Students may not enter these Sum-

dians unless recommended by the
teacher or principal in the school
where they have been attending regu-

students in the public and private

pupils are eligible upon the same basis
as are those from within the system.
No pupil is permitted to attend Sum-

ance is also strictly enjoined, since
Summer schools are for the earnest
and the attentive. Set at fast tempo,
there is no room in them for those who
are mischief makers or dawdlers.

vide that pupils ab-ent three days in

illness, or similar emergency, may be
required to take an examination be-
fore being given permission to re-
enter classes.
Summer school classes in the public
schools begin at $50 am. and run

session. or three If such subjects are
given less than the equivalent of five

Rating of Students.
Students are rated A, B, C, D and
F in their work. A grade F means
that the student has failed or been
unsatisfactory in that which he has
undertaken and no credit can be
given for the course. The percentage
of failures for Summer school work
is an extremely small one. for pupils
who give up precious vacation hours
for school work are usually very much
in earnest.
The teachers in the Summer ses-
sions are selected from the regular
corps because of their teaching skill
and special fitness for Summer school
work

"At long last I am able to say
a few words of my own. | have
never wanted to withhold any
thing. But, until now, it has not
been constitutionally possible for
me to speak. A few hours ago /
discharged my last duty as King
and Emperor and now that / have
been succeeded by my brother,
the Duke of York, my first words
must be to declare my allegiance
to him. This | do with all my
heart.

which have impelled me to re-
nounce the throne. But l want
YOU to understand that in making
up my mind, / didn't forget the
country or the empire which, as
Prince of Wales and lately as
King, for 25 years tried to serve;
But you must believe me when
tell you that | have found it i'm
possible to carry the heavy bur-
den of responsibility and dis
charge my duties as king as
would wish to do, without the
help and support of the woman l
love.
"And I want you to know that
the decision / have made has been
mine and mine alone. This was q
thing l had to judge entirely for
myself. The other person most
nearly concerned has tried up to
the last to persuade me to take a
different course. ! have made this
decision, the most serious of my
life, only upon the single thought
of what would in the end be best
for all.
"This decision has been made
less difficult to me by the sure
knowledge that my brother with
his long training in the public af-

fine qualities will be able to take
my place forthwith without inter,
ruption or injury to the life and
