HIGH SCHOOL,


On Wednesday morning no regular
program was given In either OF the
assembly rooms, but Mr.. Eaton talked
TO the pupils of the junior and senior
classes on Methods OF Studying, He
emphasized the subject of individual
study. The best results are obtained
only by those who prepare their les
sons alone. A boy who solves one ORE
gnal problem In geometry has gained
for more than another who has secured
the result by the aid Of another pupil.
He also showed how much time and
energy are wasted by lack OF concern
tration OF thought, II q pupil gives
his entire thought 10 lesson for a
certain time, Il Is learned very easily.
Many times one lesson Is Given more
time than should be expended upon II,
thus nccessitating neglect OF others.
The suggestions are excellent and al
ready the pupils are beginning to see
the beneficial results obtained by fol-
lowing them,
Arrangements have been made for
placing n piano IN the first year as
sembiy room, much to the delight OF
the pupils.
