Notes
May L. Stewart. Commissioner

Returns from the mid-year test of
Jan. 1918 were complete sometime ago
but the loss Of one or two of the re-
ports and an extra amount of work has
somewhat delayed this summary. There
were this year very few schools with
low averages and larger number with
very good returns. The great bulk of
the returns were so nearly even that it
is difficult to make a comparative
study. This is however good fault.
Schools having grand averages above
80 per cent are as follows: Springvale
school, average go per cent, teacher
Miss Ruth White. Mackie school, aver
age 91.5 per cent, teacher-A. E. STAN
china. 1-2 grades of st. James, 80 per
cent, teacher-Sr. Veritas. Mountain
school, average 81 per cent, teacher
Catherine LaLonde: Clarion Primary
room, average 95 per cent, teacher
Mona Bardwell. Cedar Valley, aver
age 9l.4 per cent, teacher-Irene Muir
ply.
Schools with averages above IS per
cent and below 81 per cent are: Now
land, Curfew, Walloon Lake, Howard,
johnson, Davis, Hoffman, Three Bells,
Gill, ST. James grammar grades), Sud-
man, Cramer, Ironton Primary, Wild
wood, Bay Shore, Polish, Boyne Falls
intermediate grades, Sunnyside.
There were many individual pupils
who did very excellent work, some of
them not included in the enrollments of
the above list of good schools. Short
ness Of space will not allow all of the
good records to be published nor will it
permit of the names of schools in these
cases, grades, ages and other details.
Suffice it to say that the record is
much better than it has been at any
previous time and the list of excellant
averages is just three times as long as
it was last year The following re-
ceived school averages in all subjects
above 95 per cent on the mid-year
tests

children have been neither absent nor
tardy for five months, and the roads?
Sometimes they were minus quantity.
Thru some fault of fate or fact the
Chandler spelling contest was omitted
from the notes. The Com'r is grateful
to the kind bluebird that informed her
of this oversight and only wishes that
the bluebird had been near In Decem.

songs. Decorations were in red, white
