Our scale runs from one to ten; one
being the lowest, and ten the highest.
At the request of some of the parents
of the district. we have prepared, and
had published the above report.
Some. no doubt, will regret MAT they
are marked 50 low inatlle scales ct lis<s
tice compelled us to mark them there.
And our best wish is that the chagrin
experienced in reading this report,
will have the effect to render their con-
duet, 1T the next term of school. so
commendablc, as not only to place
them higher. but the highest in the
scale. 5G 5HiE -F= - i5ss !,G,@ vzs 3
Although much might have been
done that was not, by parents, scholars,
and perhaps teacher, necessary to have
made the school pleasant, interesting,
and useful, nevertheless we are promp-
ted to say, that the last term of school
was not without its enjoy ments and
its benefits.
Being a parent in the Edistriet,. we
take tie privilege to say the following !:
The co-wOrk of parents, scholars and
teachers. is necessary to make school
what it should be. With the encour-
agement Of the parents. the attendance
and studiness of the scholars, and will
lingness of the teacher. no school can
J '
prove Il success. Most. men in public
po -itions. Tabor more diligently and
with more care, when they know their
efforts are appreciated. Teachers are
not an exception to this rule; they too
feel better, and labor more willingly:
and diligently, when they realize their
work is appreciated. When you take
away the encouragement of parents, or
the effectiveness and ATTENDANCE OF
scholars, you have remoS ed from your
teacher powerful stimulus. We ad
init that the larger share of work nee
e ;sary to be done to make school a
SUCCESS, falls on the teachers; yet TINT

lowing is a verbatim report of con-
vcrsarion we listened to, between the
directors of 4 certain school, not long
since: .9sdoiesr3 ,ebTsg ssSEiz 81!
lst. D. Well what success had yotiy
2nd. d. Very good l guess; we hired
q teacher.
lst. D. Did you? What kind of a
fellow is he: Pretty smart?
2nd. ID. Well couldn't say; he's
mighty gasSy.
lst. }. Great ,talker, is he?
2hd. d. Yes, talEs eiitirelyt too much.
Sd. u. You ought to have seen p.
with his head down, and hat drawn
over his eyes, while the Teacher was
talking SO rapidly that no one could
get word in edge ways, and making
all kinds of odd motions to look under
P's. hat. and get Il peep at his face.
1$t. d. He must be whale, golly.
Sd. d. He's a wlaler to talk. He !

From the tenor of this conversation,
this fellow is small potatoes in the es--
timation of these ao men. yet he s
good eiiough to, teach school. Ifyour
teacher has a fault, don't make it pub
lie. Ifyou cannot speak we'll of him !.
say nothing about him. II there $
nothing in him Sconiiiiendable.e dis
charge him.
We have said more than we intendt d
to say. and will close. by urging tt 9
parents OF the district to take more in
terest in their school; remembering.
that education should make a share of
the fortune you bequeath to your chill
dreh. .....
