Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Just one word...

...in my Father's school report of 1925 has me baffled!
Can anyone assist with deciphering the last word in the phrase: "He is a bright boy, keen on his work & intelligent in
?"
I've racked my brains to determine what it might be, no doubt it will be obvious when someone resolves it!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll try contacting the newspaper or library directly as the Slough Library online search is a bit clunky and doesn't return any meaningful results.

Berkshire / Slough Observer Newspaper Archive
« on: Thursday 18 January 24 17:57 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone please suggest where I might be able to view an online copy or order a hard copy of the June 1st 1984 edition of what was just called 'The Observer' back then but I believe is now The Slough Observer? I've had no luck finding a means to access it.
I have a poor photocopy of an article on Tom Brown Tailors of Eton from that issue but the photographs are too dark to be visible and it's one of those I need.
