junior High School Notes.

The following is intended as an ex
PLANTATION of the marking and credit sys
tenn of the junior high school:
| The school credit hour Is simply an
other name for the 40-minute period
For graduation it is necessary that {
pupil have credits per week for each Of
the four years, so that when added ny
their sum will be 20 credits.
possible to obtain good percentage il
a subject, but will be able to
do very much better in another sub
ject. The marking system takes advan.
tage of this for the pupils benefit. Fail.
ure in a subject would usually mean to
repeat it.
The subjects credits by years are as
follows: lst year. boys, Is, girls 10; sec
ond year, boys II, girls IL; third year,
boys 81, girls 10; fourth year, boys 81,
girls 10; total, boys, rs, girls 49,
Report cards are issued for every nine
week period and the marks are as fol-
lows: A, 90 to 100 per cent; B, 81 to 90
per cent; G, "a to SO per cent; d, so to IA
per cent; E, 65 to so per. cent; f, fail
ure.
Parents should look cards over very
carefully Teachers will be pleased to
talk with parents concerning school work.
Especially note references on application
and department.
A grade of G gives a subject its exact
credit according to number of hours per
week; A grade of adds Is per cent
credit; A grade of A adds 25 per cent
A grade of d subtracts Is per cent cred
it; A grade of Z subtracts % per cent
The following will illustrate the above
in regard to a subject.
Harry Miller gets A in English, which
normally or at G grade has four hours
credit per week since it comes four hours
per week. A grade in English equals
four plus 25 per cent of or five credits
If he had d in English, he would realize
four less Is per cent of four, or "a
credits. Similarity for other subjects.
From this it will be seen how pupil
may make up for poor grade in one sub
subject by holding better than fair
grade in another subject.

aneholc Irish soldier in the second act
Mr.. Cullen, who is Irish born, has a
brogue that is pure music. He rolls his
speeches out with a Tilt that is positively
melodious and Miss Ryan, who is Irish
herself and who used an Irish brogue
in Peg so long that it became almost
second nature to her, declares that the
impulse to "come back" at Cullen in his
own manner o. speakin'" is almost
irresistible. At one or two perform
ances when in particular high spirits, she
has done so once or twice and the audi
enee has risen to the occasion with great
applause. OF course the dialect called
for by her role is pure Cockney and one
of her most comic effects is achieved by
singing of few bars of "The Wearing
of the Green" in that curiously. nasal
speech.-adv.

the most difficult scenes she is called upon
to play in that moving drama of the

denoted a degree of uneasiness arising
from latest developments affecting this
country's relations with Germany, ship

under last weeks final prices. Rallies
occurred almost Immediately on heavy
