THE SCHOOL YEAR.
(By supt. McVay1

(By Supt. McVay1
The Diploma of Graduation from
the Scotland High School has q
larger meningitis Com mmencement
than ever before. For three years
the graduates have had the advant-
ages of the full four years of High
School work; the first four year
class being that of 1912.
The graduates Of 1915 have not
only the benefit of the four year
course, but this class has the add
ed advantage of having its diplo-
mas sancti oned by the State De-
partment of Education, in the fact
of accreditment extended to this
High School Last March. Accre-
ditment is granted by the State
superintendent after inspection of
a High School and approval of its
course of study, its daily program,
the professional ability of its tea
chers, its library, laboratory and
general facilities for doing good
work.
Accreditment of four year
High School certities it's graduates
to any of our State Schools of
higher learning. 1t means that
the High School has adjusted its
work to the colleges supported by
the state.

Another item of satisfactory gain
is the library reading by the grade
children. For three years the ad-
ditions to the School Library have
been mainly books adapted in sub.
ject matter and interest to the Ca
pacities of scholars in the Inter-
mediate and Primary Grades.
The books chosen for this use have
been varied: stories, biography,
history, science; but always the
diction, style aud material has
been suited to the capacity and in
terest of the children in these de-
partments,
The teachers have used these
books in part rs supplemental
reading matter to aid the children
who had difficulty in keeping up
with their reading classes. The
chief use has been to create and
satisfy healthy interest in va
ried field of child interest. Care
full records have been kept by the
teachers of Grades | to VII and
these show the following results for
this school year:
Grade | read 500 books it's
average enrolment has been 81.
The average library record of this
grade is nearly IA books 10 the
scholar. No library books were
used by this grade in September
and October, for these months were
used in learning the first steps in
reading.
Grade II read 359 books; its
average strength has been 20.
The reading record per scholar is
over 13 books.
Grade III read 377 books its
enrolment is sS; its reading aver
age is about 10 books.
Grade ~ read 342 books; grade
strength is 50; giving an average
of over books per member.
Grade V read 564 books aver.
age membership "a, which gives a
record of over % books per scholar.
Grade VI read 440 books /; it's en-
rollment is 23, giving an average
record of 19.
Grade VII reads reference ma
terial more than the lower classes
and makes reports IN Geography
and History recitations. These
reports vary in number from 10
to Is per month in a class of II
members.
The grade teachers have Loyalty
supported the plan Of library read
ing for their pupils and to them is
due the credit for the strong record
