LAmeri' nd will An Anvsncs representative had a. very enjoyable visit in the West Ward school last week. Here a. visitor is. greeted by many happy faces and receives a. hearty welcome. These pleasant features are suicient in themselves to attract more visitors` than are accustomed to interest themselves in calling at the school. If parents would have their children do well in school they should know the teacher-in-school. and the best and most reliable way to obtain this knowledge is to visit the school occasionally. Such a visit will also often add-materially to the parents knowledge of the child-in-school VI... `manna no.4: ll-l|i|l.oI`At4\ I-5 LL- -.__2-....

The teaching In connection with these subjects illustrated the sincerity of the teacher, and a willing- ness to betaught on the part of the major- ity, at least. of the pupils. The teacher has vet to be heard from who can keep every pupil in a class` intent on work. Some pupils will take mental excursions at the very time they should not. and thus bring annoyance to the teacher and more indus- trious pupils.

The absence of noise in the class rooms, the hasty yet orderlv dismissal at recess, and the speedy re drill all the pupils being out of the school in one minute and without confusion, indicate that pupils are taught to move with precision and to keep in their proper places. thus respecting the rights of one another. `I,;, , 1 I `II II ULIC GIJUIJIJCL 0 The -ventilation and cleanliness of the school are very commendable features. Cleanliness and tidiness are taught practi- cally, for boys and girls are compelled to keep their part of the floor free from paper or litter. and to arrange their books tidily in their desks. Care is also taken that pupils do not wantonly destroy their text books. Caretaker Wooding has the lawns, yards and walks clean and in good order. The annual meeting of members of the Public Library was held on Monday night, and was very largely attended. BOARD OF MANAGEMENT REPORT. The report of the Board of Management shows that the membership declined during the year from 357 to 280. and membership fees from $340.50 to $267 25. The legisla- tive grant increased from $188.25 to $210, and the rest of the deciency was made up by increased revenue from renting the up- stair parlor and rooms. $189 was spent for new books and $22 05 for binding. The lia- bilities of the Library are $125 for note in Bank of Uommerce, and a mortgage of $2.- 000 bearing 61]; per cent interest, on the prem- ises. In consideration of a municipal gr ant of $150 the reading -rooms are free. There are 3 daily newspapers, 7 Weeklies, and 23 periodicals and magazines.
