About Examinations.
! Complete ngements have been
made for the graduating exercises of
| Hillhcuse and Boardman high schools
and the class day exercises will be 1ald
at the Hyperion theater tomorrow
| Thursday afternoon). The salutatory
will be delivered by Harrison Sheldon
of Hillhouse while the valedictory will
be delivered by Miss Ida May Warner
of Boardman. Last year the order was
reversed.
The principal address at the gradual
ing exercises on Friday evening will
I be delivered by the Rev. B. L. Whit
man, of Washington, D. c. His sub
ject will be 1.-THE Spirit That Wins"
Music will be rendered by a chorus and
quartet composed of Hillhouse and
Boardman pupils. His honor, Mayor
]. P. Studley will present diplomas
and a number of we'll known citizens
will make brief addresses.
Diplomas will be presented to about
$50 pupils. of this number 1875 will be
given to Hillhouse pupils and 80 to
Boardman pupils. This is an increase
of about 10 over last year.
Superintendent Beede has received
lists from all the grammar schools in
the city of the pupils who are recon-
mneded for the high school without
examination. The principals of the
grammar schools recommend 209 for
Boardman and 265 for IIillhouse. In
addition to that number 80 will take
the examinations for Boardman and 40
for Hillhouse. This will make a total
somewhat in excess of the number that
entered last year.
The entrance examinations for both
Hilhouse and Boardman will be held
at Hillhouse on Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of next
week. English, grammar and language
will be the subjects the first day,
spelling and geography the next, his
tory on Wednesday, and arithmetic on
Thursday. All the examinations will
be held in the afternoon and will be
under the supervision of members of
the Hillhouse faculty. In accordance
with the rule just adopted the pupils
applying for entrance to the high
schools who fail to receive an average
of rs per cent, which is required for
admission, but who do attain 60 per
cent. and over, will be given another
opportunity in the fall. The fall ex-
aminations for new pupils and those
who fail this month, will be held Sep
TENDER and 4 at Hilhouse
The indications now are that both
Hillhouse and Boardman will be
greatly crowded next September.
Work on the addition to the Board
man school will! be rushed and it will
probaly be completed by the time
school opens in the fall. This will re-
lieve the pressure somewhat but the
members of the board of education
and the superintendent wish the new
high school was to be completed at
that time. The Hilhouse building will
be more crowded than Boardman ow-
ing to the fact that the latter insti-
tuition has but recently become popu-
lar with large number of pupils
graduating from the various grammar
schools.
This year the number that will en-
ter Boardman will be considerably in
excess of the entering class last year.
This relieves Hillhouse somewhat but
taxes the capacity of the Boardman
building to it's full extent. 1t will be
necessary to continue the morning and
afternoon sessions at Hillhouse next
year and in fact until the new building
is ready.
