We look back to see If we should
go on.
In looking back over the past
school year there are some things that
might be of interest to the good peo-
pie of Sank Centre. Especial those

The repairs and improvements
made the last year have been of spec
ial benefit to the pupils. More particu-
larly the ventilitating of the Grade
building.
sIt is pleasure to state that not
one complaint has been filed with thes
board or with any member thereof, by
parent or guardian of any pupil in.
the school the past year.
The percentage OF truancy is very
low, only 002 per cent. The standard
of truthfulness and honesty Is decid-
eddy high among the pupils at the
present time. Not one has been ex-
PEELED for any cause during the last
three years.
"The special departments: Normal,
Manual Training, Domestic Science
and Agriculture are giving universal
satisfaction. Their popularity far ex-.
ceeds the widest dreams of the VS.
ionary board that inauguraEed those
studies into the curriculum.
There is "a crying need at the pres
emit time for an additional study, and
the board have signinfied their inten-
ton OF adding a good commercial de-
of business education. This can be
done without extra teaching force for
the first year at least This will add
to the efficiency of the scho which
means the efficiency OF it's pupils, The
graduates must be able to step into
their chosen vocation of life for which
they have been prepared, and there be,
! able TO receive masters wages in any
one of the five branches taught.
IF the pupils are not up. to their
standard it is the duty of the board u
inquire into the faculty, lest the pubs
lie inquire into the board.
"Let this be the test of your school:
the efficiency Of it's pupils.
