Der OF books have been received

way and we are always glad to get

The monthly grade cards will be

Final term examinations will be
given the week folio wing. The
schedule for the high school eXami-
nations is now posted on the bulle-
tin board aud each student is ex-
pected 10 be present for the occasion.
Students are notified befor" hand,
not that they may "cram' but that
they may make their plans to let
nothing interfere at these hours.
W" believe that the few hours
cram Just before examination
does not bring good results and
usually does nothing more that get
"A student much mixed. " The
daily lesson well prepared does
count and under such conditions the
cram is not necessary.
The present term will close Jan
uary Il and the second term open
the Monday following. Pupils who
are just six years of age, or those
who will he six before May, accord
ing to the regulations of the school,
will be entitled to enter at opening
Of term. Arrangements should be
made for them to enter at the be-
ginning Of the term il they are to
enter during the term, as they will
be admitted only during the first
few weeks. The first lessons are
quite important and should not be
missed.
