School Notes.

The high school Inspector of the
teachers training course paid us a
visit last Tuesday, September 9th.
While the course had only just been
organized and was hardly in working
order, the Inspector expressed his APP
proval of the work. The high school
work, library and teachers met the
requirements. Some of the pupils
had not entered at that time, and the
only conditions which was not up to
the requirement was the number of
pupils. The number has since been
added and more than the required
number are now taking the course.
We feel complimented on the report
of the visitor, but wish he could have
seen the work after it had been bet-
ter organized.
Miss Dorothy Huff, who was to have
taken the Mathematics and History
