PROMOTIONS. Pupils are promoted on the basis of proficiency. In daily class work, a series of not less than four written reviews, and a final examination at the end of each term, they must attain an average of 76 per cent., and not fall below an average of 65 per cent., in any study. If, however, the teacher is satisfied that from any disability a pupil has not done himself justice and that to keep him longer in a grade would be an injustice and a discourage- ment, then, upon approval of the principal, the pupil may be allowed to ad- vance on trial to the next grade. Grade promotions are made annually in September. Alexander Herrel Sons TONSORIAL PARLORS is the place for a fine shave and a stylish hair cut.
