We learn that some of the pupils of
the Graded school have been injuring
the school property on the school
ground. Now we want to say to these
pupils that this property is provided
by your parents at great expense for
your benefit, and to say the least of
it, it is very ungrateful act on your
part to injure or destroy it. There
are to be found in all schools some
bad boys, who, instead of studying
their lessons, prefer to take up their
time in wrong doing, but we learn
that some of the mischief complained
of was done by a few of the larger
girls. 1t is bad enough for boys to be
engaged in such mischief but it is
hard to conceive of the fact that girls,
who should always set d a good exam
pie for the boys. should be found even
approving of such conduct in the
boys. Some of the boys, and girls,
too, who have been guilty of these
bad practices, are known, and if they
do not wish to be exposed in "a way
that will not be pleasant to them,
they would better change their con.
duct. 1t is suggested that the teachers
might be little more watchful, so as
to detect those engaged in this mis-
chief, and we are advised by the
trustees that the teachers will be sus-
tanned in melting out to the guilty par
ties the punishment they deserve.
