TEN CENTS PER WEEK TERM OF SCHOOL JUST COMPLETED, SUGGESSFUL The School Board, Superintendent and Teachers Worked Together] Harmoniously, The term of school'closed yes-, terday for the holiday vacation was marked by much good work on the part of both pupils and teachers, and the two weeks’ vacation will be thorougly appre- ciated. Concerning the schools and the present conditions that pre: vail, Superiutendent Ritchie says: “The enrollment is the highest in the history of the schools, there being 802 pupils in attend- ance. Sixty-four students were high school pupils, as against only twelve two years ago last spring. The board, the super- intecdent and teachers have worked together very bharmoun- iously, and much good has re- sulted. g “The pupils have been guite regular in their attendauce However, some are careless in this respect. Many pareats are also careless, in not seeing to it that their children are in the schools. Truancy is almost en- tirely broken up, and tardiness is on the decrease. “Parents do mnot visit the schools often enough, especially at the central building. Four teachers in our small buildings report about as many visitors as the fifieen in our central build ings. Five teachers report no visits whatever from parents. The remainder report twenty- three visitors during“-the- term. 1t parents would visit'the schools more frequeantly, and become better - acquainted with the teachers, fewer misuzderstand- ings would result. But few complaints have been made to the superintendent, and none bave been lodged with the schoel board as a body. Tam planning to have a meeting of the teachers and parents about once a month, hereafter, in the central build- ing. Vital questions may be discussed aud a mutual exchange of opinions made. “Good reading and expression have been emphasized. Now, number work and mathematics are being brought to the fore, | “Literary work in the high school has been a feature of the work this year. The literary society meets once in two weeks, on Friday afternoon, “The present quarters are en- tirely inadequate. The base- ment will have to be used, another year, if a new high school building is not erected. The assembly room is now taxed to We need more room.” Fresh turkeys, chickens,ducks and geese for Xmas at Boyers, 820 Minn. avenue or ’phone 203. Fire atS. C. Bailey’s Residence.
