, no
one else can furnish it. 1t is the
shoe to buy. No man who once
buys a pair of Hamilton-Brown
Shoes is apt to wear anything else
afterward. HAMILTON-BROWN
SHOES COVER THE EARTH.
