S1pt. City Schools:
We, as committee appointed to visit
the school of Miss Grace Merrill, in the
outlying district, found the school was
well in hand, that the discipline of the
school was good and appeared to be of
that character that was prompted more
by love rather than fear, which is an i'm
portant feature in the management of
scholars, and that during their examina-
ton their manner was easy and showed
a promptness and enthusiasm in their
answers which is commendable The
manner OF controlling the little ones and
their general treatment was pleasant to
us. Addressing them as little gentlemen
and ladies seemed to have the desired eff
feet and from their actions we should
judge they had not lost respect for their
teacher by this treatment The results
accomplished, considering the crowded
condition of the school are good, especi.
ally SO in geography, with railroad
map as an apparatus) and the promptness
and accuracy with which, as rule they
answered the questions show a thorough.

and the work in the different grades SO

Prof Carmichael:
According to appointment. / visited
the school west of the city, taught by
Miss Grace Merrill. This school differs
from most of the others in having all
grades together, and is therefore much
more difficult to reduce 10 order. But
Miss Merrill has shown herself equal to
the task, and has inspired good degree
of enthusiasm IN the school work. The
children answered promptly, and there
was in the whole school an effectiveness
and Zest in the exercises which proves
that the school work has been mere
task to them Miss Merrill has labored
under many difficulties, having wretch
ed old building which sadly needs
repairs, and which is destitute of all
proper appliances, having neither maps,
nor globes, nor pictures. 1t was
bringing order out of chaos to Sc
cure SO efficient school in the face of
such difficulties. If the voters in EN-
poria had visited each OF our schools
during the past year, the vote on the
smallest, would have been the largest on
the list. visited also the high school
taught by Mrs. Morse and Mr.. Hill, and
was delighted, as others were, with the
excellence of order and proficiency In
scholarship shown in the exercises of
the day. One will seldom find bright
er set of scholars or more earnest efficient
teachers. They have shown great mill
tary skill also in managing so well a
school one third too large for the room.
One of the papers said this week: "The
school bonds have carried, but il cannot
be repeated" There is one way to stop
this cry for more school houses, and that
is to stop the city from growing. Per
haps crowding the schools will help to
do this. r. CORDLEY.
