Superintendent McDaniel had- charge of opening exercises yesterday morning. He read several selections, or stories, on the sympathy entertained by some people for others. The stories were supposed to have been true, and while they were interesting, at the same time they were Instructive. Some one broke down the shelf In the laboratory; broke an arm off one of the desks in the history recitation room and spilled ink on the steps. Mr, McElroy, aided by the faculty, as yet have been unable to find out who did It. He stated yesterday morning that the persons who did these things should see him and then remedy the matter. This is the last month of the first semester. After this month the final examinations will be given and all pupils whose grades are below 90 per cent will have to take the finals. Last year the rule was that all students under 90 per cent In deportment had to take the finale, but this year the rule has been changed and now one will have to be above 90 per cent in the subject to make him exempt from tak Ing the finals In that subject. Every student has this month at hand to work his grade up to the standard.
