ATHENS HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

MID-TERM EXAMINATIONS, PROMOTIONS AND EXAMINATIONS FOR 1ST TERM

  This week closes the first term of four and one-half months in
the Athens school.  Thursday and Friday will be used in giving the
mid-term examinations.  Notwithstanding the crowded condition of 
the school, a splendid half year's work has been done and the number
of failures are few as compared to the same time last year.  The
teachers are unanimous in the belief that every child who has come
regularly will pass.  Practically all the failures will be among
those pupils who have been often absent from recitation and who
have missed a great deal of the class work.
  The high seventh grade, of some twenty-five pupils, will be
promoted to the eighth and transferred to the high school.  This
will increase the high school enrollment to about one hundred and
seventy-five, and will give an extra recitation to each high school
teacher.  Last year our high school enrolled for the first term just
a few over a hundred and now we are getting to nearly double that
number.  But Athens High School ought to have two hundred and fifty
pupils at least, and hopes to have them by next year.

Exemptions

  In order to be exempt from examination a pupil must make a general 
average, upon daily recitation, examinations, and note book work, of
not less than eighty-five and must have A in deportment, that is, his
deportment grade must not be below ninety.  Many of the pupils who are
taking the examinations are doing so because of low conduct grades;
many other because of starting late in the season.  Some because of the
lack of former training and preparation for the work, and some because
of an indifferent attitude towards the school and of common old no 
account laziness.
  The following pupils are exempt in one or more subjects and are
enjoying a couple of holidays, as well as having the satisfaction of
having done their work well.
  The first and second grades do not take written examinations and so
are not included under the rule of exemptions.
