137 per cent or an average of OK
per cent for each school. | have
every good reason fox believing
that the work done in the other
branches is correspondingly better
than 1t was any preceding year.
| There were Io failures in the A
and B Primary schools, 6 in the A
and B intermediate schools, 7 in
the A B and c Grammar schools
and 80 in the High School. a few
pupils who after fair trial were
found either disinclined or unable
to do the work required of them
were put back into the schools from
which they had been promoted a
year ago.
The Freshman class of the High
School will very probably number
at least so. 1t will make two di-
visions of at least 40 each. 1t will
not be necessary for you to estab-
lish any new schools this year.
A SECOND ROLL OF HONOR.
1t is with very great pleasure l
submit you this part of my report
containing the names of those boys
and girls who stood first in their
respective schools this year. | am
personally acquainted with nearly
all Of these leaders and l am sure
that each one is worthy Of the lead
ership. Eight of their names are
OH the first roll of honor and be-
lieve that all the others would have
had their names there had not sick
ness or some other unavoidable
cause prevented.

COURSE OF STUDY.
The course of study you adopted
last August went into effect at the
beginning Of the last term. Our
Classical and English Courses are
each one year longer than they were
ten years ago, and our Normal and
Business Courses each two years
longer. The new course is a very
good one. 1t is much superior to
any of the former Courses and is
uneXcelled DelleVe, by any other
High School Course in this section
of the state. Hitherto we have been
prevented from covering the work
thoroughly as prescribed because of
ineffective work especially in the
Boys A Grammar school and in
the High School. 1t is needless
for me to say that good teachers
are essential to do good work in
any grade, and that we must have
them if you wish to maintain the
present Course of Study on a good,
high grade.
During the year, sent copies of
our Course of Study to several of
the leading colleges of the State.
The replies received were very
gratifying to me, and to show you
the favor with ub;cL tla oo,>;a,
