As the represen- tative of the Quincy High School, why should not everyone wish to take it ? Are our aspirations too high ? Are you not interested in tlie school ? Certainly, every pupil desires to take it. It contains the school news and the best literary works of the pupils. We need every subscription we can obtain, and each scholar ought to help. Let us take for our motto, “ Loyalty to Our School.” P. There has been a decided change in the course of study prepared for the High School pupils. Formerly, pupils were not fitted for college, but under the recent change the school is now a preparatory school, and a number are fitting themselves for different colleges. The business course is another additional course. This course is just as thorough as any given at our best business col- leges. Stenography, typewriting and book-keeping are taught by an experienced teacher. Better work in physics and chemistry is expected from the use of the finely equipped laboratories. We have received in former days unlimited praise from competent critics upon the system of teaching in our High School, and we were justly proud of our renown, but now we are in danger of becom- ing too much puffed up. Our doors are swung wide open to all who desire to examine our system or work, for we feel confident success will crown our efforts. B. There have been some changes and additions made in our corps of teachers this year. We still retain our last year’s teachers with the ex- ception of Mr. Winfred C. Akers, who, with many good wishes from us, has left to accept a position at the Manual Training High School, Providence, Rhode Island. We wel- comed Miss Helen L. Follansbee, from the High School, Danvers, Massachusetts, as teacher of the business course, and Mr. Charles W. Savage, B. S. ’91, M. S. ’93, from Wesleyan University, Middleton, Connecticut, as teacher of the science course. With such in- structors we expect to do the best of work. P.
