was absent one day, because of
sickness.
The pupils in the Intermediate
ricals one week from Friday.
| Again this year our board fur
nishes twenty copies of the Path
finder for current event study.
We are glad to note that the at
tendance and punctuality in the
Second Room has been very good
this week.
Harry Campbell, of the sixth
grade. is doing good work in spite
of his broken arm, which is getting
along nicely.
On Wednesday the pupils ofroom

from one of their former teachers,
| Mrs. Chas. Wilde, of Ross.
| Owing to the lateness in review
ing the report cards the children of
Room Two will not get their grades
until the end of the second month.
| A number of the pupils of the
second grammar grade went to the
carnival last week. The attendance
since the carnival has been very
regular.
Among the curioslties which the
children of the Second Room have
collected this week are cocoons, cat
erpillars and paper made by the
paper wasp.
We are waiting patiently for our
book cases which were shipped
from the factory some days ago,
meanwhile the encyclopedia is in
great demand.
Eight cases of hardness were on
the records of the intermediate, for
last week. It is hoped that parents
will do their utmost to overcome
this evil of the schools.
We earnestly hope the parents OF

or to attend the Parents Day Exer-

4 Several pupils of the First Gram.
mar Room were absent the latter
part of the week attending the At.
lantic carnival. There was only one
case of hardness during the week
and we hope to make 1T one less next
week.
The First Primary has had many
cases of hardness so far. We fear
in this, we excel any other room in
the building. May we not hope tina,
in the future a little more care be
exercised in sending pupils so they
may reach the building in time for
school?
There was no program given in
room four on Friday afternoon, but
!: a very proftab BILE half hour was
spent by the pupils in review OF
current events. We hope to do much
during the year to aid the pupils in
the general reading and believe the
parents will help us in this.
Last Friday afternoon the child.
rem of Room Two celebrated Column
bus Day. Before recess they drew
different scenes of Columbus life
and voyages. After recess Alice
Basham read description of India
and Eddie Peters read one of Italy
as they were at the time of Colum
bus birth. These descriptions had
been prepared by the class. This
formed an introduction to the real
story of Columbus which the teach.
er told with the assistance of sever.
al pictures which had previously
been drawn on the black board. Al
the conclusion of the story the
school sang song to the memory
of this beloved hero.
