ucation.


ucation.
The commencement exercises OF the
Pennsgroye High School on Thursday even
ing in ST. Paul's M E Church marks q
new epoch ia the educational advancement
OF this region because it was the graduation
of the first class in the four year course as
approved by the State Board of Educa-
ton, which is equivalent to what many pu-
pills get in College preparatory schools, and
admits them to the second year Of the Nor
NAL without examination. It is the con-
Summation to which Prof. Isaac Rissmiller,
Phi D., has been working since he became
Principal of the schools there eight years
ago, and the last TWO years as Supervising
Principal.
This commencement also marks the most
successful year in the history of the school
IN enrolment, attendance and promotions.
457 was the total number enrolled, 80 the
PERCENTAGE of attendance, and ST. per cent.
of all the pupils were promoted.
The graduates were Ethel Peterson, Edna
Cline, Lille Harris, Bella Hewitt, Florence
Turnbull, Emma Dabow.
All the speakers did admirably, and
much credit is due 20 both pupils and
teachers for the careful training which the
pupils showed in the writing anu rendering
of their essays and orations.
The large number of citizens present at
tested their interest, and their appreciation
was shown by generous applauding.
Twenty three were promoted to the high
school; thirSy-two to the grammar grade;
tifty-eight received primary certificates.
The increase in the school attendance has
been so rapid that thirteen teachers and a
supervisor are now employed, an increase
OF six teachers in three years, and yet the
primary rooms recrowded.
Passed Teachers Examination Five OF
the six graduates passed the examination
successfully, and are entitled to certificates
as soon as they become eighteen years old.
Four others, Ada Dalbow, Rae Kidd, and
Florence Mitchell, of the class of 1909, and
Stella Wainright, Of the class of 1910 also
passed from to 8 subjects toward teach
ers' certificate. [Pennsgrove Record.
