Five Census E n u m e rators H ave Sent In Their R e p o rts; Star W ill Give Final C ount T h a t East H a m p ton H igh School is rapidly grow in g larger is evidenc ed by the statistics from the annual report fo r the school year, 1924-25, as com p a red with that o f tw o years ago, 1922-23. T h e total num b e r o f pupils registered in the latter year was 6 4 0 ; during the year 1924-25 the num b e r w a s 733. The average daily attendance o f pupils in 1922- 23 w a s 5 3 6 ; in 1924-25 it w a s 603. The academ ic registration in 1922- 23 was 111 and in 1924-25, 171. This m eans that in three years there has been an increase o f sixty -fou r per cent in the num b e r o f pupils w h o have been registered in the upper fo u r years o f the school. This large increase is due in part to the new ju n ior high school arrangem e n t, with its flexible arrangem e n t and half year prom o tions, allow in g those pu pils w h o are able to do so to under take high school or academ ic w o r k at an earlier date than they w o u ld have been able to under the old plan. N a turally Jit w o u ld be expected that the teach in g fo r c e w ould in crease w ith the increased registra tion , and so it has. In 1922-23 there w e r e tw e n ty-three teachers engaged fo r the fu ll tim e and one on part tim e ; in 1924-25 there w e re tw e n ty- seven teachers engaged fo r fu ll tim e w o rk. Results o f Exam inations The results o f the exam inations last w e e k at the high school showed abou t the same percentage o f pupils passing as usual, w ith the exception o f tw o o f the exam inations, in which a large percentage failed. It is the opinion o f the teachers th a t this was caused b y the difficulty o f the ex am inations. This was substantiated in the case o f the elem e n tary algebra exam ination, in w h ich on ly five pass ed out o f tw e n ty-seven, through a letter receiv e d last Sunday from* the state departm e n t o f education. The failu r e s in this su b ject w e re so m a n y throughout the state and the pro tests so num e rous that the depart m e n t notified the schools that all pu pils should be passed in elem entary algebra w h o had m a intained passing grades throughout the year. This an n o u n c e m e n t m eans that the follow in g pupils w h o failed the exam ination in elem e n tary algebra and expected to take the su b ject over again in the fa ll w ill be credited with that su b ject, although their nam e s do n o t appear am o n g those passing the exam ina tions in the fo ll o w in g lists: A d a Adam s, H ilm a A n d e r s o n , B e v erly B a k e r, Edna M ae B e n n e tt, B a rbara B o u g h ton, Lillian Conklin, Catherine C o o p e r , M in t e d Fischer, A lice Fithian, C o o lidge H a n d , Helen L o p e r, F loren c e R o s s, Edward Strong, G u ido Brigiani. T h e certification o f these pupils in algebra effects also the num b e r who are entitled to diplom a s as gradu ates from the ju n ior high school. T h o s e w h o receiv e d these diplom a s last F r id a y ' night at the graduation exercises w e r e : H ilm a A n d e r son, H elen C r a p ser, A lice D o m iny, Thom a s G a y , W illiam G rainger, H e len L o p e r , D o r o thy R y a n , H a zel Savage, Raym o n d Sm ith and H e lena Tiffany.

They need help, especially the w om en and children, w h o suffer from lack o f p r o p e r care. They depend on this help and are gratefu l fo r it. The A r a b w om en are ,v e r y industrious and do m ost beautiful w o rk. Their m aterials are hand-spun and hand- w o v e n and richly em b roidered in age-old A r a b patterns. M rs. H e r ter has arranged to send over som e o f their w o r k , knowing that it w ill appeal to all w h o see it.

W ith great difficulty Mrs. H arter was also able to secure som e very rare and m a rvelous A r a b w e d d ing gow n s , with their trousers, bonnets and veils.

In the process o f edu cation books are only a m eans to an end. E d u cation is a discipline which should result in self restraint. W hen this goal has been reached it is the duty o f the individual to give his services to help others to gain self re straint.
