THE MESA SCHOOL.
The closing exercises of the Mesa,
Central, Franklin and Aoy schools took
place today. The usual program was
this year in part replaced by ex-
hibits of the work done during the term
by the pupils. Specimens of the work
of every pupil in the schools were on
exhibition and showed we'll the pro-
eress made by the children and the
care and painstaking work bestowed by
their faithful teachers.
The examinations took place yester-
day and from reports 80 far there have
been very few failures among the pu-
pills in any of the grades. At the clos
ing exercises Prof. Putnam delivered
to the pupils the cards OF promotion
to the higher grades. The few who
failed will have to go over the same
grade again next year.
A SATISFACTORY YEAR.
The work OF the schools during the
past year has been very satisfactory to
all. The attendance has SO increased
that notwithstanding the fact that two
new school houses have been added
and an addition made to the Mess
school the buildings are overcrowded.
The attendance among the pupils en-
rolled has averaged SO per cent, which
Is an improvement over former years.
This too is In spite of the fact that H
Psso, unlike many cities. has no truant
officers.
