SCHOOL MATTERS OF INTERESTTO NARBERTH CITIZENSOur Boa rd of

a monthly report from the pr inc ipa lof the scbools. Thi s wri

improvement of the schools. It is arranged under the foHowlng
se'etlons:General, Statistical and Financial;Suggestions to

Parents Complain."A t tlte open ing of th e term com;.p la in t
was ent er ed b ecau se o f what.parents considered "unfair
grading."These matters took time and patience, bu t by personal
interview withparents every cas e, a s fa r as we ar eaware , was
settled to the satisfactionof both par t ies. The trouble
generallylay, no t in improper grading, bu t ina lack of
understanding t he condi tions by th e parents. If parents wouldin
all cases go directly t o t he principa l al1 misunderstandings
could beadjus te d. Very p le asan t and b el pfulinterviews were

b oard and their frequent appearance at th e school ar egreatly
appreciated by th e principaland the t ea ch er s. T hi s s am e
spiritof co-operation is manifested by th epupils, t ea cher s and
