that pupils do not lerive their great

another fact clearly demonstrated
from the examinations held in the
High School, is that pupils can not
successfully carry more than four
subjects unless they can devote sew

pill in the High School should ever
be allowed to carry more than four
subjects unless his average the pre-

D Enrolment And Attend.
4 ance In Our Schools.
Friday January 22rd, closed the
first semester of our school year. It
theoretically, consists of 1870 school
days, but, on account of dismissals
for various resons, the schools were
in session 81 days during first half.
The Christmas holidays, extended
over two weeks, but was not part
OF the school month, as the time is
to be made up. Owing to the fact
that Christmas and New Year were
legal holidays and coming as they
did on school days, the Board
deemed it best to close the schools
for the entire two weeks.
The total enrolment for the
school year so far is Ills pupils. a
gain of 3O5 pupils over the preced-
ing year; the average daily attend
ance was 965. Ordinarily there are
two divisions or classes assigned to
each room, but owing to the fact |
that we all have no additional school
rooms to which to promote the
children who were ready to pass
to next grade, the only relief is
to place three divisions or classes
in the different rooms.
A careful study of the situation
reveals the fact that our school has
much retardation in the primary
and intermediate grades. The boys
and girls who become fourteen years
II age before reaching the seventh
grade with few exceptions leave
school before compile ting the sew
nth grade.
Until we learn how to over come
he far-reaehing influences of
leredity and environment, there
will continue to be considerable
lumber Of retarded pupils, but it is
within the power of teachers to i'm
rove conditions in this respect. A
ympathetic, tactful teacher can do
much to interest and keep pupils in
chool. Without a strong, impel- :
ing motive or purpose to hold the
upil to his school tasks, especially 7
turing the absence period, the
estralnts and duties OF the school
item become very irksome.
If children enter school at six
ears Of age, attend regularly and
re promoted each term, they will
ZACH the seventh grade before they
Fe fourteen.
There are two causes Of retarda~
on over which teachers have no
'ntrol, viz. That caused by alb
nee on account of illness and an
her large class that is not perma-
entity located. 1t is surprising how
