| drawn and the schools kept more strictly
TO their legitimate object than at some
times in the past. am also compelled
to admit that some of the teachers APP
pointed lacked the necessary experience
for the best success, and think IL would
be well in future to make successful
experience in school work requisite
for appointment to teach in our evening
schools, as we'll as in our day schools.
In many respects they are more difficult
to manage, and require greater power
and wider experience in managing
others than the day schools. These in
ferences are borne out by the fact that
the schools employing experienced
teachers kept up their attendance best.
Below are given the statistics for the
month.
