Geo. Searles began school again.
Last year about this time he decid-
ed to stop school and go to work.
He found all jobs too difficult and
therefore returned to school now.
He said that education is more i'm
portant than money at the present.
|, as a member of the committee
who shall make reports about the
events Of the week etc., am request
ed to respond to the opportunity.
1t gives me great pleasure indeed
to have a chance to express my
thoughts about u public school
which | think is we'll worthy of con-
siderable praise.
Today a friend and l had the
pleasure of visiting several of the
rooms all in which we were most
cordially welcomed by the teach
ers. In the first we saw some very
good drawings and pictures that
required skill and practice by the
children and careful teaching on
the teachers part. The other rooms
were decorated in much the same
way with pictures and drawings
that r not at all disappointing
but on the contrary are somewhat
surprising.
When we came to the Grammar
room which is occupied by the sew
enth and eighth grades, we found
that to be the most popular room
in the building as every seat seem
ed to be occupied, and there is not
any more room for seats as about
all the space in the room except in
the aisles is about a yard square
in front of the teachers desk which
is reserved by her. We found this
room to be not as much decorated
as those Of the lower grades, but
could plainly see by the work on
the black boards that their time
was given to mathematics, gram
mar and the other branches taken
there, and less time spent for draw
ing and pictures which are Of less
avail than the other which | think
are most useful and, practical for
our common every day life.
Last Monday several new pupils
started school all of whom we hope
shall continue until the end Of the
school year.
