The total number of pupils enrolled
in each of the classes follows:
9th Grade-Boys, SO; girls, rs; to-
tai, 1873.
10th Grade-Boys, 35; girls, so; to-

18th Grade-Boys, 21; girls, 27; to-

The above averages are taken from
the report cards for the months OF
September, October and November,
1923. The number of credits in the
programs are not taken into consider
alton in the above ranks.
1t is a distinct advantage to any
boy or girl to come into competition
with a large group of pupils. The
small school does not give the chance
to be measured by comparison with
others that larger school gives. In
giving the above averages the teach
ers have to take into consideration
the fact that the pupilsare beingftted
for the next step in life. That step
may be Normal School, Summer
School for Teachers or College. In
many cases it means the business
world. In each of these advances the
competition is greater. The honors
and wards become more and more
difficult to secure.
These marks are indicative of the
results that may be expected in higher
institutions of learning.

a woman patient who could not even
keep water on her stomach for fifteen

her up so she could eat absolutely any

unable to digest any food at all. Three
bottles Of Tanlac put him in such fine
