says: ,
"The enrolment is the highes,

"The pupils have been quite
regular in their attendance
However. some are careless in
this respect. Many parents are
also careless, in not seeing to it
that their children are in the
schools. Truancy is almost en-
tirely broken up, and hardness
is on the decrease.
"Parents do not visit the
schools often enough, especially
at the central building. -Four

II parents would visitthe schools
more frequently, and become
better acquainted with the

to have a meeting of the teachers

"Good reading and expression
have been emphasized. Now,

are being brought to the fore.
'tLiterary work in the high
school has been a feature of the
work this year. The literary
society meets once in two weeks,
on Friday afternoon.
"The present quarters are en-.
tirely inadequate. The base.
ment will have to be used,
another year, if a new high school
building is not erected. The
assembly room is now taxed to
its fullest capacity. We need

Thornton was charged with the

nearly all day yesterday and it is
supposed that the main difficulty in
reaching a conclusion was due to
