the rest of the laboratory work in

While we review these signs of
development with satisfaction, we
still believe thoroughly that the main
things are the fundamentals, and
that. beginning with the first grade

school, the greatest attention should
be given to reading, spelling, writing.
number work and arithmetic. physi-
ology. language work. geography
and history.

paid our schools high tributes, which |
have been gratifying and encourage

Most of the boys and girls, as well |
rs the teachers, have worked hard, |

and liberal policy which is conducive |
to progress.
