The reports for the second month kvill be given to nil the pupils of the rurlington Graded School tomorrow. \ careful examination of these reports t>y the parents will indicate not only the exact standing of his child in his .?lassos, but also in what direction the , parent should exert himself to help Tils .hild obtain a higher standard of work. All of the teachers are putting forth an earnest effort to make each report j a suggestion tc the parent in what j particular instance his cooperation is most needed. Parents are asked to \ sign these reports after they have carefully examined them with theii child an.l then send them back to the teacher. The reports are then given back to the pupils, and it would be well for them to keep all of their re ports in order to compare with each new one they set. Ask your child to let you see his report wiien he comes from school Wednesday, and then as a friend consider it with him and help him to get a better one next month. H. B. M. Successful Land Sale.
