Public Schools, for the year 1S79.SO:
1t is with pleasure We ,nnounce with hi,
report that this months work, although dope
subject TO great Inconvenience for want Of
sufficient room, sea's, apparatus, &C.. is as q
whole very cieditabe- We are sorry to say
,here,are some scholars Who, probably, for
good cause, have been absen, 70 much a. to
be unable to maintain creditable grade
and others have msintsined low grades who
probably for good cau.e seem not to have re-
ceived the amount Of encouragement at home
necessary to awaken them t. lively degree
Of interes'. The will power of the child il
weak, and little parental encouragement
very often has an ipcalculable effect. We de-
sire to insist on rrgul-r attendance, if We are
to he held responsible for the education of
your children. When . scholar is absent .
Day his clafses move on one set of lessons,
and be is not only lett tina, far behind but is
compelled to 20 on with his classes without
first having caught up; this he is unable to
do properly, as the requirement of the les
sons he has lost is essential to his thorough
progress in the succeeding lessons. Judge
q. A. Kellogg and NJ. Collar, ESD, are &C.
credited - being the only visitors the scaools
have entertained during the month. In our
last report We expressed desire that par.
ties interested would visit the schools and
thus add encouragement to both pupils and
teachers; in this We express hope that
many will visit Us the ensuing month, and
pray you will not compsi US in cur mex, re-
port to announce our disappointment.
