passed with remarkable swiftness,
probably on account Of the dill
gence of the students.

has been studying William Cullen
Bryant, the father of American 20.
etry. Last week essays were writ
ten on the subject: "What a Com
plete High School Course Ought
to Have"
In Latin class the pupils are
having a terrible time, in their own
opinions. with the ISL endings Of
the Latin nouns. Although they

ming makes a bad ending they

the subject.
The commercial branches are in
full progress and the new sets for
book keeping are expected soon.

nephews a total of 125 pieces of skin
