Since the publication of 'our first annual great progress has been made iryevery phase of school work. it the last two years we have been gradually moving toward an ideal, that of making our school equal with, if not better than other schools and at least to have a standard school. We feel that we are nearer to that goal than ever before, for in the essential subjects, mathematics, science, English and history we have succeeded in turn- ing out scholars whose knowledge in these studies was almcst com- plete: in mathematics a full credit obtained by all our class, whereas before some of our scholars failed to receive the required amount of mathematical work. The English work of the last years, has been steadily improving. The classes now recieve full work in this line and a thorough and complete perusal of all the classics and rhetoric work is made. Thework in science is up in full. In connection with the scientific work the physical apparatus was moved to another and bet- ter room where it was placed on a more efficient and organized basis, so it now serves as a potent factor in scientific work anddemonstra- tions. The history work also is complete in every detail. , MARK W. BILLS. Y'
