A* fp£ ii I Oril PUBWC SCHOOLS. £l)ORT of the Public SCIIOOIN for the Month. February 5, 1895, the semi-annual Amotions were made. This "is the ^ird-year for this plan, and in many Wys it is proving an excelled one. It wits a noticeable feature of the Movements this year that almost all of each^lass were advanced not only was the^fpneral average of scholar ship higher than formally, but very few were so low in scholarship that they could not be promoted. In other •words, these frequent adjustments tkave developed classes of essentially jxtuform ability classes that can ad vance upon new ground, abreast, pupil with pupil. From January 28 to February 2 !$he regular work of the upper grades j.sias laid aside, while the pupils 'wrestled with the State Examina tions from that time ur.til the six tenth it was teachers versus State Ex aminations. The reports are now sent, in and a decided feeling qf re lief is evident. The record is 8 per better than that of last year, averag ing 2.4 certificates to each pupil un hdertakipg the work. Furthermore, the subjects are all of the more substantial character this year, not of the lighter sort that count but do not represent very much actual work. The grades gained are very de cidedly higher, another proof that the general scholarship is improving, February 6 Mr. Town gave the pupils of the upper grades an occount of the capture of Vicksburg as he himself saw it. The description was not only vivid, and instructive on gen eral points but was filled with little points of much value that we of the younger generation can never get by reading, but only by listing to those who have themselves gone through the experiences. The school thor oughly appreciated Mr.V Town's ad dress and expects to call upon him afjain. 'The flag-rope has been fixed We hope it will stay fixed iin. good oiled^ pine floor has .taken the place of the broken, cement floor in the dinner room. Those bring their dinners will lfbw have a cleaner, pleasanter place in which to spend the noon. A slight change is planned in the heating flues which, it is hopetfj will make it easier to keep the west of the building comfortable on windy days. The schools contributed $6.14 and eleven packages of clothing to the South Dakota sufferers. Venetion blinds have been put in to room 4 and 9, neatly improving the lighting in these rooms. Quite an order of school supples and apparatus came recently, includ ing several microscopes. The work in Botany this term is along a some what new line, and is making much use of these instruments. The class in Chemistry is also doing regular work in the laboratory, while the class in Physics is there frequently. The following pupils have been perfect in their attendance from the time they entered school until the close of the first term—neither ab sent or tardy. The first term ended January 25,1895: Room 1—^fiss Bateman—WTalter Anton, Victor Strom. 43 not tardy since entering. Room 2—Miss Gaarder—.-Barlow Thurber, Frank Sanford, Amy Forbes.
