ATTENDANCE.

The facts upon this subject, it would seem
would be sufficient to produce a reform in
this direction at once, but Notwithstanding
all that has been said and written, many of
our schools average but little more than one
half of the number of different scholar. in at.
tendance. And when We take into account
the tardiness and dismissals, we shall find
that one half of Cur money is lost on this ac-
count alone, and worse than this, only one
hals of the benefit is received that would be
II the attendance was universal and con.
slant.
ENGAGING TEACHERS.
Every district should so far as prac-
ticable secure the labors of good and expert
enced teachers, and when once secured an ef-
fort should be made to retain them as long
as they continue successful. The teacher
would thus become acquainted with the ants
and condition of the school, and could better
adapt his labors to their capacities. And
more than this he would naturally feel a
greater interest in the advancement of those
with whom he had become acquainted than
he could possibly feel for strangers. He
would also realize that responsibility in re-
lation to the intelligence of his pupils rested
upon him to a greater extent than he would
If he knew that at the close of that term his
connection with them would cease forever
No agreement should be made by p,uden-
tial committee with teacher until he has re-
ceiyed license to teach. This would relieve
your superintendent of much embarrass-
ment.
TENT BOOKS.
We fir our schools well supplied with a
uniformity of good text books, suited to the
various capacities of the scholars. For this
We have reason to be grateful to those who
have in time past labored for its accomplish
ment
A similar reform is need in the construc-
ton and furnishing of our school houses, in
the attendance of scholars in the visiting of
the schools by parents, and in every other de-
partment of them. When these reforms are
effected and not till then, shall We realize the
value of our common schools.
Respectfully submitted,
