ing to make up failing subjects,
should at the opening of school file
with the superintendent a written
statement showing the amount of
time devoted TO this special work,
the books studied and pages covered
in each, and in case the work was
taken under an instructor or a tutor,
in addition to the above, a state
ment should be given as to the
quality Of work done and degree Of
progress attained, signed by said

Children will be admitted to the
kindergarten in the order of the ap-
plications, up to the limit Of the
capacity Of the kindergarten. No
child will be admitted to the kinder
garten who will not have passed his
fifth birthday by the end Of the first

On the south side of the railroad
all pupils below the firth grade will
- attend the South Ward School. Those
in the fifth grade or above will at
tend Central School. The dividing
line between the East and the West
Ward schools will be placed where
ever necessary to equalize the school
enrolment in the two schools.
Several changes have been made in
the high school gymnasium which
Will improve 1t for the players as
well as the spectators. The floor has
been gone over, the bulges taken out
and new flooring put in wherever
necessary, and the whole floor
planned. The cause of the trouble,
namely a leaky return pipe, has been
removed. The railing around the
balcony has been cut down and a
pipe railing substituted thus making
It possible for the spectators to see
better. Also bleachers have been
put in on the floor and In the bal
cony which will make it possible for
US to accommodate comfortably q
much larger crowd than has been
possible heretofore. We believe that
this will bring larger crowds to the
basketball games and. make this
sport in the high school self-sup-
porting.
Graduates Of the high school who
wish transcripts Of their credits for
the purpose of entering university or
college may secure them by making
