standard that we should like to have
them attain. Had the school houses
been provided with some of the nee
essay apparatus especially for the
study of geography, we might have
expected ard realized better results
for the money expended in sustaining
bur schools. The demand seems 20
me to be imperative, for at least a
dictionary, and a set of outline
maps, and a globe for each district.
Let the subject be remembered at the
annual school meeting and see il
something cannot be done in this di-
rcction. Outline maps and globe
are as necessary to child studying
geography as blackboard is to a
clfld studying arithmetic.
In regard TO the examination Of
teachers, | think that the use of the
printed questions, introduced ct first
as an experiment, will prove to be
beneficial. That Il part at least of
the examination should be written
must be apparent to all. A perma-
nent record is thus obtained not only
of teachers knowledge Of a science,
but also of penmanship, use of cap
ital letters, acquaintance with pune
tuation &c. If any one thinks that
those printed questions are puzzling
and unfair, they had better look over
the recent Report Of the Vermont
Board of Education, in which the
questions for the various Counties,
are now printed, and they will see
that there is only about ten simple
questions in each study, aad that OF
these a teacher can often fail on
nearly one half and still come up e
the required standard for the County
If AMY will take the trouble to in.
form themselves about these printed
questions they will be surprised not
that the standard was placed so high
but that it was necessary to make il
so low. A good education will moi
always make the successful teacher
but no teacher can instruct others i
he has not himself mastered what he
is TO teach.
Feeling that our effort is humble
and perhaps imperfect, yet conscious
of the endeavor to do no injustice t.
any one connected in any way will

port is respectfully submitted.
