FURNITURE roR MADISON.

GRADING THE GRAMMER DEPARTMENr
In the "plan of organization aud
course of study adopted by the Board
divisions A, B, G and d are definitely
graded, but the grammar department
has been left without any designated or
der in which the various branches shall
be taken up. The same reasons that re-
qure the grading OF the lower divisions
OF the school, apply with equal force
TO the grammar department. As the
course of study in this department cannot
be completed in less than from three to
four years, 1t Is important that pupils
changing residence from one sub.district
to another should be able TO enter the
grammar school, and not be put to ANY
relative disadvantage from the change.
l would recommend that this subject bs
referred to the Committee on Rules and
Regulations for report, l would ask,
also, that the same com.
mittee take into Consideration
the propriety OF giving to all pupils who
complete the entire course of study pres
crlbed by the Board, some suitable GER
tihcste or diploma setting forth their DO.
