HOME WORK.

Mr R. Thomas, headmaster of the Norfolk Road School, wrote in reference to tile complaints that he had been requesting the scholars of his school to do excessive home work. He stated that the minimum expected was one page of written work, including arithmetic or composition but not both on the same night. The rules of the arithmetic were previously taught in school and the matter of the Composition was thoroughly explained. No home worK was given as punishment.

It was decided to. forward this let ter to the School Committee with an explanatory letter stating that the Board was satisfied with the teacher s statement.
