This is the lowest rung in the Gram
mar School ladder. Though the low
est grade, it is the most trying and
difficult to manipulate, at least for a
time. The pupils coming directly
from the four ward schools, where
methods differ to some extent, must
here be harmonized.
Miss Hill, who has charge of this
class, has been teaching acceptably in
in our Public Schools for number of
years and though this Is her first year
in this department, she has succeeded
admirably in her present position.
Her long experience is calculated
to make her efficient in the work.
l am happy to state, in conclusion,
that of the q teachers now engaged
in the noble work of teaching the
youth of our city, there is not sim
gle drone, but all are earnestly en-
gagged in the work, performing labor
in that direction far exceeding the
compensation they receive.
