The work that has been accomplished during this time seems to be eminently satisfactory; but never so good however that we do not hope to do better during the last half. The standard of scholarship in our school seems to be especially high. This is not said in a spirit of boasting but is shown by actual statistics. A new plan has been adopted that those who make a monthly average of 90 per cent may be excused from the mid year and final examinations. In making the report we find this to be true: Over 25 per cent of all the pupils are excused from all examinations. Over 64 per cent are excused from at least one examination, and over 45 per cent are excused from more than one examination. We are not saying that the progress of the pupil is estimated entirely by the grade secured, but this is at least an index to the work done. All should have great respect and sympathy for the slow pupil. He is the one who will succeed in the end if he will but faithfully apply himself. All of our pupils deserve worthy mention but we give here only a list of those who were excused from all examinations: Maude Kelly, Robert Johnson, Louie Painter, Max Witherbee, Myron Smith, Hilder Bentson, Ethel Saylor, Edna McKibben. =================================================== Contributed for use by the USGenWeb Archive Project (http://www.usgenweb.org) and by the COGenWeb Archive Project USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organization or persons.
