lie University for the four years course.
Miss Pauline Abbott, 'O7' will resume
her musical studies IN Peabody Iusti
tute, Baltimore, in few days. Frank
Davis. '07, completes his work at Le-
high this year.
Owing to the fact that an unusually
arge class was graduated in June last
ind the g'ade promoted to the High
school was unusually small the High
school enrolment is smaller than it
las been for q number Of years. The
tandard OF the Grammar School has
'een materially raised and in four years
he normal sized classes will be pro
noted into the High School, and they
will be thoroughly prepared for High
ehoOl work. In this connection it
night be said that too great an effort
} made by many parents to push their
hildren too rapidly. At the present (
me there are quite a number Of chill
rem in the school Of Milford who find
le work very difficult because they
re not old enough to master the sub.
