BELLE STODDARD, Teacher. outlining onr work for the past two months It must be considered that wo have had many serious difficulties to contend against. An overcrowded condition of the school, the uncertain status of many of the pupils, and insuf- ftoiont classification. In these two Booths there have been enrolled 74 pupils, of whom 6 have entered the German school, and at various times 5 have gone to the Eset side school, leav­ ing an enrollment Friday, Oct. 26, of 63 pupils, and a seating capacity for 58 only. To remedy this crowded condi­ tion the board has ordered the transfer of the 4th Reader and Higher Arith­ metic classes, which order transfers 14 scholars, leaving 49 pupils on the roll, with others to enter, This change, however hard It may seem in'some in­ stances, Is clearly for the benefit of the pupils as a whole. It transfers a clas- of children, grown beyond their sur­ roundings here, into the association of older and better scholars. |Those above will help draw them up, and in a year they will learn much more than In two under old conditions, so great is the "power of associations. With the pupils remaining, we hope to do vastly better. Our reading classes will read twice a day. More time will^be given the large Primer class. 15 In number. The pupils will write generally half an hour daily, and we hope the third month of school will count for more than either month gone. It may also be mentioned that the pupils are burdened with a very*) poor Arithmetic, the worst I have ever seen. The other text books are of good .quality and character. The fact that a number of scholars have entered the school only to leave within a little time to enter other in­ stitutions of lemming has had a bad oflfct. And it is to be hoped that the school*lias now assumed a stable char­ acter and that the scholars we have are to stay, and those who expect to enter the school will do so at once. The mat- tor of a prompt and regular attendance upon the school cannot be too strongly urged upon the attention of the public^ Besides this habits of order and regu­ larity, It engenders In the life of the |>rompt and iaithlul student. If parents would only Join more earnestly with the teacher in securing a prompt and general attendance of the pupils, the work ot the school could be materially Improved. - Upon tho Roll of Honor but few names for the last two months can'be reported: George Buss, Lewis peters, Alvah Meade* ; Howard Stevens, Lillie Breyer, ' SMaggie Bonslelt, ©race Stevens, Xuiiua Peters.
