books has given entire satisfaction and by
theis means it will now be an easy matter 10
compare the years work with those years
that have gone before.
From the library cards we hope at a future

thus publicly 10 thank them all for the
hearty, earnest support that they have given
in the efforts we have made TO advance aud

These pupils who were USAvpIDABLY'
absent from their final examinations, and
those who failed in only two minor subjects
should be given an examination in the fall
to test their ability at that time to carry on
the work of an advanced grade.
Our two lower grades have been crowded
during the year, and for the best results two
additional rooms are needed and two teach
ers for each grade.
The heating system should be given a very

be changed. The closet system, too, should
