OF forty-six pupils each, produce as desirable
results as are produced elsewhere with only thirty

The experience Of the past year shows that
most Of the teachers employed in the public
schools Of the city will have to be educated in
School No. 4. Ladies' from other places cannot
come here to teach for the salaries paid in the
primary schools. It is therefore a matter of
economy to provide the best opportunities for
the young ladies' Of this city who desire TO edu-
cate themselves for teaching.
To lower the standard Of qualifications in view
Of the scarcity Of teachers will be a ruinous pol
icy. The position taken by Prof. Wickersham
in his address before the Teachers Institute last
week. that the fairest talent and highest culture
should be demanded in the teacher Of youth, and
that the best teachers should be employed to
teach the youngest children is position held by
many leading educators
II another teacher can be added to the pres
ent number of teachers in the girls depart
ment Of School No. 4, and the subjects taught
divided among the teachers according to theil
special talents, as they are in the high schools
OF other cities, it will be a very important steE
in providing fuller means for educating the
