                 Room No. 5 - Primary Department
                   Miss Lizzie Hayes, Teacher

The number of pupils attending during the last month of school was 63.
About the beginning of the spring term it was deemed advisable to put the
more advanced class of this room into the Second Reader. This class 
numbers 31, and is ready to pass to room No. 4. It is the only class
promoted to another department that is supplied with the proper reader -
the Second Reader belonging to room No. 4. Below are the names of pupils
constituting this class:

Flora Buhse        Kittie Hamilton      Charles Louiseau   Albert Simonis       
Minnie Cole        John Hanson          John Maloney       Minnie Springer          
Emma Daegler       Willie Kahlenberg    Charles Miller     Adeline Stout  
August Draeger     Hulda Kasson         Sarah Miller       Freddie Thuss
Emma Gablowski     Jos. Kaufmann        Amelia Niemann     Emile Wagner    
George Gagnon      Carl Kirst           Oxle Peterson      Anna Wilker

                       Room No. 6 - Kindergarten
                       Miss Jo. Arnstein, Teacher

Promotions have been made two or three times during the year from this 
room to the Primary Department. The plan pursued has been to promote
pupils as soon as they were able to read reasonably well in the Union
Primer. The most advanced pupils in this room will be transferred to the
Primary, so as to divide the work equally between the two departments.
                       ___________________________

During the past year I have been so situated that it was impossible to
fully attend to the monthly examination and grading of classes. Having no
assistant to leave in charge of the room, I could not leave it, but for a
limited time, without dismissing my pupils; consequently little was done
in the line of examination of classes except what was done out of regular
school hours.
This year I shall adhere closely to a plan of regular monthly and term
examination of classes, and pupils will have to attain a certain standard
to retain their position in their classes
Pupils that were not present at the close of last year will have to be
examined and assigned to the proper grade when they make their appearance
for school.
It would be well if some plan could be devised that would accomplish this
work, or a portion of it at least, before the time for opening school.
