Letter From the Superiatetidafik * To Our Patrons; The second quarterly examinations in the high school trill fee given on £§n.'27 and 28. This date will mark lb* end of the first half of the school 3*ar and it quite essential that students whose grades were low on the ftrst examination, should endeavor to; make sufficiently high grades to raise their average up to standard for the j first semester. Unless this is done it j will be difficult to make high enough | grades during the second semester to receive credit for their work at the end of the year. Every high school student of average ability should put in at least an hour and a half of home study each school evening. Unless he does so he •annot hope to do average work in school. Weak students should, of urse, put in more time. The teachers 'can supervise the home study only indirectly. It therefore devolves upon the parents to see that it is done. May we not urge upon each parent to see that his boy or girl puts in the required amount of time ,each 3chool evening, and, should his grades for last quarter have been low, ee that he puts in an additional hour or so until after examination. We shall be pleased to give to any parent an estimate of the work his boy or girl is doing in school should he make inquiry. Yours very truly, Oswell G. Treadway. General Parents are requested to guard their children against exposure" to scarlet fever and to report any suspected cases to the superintendent. Catalogues from the better universities and colleges of Illinois and elsewhere. are being received and are placed on the library shelves available for anyone who wishes to consult them. Varina Wentworth has registered as a special student in the high school for the purpose of doing some work in stenography and typewriting. We are glad to be able to be of service to any of our "grads." The scientific apparatus belonging to the Ringwood high school has been purchased by the community high school and was brought down Tuesday. Several desirable pieces were thereby added to our laboratory equipment. A game of basket ball has beat arranged for to be played in Richmond against the high school team there next Friday evening. The Richmond team called off our return game with them last year and this is to be played in lieu of that game. It is unfortOnate that the high school does not have a gym this year, as there is some very good material for a basket ball earn this year. \ The bookkeeping dass is deserving of special mention. By the end of the semester it shall have completed all the work which has heretofore been done as bookkeeping I and which has taken a whole year to complete. The class will begin the regular bookkeeping II course the second semester. This is only one illustration of what can be accomplished when the proper amount of time and equipment is at the disposal of the teacher. The McHenry community high school library now consists of 410 volumes, all new and carefully selected for high school reading and reference. It will be remembered that the community board did not take oyer the library of the public school, it being considered the better plan to purchase altogether new and more up-to-date books. The high school, however, has been given access to the public school library, which contains in all about 800 volumes. Freshman Notes Viola Leach visited school Tuesday Afternoon.
