seventh grade. This ought to make
a good sized class for next year. For
the most part these will have only
the eighth grade to pass on next
year, so the most of them ought to
get through all right. | wish them
success.
But there are a few who tried who
did not succeed. There were 1876
more that took the examinations. /
hope that they will not get so ex-
cited on examination day, and will be
successful next spring. The most Of
these failures we're caused by short
terms, little equipment, and poor
teaching. But as all of these are
steadily being improved, we shall ex-
pect fewer failures in the future.
Yours in the interest of better rural
schools, W. CLYDE JOHNSON.
