The Newtown bee. (Newtown, Conn.) 1877-current, 1901-05-17

tions are held at varying intervals, the
results of which will also be communi-
Gated to parents. The reports occupy
an important place in the discipline
of the school, and notices of approval
or censure from home will be of great
service in stimulating boys to more
earnest effort. Each year prizes are
awarded to the pupils having the high
est marks for the year in mathematics,
ancient languages, sciences, modern
languages and English.
Pupils who are not sufficiently ad-
vanced in their studies to enter the
Lower School are placed in a prepare
tory form and there made ready to
take their place at the beginning of
the regular course. Members of the
first, second, third and fourth forms,
have the same studies with the excep-
ton of Greek. Those who omit Greek
take the alternatives specified in the
course of study. In the fifth and sixth
forms the classical and scientific
courses are necessarily so different
that, in the course of study, they are
best set forth in separate statements.
But students preparing for scientific
schools pursue their studies, so far as
practicable, in the same classes with
those preparing for college, and con-
form to the same standards of attain
ment and discipline. The course in
mechanical drawing includes practice
in the use of instruments and the
study of simple projections and work
ing drawings. A conversational know
ledge of modern languages by native
teachers is given if desired. The
academic year will begin the last
Tuesday in September and will close
the second Tuesday in June. There
will be recesses at Christmas and
Easter.
