A' small explanation will clear any mis- construed ideas of the Public School. It is due you---it is due us. Let us retrospect for three and a half years. Conditions in Dryden were "such that pupils were housed in various buildings too small tr accom-~ even ont years of ho " Toe tien tiie other teachers in the old Public Schoo! were overloaded with two or three classes. The brighter pupils ad- vanced,- the duller ones remained, often in a higher grade than they should have heen. On the opening of the new school in February 1922, these were the handi- caps we faced. The problem was to get these big and old pupils through Entrance. As conditions were, it meant that Dryden would require eight vears to produce an Entrance Class of forty pupils. We must be content to wait patiently for he little tots com- ing in in September of the same year I to form a brilliant Entrance Class. Our : problem was to advance with the present pupils under our guidance. What has been our pro- gress? Since the opening of the school three and a half years ago, we have searched out the Tig pupils. we Vi this year e Sop Book Classes, each of forty pupils. The next year we take the forty best and they form our Third Class, the fol lowing year the Junior Fourth, and then the next, the Entrance. Our goal will be attained: forty pupils in the Entrance Class. Those who reap the results, little shall realize our -up- ward plodding, nor severe criticism. In the Upper Grade of our Entrance Classes over fifty percent have been pupils whom we were compelled to yush through the Third and Fourth Classes in three years time. Had we taken the full four years, we could produce higher standing pupils. Wg were overcrowded; therefore, in justice to new pupils oe =, i pupils the Rtn, tan commencing at eight in the morning. Lock at the present years harvest. The teachers have pushed the pupils all year so that we could advance these pupils into a new book at Easter, in- stead of June, thus allowing other children in the town to begin school life. This caused chaos in all rooms, and owing to the small report in June many parents entertained the wrong idea. Of the Entrance Class of Can be had for Cash or Terms.
