The enrollment of the public school is 259, which 13 eleven more than the highest registration last year. Tans some grade 3 are too large for much individual instruction. When graces are so large, there should be two divisions. However, the lack of (teachers make this impossible ex cept in the first and third grades the largest grades. As the beginning of the year is the only proper 'time, in" a school of this kind, for primary pupils to enroll, we would discourage any par ents who may he contemplating start ing theri children to school now or later ondurtag the year. As no new class can be formed and as the teacher cannot devote much lndivJd ual attention .to such pupils, thej would' derive very little benefit. This means of ventilation have bee) nent and aftford opportunity for'im-wlndow-boards. Thus a contkiuouf mpply of fresh air la secured with jut expoilng any pupils to draughts Thermometers also serve as guides '.o health and comfort. There are very few first-class schools that are not fully equipped with single seats and hyloplate black boards,"and we were disappointed to rind that this was one of the few". Parents should see that their chills-en have these essentials next year. Permit us to remind you that- what Jiost of you could not have is now en economical necessity. - We would impress upon pupils ind parents the difference between 1 passable grade of 80 per cent and a Ideal grade of 95 per cent. The .'ormer standing is the one most "jommomly received, and in a large .neasure accounts or eo many short :oraings in 'the affairs of every day ife. In view of the foregoing we vdmire the stand taken toy those par ents who have to'.d their 'children hat they cannot leave the public ichool on minimum grades. Mrs. W. R.
