candidates rests with the board and is dependent
upon its action with regard to she high schools.
The superintendent recommends upon this SUBJ
ject
1. That for the next annual ses ion there be
no promotions from the grammar to the high
schools.
a. That pupils be required to remain two years
in the principals rooms OF the grammar schools
before they Can be regarded as candidate for
admission TO the high schools.
3. That the grade Of the grammar schools be
raised by the Introduction OF additional text
books, for use in the principals first, or highest
classes, which books shall continue the studies OF
the previous year, complete the instruction Of
those who do not wish to enter the high schools,
or afford more thorough preparation IL de-
sired, Tor an advanced course In academic or
normal departments.
This would add to the grade and efficiency OF
the grammar schools, add interest and variety,
also, TO tho course Of studies under the imme-
date care OF the principals. l would recon-
mend Tor these objects some elementary works on
English composition, familiar science, and gen.
metic, II found necessary in the progress OF the
classes. Respectfully submitted,
WIN. q. ROGERS,
