It is quite possible that the present overcrowded condition of the school may be only temporary; although it may be said (without any attempt at flattery) that the efficiency of the High School teaching staff will guar- antee the continued popularity of the school. : At present the only test of success in a school is the /standing attained by the pupils in examinations...
