 For the benefit of those who:~ wish to know the facts in the case, wish to explain why the graduation of the eighth grade, of the public schools was in the hall of the Episcopal church. | ..c. :, l This was 8 class of over thirty mem bers. The assembly room of the high school was not large enough to: have accommodated them with. their parents and, friends. It. seemed inadvisable to go to Memorial hall as was done last year. There is no other public hall and the charges for other places were higher than an occasion of that kind demanded
 I conferred with the teachers about this and it was decided that the hall of the Episcopal church would be a suitable place. The teachers then asked their pupils if it would be satis- factory with them to go to the church and at the same time instructed them to inquire of their parents if it wonld be satisfactory with them and their parents. We then made arrangements to use the hall of the Episcopal church: ,.~.' This is the. fairest way to all con- oerned that the question could have been decided. Furthermore, in the absence' of a meeting of the school committee, it is within the field of my administrative duties to take action in SO far as did %.-@

 The following table gives the results of tests in the four Fundamentals of arithmetic. It is 50 arranged as to show what has been accomplished in this subject in one year, in all the public schools of; the toWn.1 The same tests were given at about the same time in the year, both last year and this: year. The accomplishment in each grade this year was about equal to that of one grade higher last year.
 These tests consisted of simple exercises in addition, substraction, multiplication and division as arranged by. MT. Courtis ot the Detroit public schools. The same tests have been used in many oities and towns in various states. By these tests our schools rank among the best.
