GentIemen:-In compliance with
your regulation, l hereby submit my
seventh annual report of the public
schools under your direction tor the
year ending June 4th, 1886.
Were it not that the rules and reg

forego the task of its preparation
not that l shrink from the labor, but
| am conscious that reports of this
nature have interest for but few
Still, in so far as they present facts
in relation to the schools, they have
a certain value to the profession fol
reference and comparison, and serve
to preserve the statistics of today fol
the peiusal OF the antiquarian Of to-
morrow. With these views ! shall
aim to make this report as brief as
practicable.
The general management of the
schools for the year, and the course
of the school work, have not been
materially different from that of pre-
vious years. 1t has been a year o.
successful and satisfactory work ir

on the part of teachers, and good
and healthful progress on the part OF

to all interpretations. The law designates
incorporated Cities meaning incorpora,

LANGUAGE.

| nc "Ofk OF our SCHOOLS IS arTanS
ed so as TO teach a little wei
rather than much specifically. Ii
is the effort to make it practical and
useful without impairing the disci,
plinary character, so that pupils are
trained in habits of thought and
study, while at the same time, pre-.
paration is being made for the actual
business of life.
have endeavored to arrange the
instruction so that the proper use Of
the mother tongue shall be growth
from the lowest primary grade to
the end of the course. Language
from the beginning is taught Incl,
dentally with every study. at is in
constant use and practice under new.
er failing watch and correction, tina,
makes good writers and speakers"
Pupils are frequently practised in
writing out in order such ideas a,
come up in the course of instruction,
both for the purpose of improving
their language, and of fixing in then
minds the principles of the subject
they are studying. This plan OF
work has obviated somewhat the
necessity of the old forms Of exam
nation. Of the results OF years
special work in this direction, il
would not be prudent or advisable
to claim too much, nor should it be
claimed as conclusive that It is desir.
able to dispense with examinations,
to the extent we have done, because
a years experience is favorable.
can only say that it is the uniform
testimony OF the teachers, confirmed
by my own observation, that the
pupils have shown no lack OF inter-
est in their studies. that they have
accomplished equally as good results,
and have been equally as well pre-
pared for promotion, as under the
former system of frequent examina-
tons.
AT the same time, I am satisfied
that teachers have had opportunity
which they have faithfully and
profitably used, to impart more
general intelligence to their classes.
One marked feature has impressed
me in the teaching, in nearly all
cases, and that is the freedom of the
teachers, in imparting to their pupils
what the pupils should know, rather
than what they are expected to be
examined upon. such a plan is
only available with good and intelli-
gent teachers in charge, but with
such teachers, 1t seems to me by far
the most profitable method Of teach
ing.

SUMMARY OF STATISTICS.

The above comparison with thu
registration and attendance of the
,chool year 1884 and 1855, shows
hat the net registration has varies
very little, decreasing somewhat.
This was due in part to the unSa,iS-
actory crowded condition of ou
primary room, and partly 10 a gen
rally growing tendency to leav,
chool at an early age, to acquir,
he means OF livelihood. At tn,
anne time there is satisfactory TEA
,ure of our attendance found in the
act that with diminished registra
ion we show an increase average o.
iaily attendance, this indicating tina
hose who attend school enjoy thei
advantages longer than formerly,
md, as a consequence, derive CORE
,ponding benefits from school attend
ince. In the former case attendance
was often spasmodlc, and periods OF
absence frequently neutralized all
benefits of instruction received wher
in school. Under the late and mort
favorable conditions there is founo
to be a greater advantage to Teaches
md pupil in the continuity OF nstruc
ton, even though the time be com
paratlvely short.

PORTLAND STANDARD: Isaac N.

The point Of the case is this: Hibbs
was extradicted from British Colum-

Lewiston was discharged as not gull
