Educational.

Last week the county supervisors OF common
srhoals met at Augusta, and fourteen counties
were represented. The following subjects were
discussed. 1st, The wants Of the schools in
each county. ID, How can these wants be best
supplied, II was thought best that the super
yisors work with the experimenting school COM
mittees, with parents and teachers, in the
schools and public meetings. Sd, To what cI-
tent shall the common school studies be pursued
In our schoolsl 4th, The best methods Of teach
ing. including spelling, reading. writing. draw
ing, geography, history. arithmetic and gram
mar. 9th, How shall the county institutes be
eonductedt The act Of the last legislature pro-
,ides that county institute be held for ten
days annually in each county. under the direc-
ton Of the supervisors, to prepare teachers Tor
their work, and the board at this session aPpro-
we'd Of the plan Of graded certificates; J, e., each
teacher to receive certificate indicating their
qualifications in the several branches taught in
our common schools.
II will not be found possible for the superyis-
or TO visit each school in the county during the
year, but he will attend 10 the most important
We understand that their work Is TO commence
Immediately, and supervisor Millikin viii hr''
visit the schools in Dayton. A movement has
been made in the right direction. and we oonfi'
IDENTIFY expect that our educational interests will
reap large and desirable results from the new
system. Il is to be hoped that teachers. school
agents and superintendent will keep themselves
In communication with the supervisor, (address,
c. II. Millikin, Saco) and feel perfectly free to
suggest desirable improvements as well as to
call his attention to matters requiring his no
tice. We hope the friends Of education in this
county will not neglect this suggestion. School
agents are requested to notify the supervisor oil
the commencement and close Of each school I'M
der their supervision. We have placed the
columns Of the JOURNAL at the disposal Of Mr..
Millkin for such Suggestions as he may deem
necessary to make public. During the Sum-
mer and Fall, as may seem necessary, the SUI
peryisor will call meetings Of teachers, agents,
and others interested for consultation Of the
hest measures to be used for the promotion OF
educational interests. .....-... ....
