Gentlemen:
In submitting tn the Board my first
monthly reportof the condition Of Mi
Ian Schools. | can do hut little more
than sketch in outline what has been
attempted, and give some statistics
with regard to what has been actually
accomplished.
The plan of rganizatiOhadopted by
the Board Sept. 18th wasEhe iuaugu
ration Of an entirely new system with
regard to the management, grading,
and discipline of the schools. By
your order 300 copies of this plan and
regulations were published, 50 that all
the patrons Of the schools have been
supplied with the needful information
with regard to the methods of work.

Your selection " teachers was, un.
der the circumstances. as good as
could have been made, and though all
were new to the working Of the graded
system, they have co,operated with
an earnestness and goodwill which
give promise Of fairly successful work.
GRADING.
The grading of the pupils has thus
far been merely tentative. Expert
ence has shown that no reliable grad
ing can be successfully carried out
till after the trial of scholar for a
month or two in class work, together
with the quarterly examination. One
evil to he contended with is, that once
in while some parents are quite GER
tain that they are better informed
than any teacher, however careful or
experienced can possibly be,as to what
their children really know, and wish
them advanced, regardless Of anything
but their whims. The only way to
remedy this is to insist that the mere
primary work of the grades must be
thoroughly done, before any promo
ton can take place. For want Of this
sort Of work oui upper grades are
filled with scholars who cannot an
swer questions, nor perform operations
in Arithmetic which, under a good
system Of graded schools, they should
he able to at II or 13 years of age.
A big hook does not always make a
hig scholar,nor is the placing o. child
in Il higher grade without its having
thoroughly mastered the work of the
! preceding one anything Out tarce.
The reputation of Milan Schools can

Many changes will have to he made,
between this and the holidays, and the
hope is expressed that parents and
guardians will acquiesce cheerfully in
what seems best for the real scholar.

Of fancy in the matter of now and

think twice before doing that which
must necessarily break into the conrse
of study. 1t is doing wrong TO the
child, for that child must suffer for it
