and eighth grades are taking advan-
tage Of the opportunities offered them
this year in the high SCHOOL work. We
have enrolled in the Domestic Science
department "a girls from the seventh
and eighth grades; in the Manual
Training 81 seventh and eighth grade
boys. while 35 of these people are en-
rolled in the French classes. From this
enrolment you can get an idea of the
attitude of the seventh and eighth
grade pupils toward the high school
work.
Particular attention is being given to
the essential subjects and less time to
the non essentials. The work of the
industrial departments is being urged
upon the boys and girls rather than the
non- essential language and educational
courses.
We are also offering for the first time
systematic physical training for the
boys and girls of the high schools. This
work is being done under the erect
supervision of competent Instructor,
who has had special training along this
line. The course at present is elective
in the high schools, but we find that
the majority of the high school girls
have enrolled for the course. II your

that she Immediately enrolls for the

In order that the children may get
the greatest amount of good possible
from the school work, see that they are
absent as little as possible and that
they get to school in the mornings and
at noon on time. Do not keep them
out of school unless it is absolutely
necessary, and do not give your per-
mission for them to be absent when
they have no sufficient reason for wish
ing to stay out. You win greatly as
sist the teachers if, when your child
has been absent or tardy, you will send
the teacher a written excuse for same.
Please remember this for it is neces-
sary for the child to bring an excuse
from home upon his return to school.
II you desire to have your child ex-
cused from school during the day
