CONDITION OF THE SCHOOLS.

The general condition of the schools in regard
to discipline Is good. In some of the rooms there
hasbeen very decided improvement in order
during the year.
There have been comparatively few cases of dis.
cpline in which it became necessary to resort to
severe measures. In seven departments there was
not single case of corporal punishment during
the year. and number Of others had but one case
each. Only seven pupils were suspended during
the year.
The great majority of pupils have made COM
mendable degree of progress, and as far as l can
Judge their industry and application to work
compare faVorably with other years. consider
able number of pupils have been remanded to
lower classes because they did not do the work Of
their grades satisfactorily, and hence failed at the
examinations held during the year. They were
hindrances to the progress of their classes and
therefore not only their own interests but the In
terests of the classes demanded that they should
be put in lower grades. Some Of these probably
failed In consequence Of Indifference and want
of application to their studies, and their failure
induced others who were in danger Of falling for
the same reason, to put forth greater efforts.
Some who were 50 much above the average
ability of their classes as to entitle them to promo
ton have been advanced to higher classes during
the year, AS children are not all endowed with
an equal degree of natural ability, and are not
equally industrious, 1t Is impossible to arrange
course Of study to suit all pupils. We must there
fore adapt the work for the average pupil and
those who can not or will not keep up with the
classes must be content to go q step lower, while
those who can do more, and are dillgent must be
permitted to gain step whenever they are able
to do so.

THE TEACHERS AND THEIR WORK.

The teachers have been earnest In their work,
and faithful in their efforts to promote the best
interests of the schools. The work in general has
been well done. The results attained in reading
in some of the lower primaries have however not
been entirely satisfactory. We had nine inexperi-
enced teachers in those departments during this
year. These teachers have all been working hard
and have done we'll, indeed some of them have
been more than ordinarily successful for the first
year, but 1t is by no means an easy task to teach
First Primary properly and few can fully succeed
without some special preparation for the work, or
experience IN the work. There is certainly as much
real teaching and as much tact required in first
primary as in any other grade 1t is not so hard
TO keep children In the right way If they are train
ed properly in the start as Il Is to get them In the
right way If started wrong; and as so much de-
pends upon the proper training of child during
It's first year at school, believe that as rule be-
ginners In teaching should not be put In charge
Of beginners in school, Inexperienced teachers
could do comparatively better work in the second
or third grades, By thesystem Of promotion here
tofore In practice very frequent changes Of teach
ers occur in the lowest grades, as vacancy in any
department whatever always causes change in
some first primary, and 1t is not unusual that
single resignation causes changes Of teachers in
four or more departments. Frequent changes Of
teachers are not desirable as 1t always requires
some time to become acquainted with the work In
another department There are comparatively
few teachers who would not prefer TO do the work
of higher grade to that Of first primary, and as
the salaries paid above the third primary are high
er than those below we can readily understand
why the teachers In the lower grades are 80 desr-
GUS Of promotion, nor can We In justlcel the
present graduation Of salaries deny them this privi
lege when vacancies occur believe however
that teachers in the Arst primaries should receive
as much salary as those In the fourth grade and
that 20 far as position is concerned, should have
the same claim for promotion to higher depart
ments When we have teachers in the first pri-
maries who are adapted for that work we should
keep them there longer than has been the custom,
and should pay them,better for their work,

with the Democrats, Of which there
is some probability the latter will con-
troll the Senate.
There is still talk of both, House and
senate being organized in the interest,
OF Hayes. This is only talk. The ad-
ministration, and the two leaders of
Hayes Kitchen cabinet, Mathews and
Foster, have been working for such a
result, but they have failed. The
Democratic party will maintain its
organization intact. If Hayes acts in
accordance with democratic principles,
he will have the support of The party,
but there will be no surrender of OIL
ganizalion or principle. Hampton
and Nichols both have been felt of
but they will yield to no compromise,
and the members from South Carolina
are equally determined.
In the meantime, there is trouble
brewing against Hayes in the North.
Wendell Phillips, as usual, leads the
extreme Radical element OF the North.
The Methodist preachers in Massachu-
setts are following his lead. ard even
the New York Times, which at first
rather favored Hayes policy, talks
ominously of the future. Nothing is
more certain In the future than that
Hayes will be unable to obtain the sup
port of his own party.
Grants Secretary of the Navy,
George NJ. Robson. Went out of office
a disgraced man. The investiga-
tion OF last Congress showed that he
used the patronage of that Depart
ment to enrich his friends, if not him
self. The whole service was rotten,
and though nearly four hundred mil
lion dollars were spent by Robson in
eight years, there is no navy: of any
importance to show for it. Even Spain
has far better navy THAI the United
States. Secretary Thompson, man
more disposed to let things take their
course than to attempt remedy has
been astounded at the condition of
affairs in the department. He finds
that nearly half million dollars of the
sum received for the old Philadelphia
Navy yard is not accounted for, and
many other things are coming to light
! by DO means creditable to Robson. If
| Thompson desires to make his admin
istratiou OF the Navy Department eff
fective, he must discharge the Robe
son crew. If he does not he will fail.
| Thompson is an honest man, but his
abilities | in talk rather than work,
and if he fails he will only fulfill the
expectations of many of his friends.

THE OHIO REGENCY.

Shall Hayes d Co. be Suffered 10 De-
stroy the Republican PortW
10 THE EDITOR OF TIE SUN-Sir:
AS Republican would inquire why
should we not protest against the
acts of the Ohio Regency? This Re-
gency, composed of the following gen.
tlemen: r, b. Hayes W. T. Sherman,
John Sherman, Stanley Matthews,pre-
poses to add to its strength by electing
James A. Garfield as Speaker of the
House of Representatives, and the ap-
pointment of Gov. Noyes, of Ohio as
Minister to France. Can the Republi-
can party afford to carry this Ohio
Regency? Would it not be better TO
at once let Mr.. Hayes take his position
in American history as Tyler the Sec
ond? Can we as party forsake our
old and trusted leaders, Conkling,
Graft Morton Blaine, Washburne, and
| Bristow, for weak, temporizing set
of mediocrities? Is Ohio to furnish
the entire brains of the great party of
freedom? What claim has Ohio to
leadership of the Republican party?
Did not glorious John Brough carry
the State by 100000 majority, and un-
tder this galaxy of surrendering states
men has not that majority been cut
down to paltry 5000?
But Mr.. George William Curtis of
Harper's Weekly says Grant lost six
Republican Southern States. Yes,
Grant, held back by I,ul;ing statesmen
did. But it took Grant eight years to
lose six, and Hayes has succeeded ln
llosing two in one month. We must
repudiate this Ohio regency or we
shall lose all the large Republican
States in the North.
predict that unless Mr., Hayes ceas-
es his present policy of surrender, not
one single Administration candidate
can be elected to Congress ia 1873
not single Southern State can be
captured from the Democratic party,
and no advance will be made toward
breaking the color line. On the other
hand, continuance of his present ac-
tions will necessitate fight in 1880
on the issue of solid South against o
fractured North. We shall be compell-
ed to course that was pursued when
Andrew johnson deserted,vi to NOM
mate a straight-out Republican and
elect him by Northeru votes. For this
issue let no Republican be blamed.
Yours truly.
