APPRENTICE SCHOOL.


An extra term of eight weeks was taught in
the old Grammar school building on School
street, during January and February last for
the benefit OF those young men who are de-
prived of our fun school privileges.
Number of pupils registered. Al Average
number. 81. Totalc cost about $3.50. We think
the term was profitable and recommend that a
regular appropriation be made from the school
fund for this school
HiGH SCHOOL.
Mr.. Walter II. White succeeded Mr.. W. r.
Foster as Principal of the High School. at the
beginning OF the fall term.
The present condition of this school Is very
satisfactory 10 the committee Thorough and
efficient work is being done. The present
number Of pupil, is 20 against 81 for the cor
responding term Of last wear. This increase
shows the appreciation In which the school is
held by our citizens.
We again call the attention of the citv gov
eminent Ia the need OF more suitable rooms
for this school. Those now occupied by il are
unfit in every WAY for the purpose.
They are not ample enough. Especially Il.
this true OF the assistants room II j. abso-
ufeiy too small To contain the present lth
class. We believe these pupils are injured by
being crowded into room so small. and where
there l. no means of ventilation. Again the
main room l. low and dark and poorly yenti-
lated. Some pupils have already injured their
eyes by study in ihi, room
The Use of the hall above. greatly inicrferes
with the work OF the school. We earnestly
recommend that some action be taken bv the
city government to secure better and more
suitable accommodation, for thi. school.

Tn. fea.hers in our graded schools remain
la, sam. - at the close OF the last Year. \
change. however. was made in the principal Of
the grammar school. in District No. 3, for the
summer term. Thi, change WAS an embarrass-
Inent 10 TIN. progress of the pupils. and we are
..la,l to report that the school was placed under
tlle care Of the former principal at the be-
.iunin. OF the fall term
In many OF the other schools the same
teachers have not bren retained. Nothing dis
,iir,. the progress of pupils more than this
frequent change OF instructors. IL is an evil
which accompanies the present district system
snd cannot easily be separated from il. The
highest uteres; and welfare Of our public
schools demand that both be removed.
CHANGES.
The Grammar school in District No g. was
divided 4, the beginning Of the fall term. The
entering class was formed into school IN The
lower room and placed under the charge of
Miss Davis. the former assistant. From our
examinations thus far we are assured that the
ditision i Of great adv aDtage 10 the school.
TERMS AND ATTENDANCE.
Farh district has maintained its usual length
of school sessions with few exceptions on &C.
count Of sickness. Our report 10 the Stale
Superintenieni. soon to be made viii show as
near a. we can now estimate. that the per cent.
of scholars attending school during the year
will not be materially changed from that ofthe
previous year.
GOVERNMENT.
Good government has been maintained in
nearly all the schools by the teachers. In q
few cases the committee have found 1t nee
es,arv to suspend pupils from school privi-
leges. temporarily, on account OF disobedience-
but none have been permanently excluded.
The city government enacted laws for the
punishment of truants which were put IN
force al the beginning Of the winter terms.
The effect and enforcement OF these have pro-
,lllced very salutary influence upon our
schools thus far We recommend that
copy Of these and of those portions OF the
statutes relative TO defacing and injuring
school property, be placed in each school
room.
PROFICIENCY.
The condition Of the schools for the past
wear has been on the whole not unsatisfactory
TO the committee.
In those districts where new teachers have
presided over each term the work has not been
Of the highest oHler. 1t cannot be under those
circumstances. Yet none Of these have fall
en- below an average district school and some
have done exceptionally good work.
The progress made in our graded schools has
been highly satisfactory. In most Of these the
teachers are tried and efficient. We believe
their superiers cannot easily be found. and we
recommend that no changes be made among

We think all Virginia journalism can
Justly take pride in the enterprise
which can give to so small city as
Richmond one Of the best newspapers
Of the whole country. We have watched
with growing admiration the energy
which has lately had such significant
manifestations in the size and makeup
Of our leading Virginia paper. Some
Of the spirit Of that enthusiastic jour
nalistic enterprise which in the past
gave the country the Herald and Tn
bune seems to be throbbing in the life
pulse Of our metropolitan contempt
rary. In the Cluverius trial it comes
to the front in a very striking manner,
with reports so full and with every
point Of interest so thoroughly brought
out by illustrations that nothing is LEFT
to be desired by the most eager Gu
riosity. The people Of Virginia owe
such enterprise debt, and one that
could be best paid by doubling the
subscription list Of the great daily.
We know there are many in this county
who never see the Dispatch m the bril-
liant phase of its new life. This arti-
Gle is intended as q suggestion to those
who can afford the luxury to order q
copy Of the daily to be sent to them
for sufficient time to have an opportu-
nifty Of seeing something Of the bud
ding energy of new Virginia.
This is not an advertisement Of the
Dispatch, but an unsolicited contribu-
ton out Of our store Of fast-increasing
admiration.-Amherst Nep Era.
