The progress of the various high
school classes is very satisfactory to
the faculty. The students are gradu-
ally establishing their habits of study
and concentration, and those who have
learned this master their work in a
credible manner and those who have
not yet learned this lesson are strug-
Cling along, working at a disadvantage.
Accuracy is the most marked character
istic Of scholarship and those who fail
in this are not living up to their highest
ideals and possibilities. The motto of
Dickens should be adopted by every
student. It is as follows: "What ever
have tried to do in my life, have
tried with all my heart to do well. {"
Follow this for q period and then note
the development in all departments.
