ion the higher conditions npon which dipio'
ia. are TO b. granted. should begin in the
Hr.t Hi-h school year and increase to the
ls,t. The minimum should not be lower IL
the first High school year than 4 grade OF
Is per cent. in each branch. and a genera
average Of 20 per cent. In the second year
a grade OF 20 per cent. in each branch. aht
A general average of -. In the third year
: . grade of - per cent. in each branch, nn'
an average Of ~ per cent. This increasing
, graduated scale would necessitate u like IN
, crease Of application and requirement
Which il but the natural aud legitimate re
suit of increasing mental development ant
power in the worthy student. Higher re
q~uirements than these would, probably, no

requirements should be based.
. EXTENDING II COURSE OF STUDY.
The question of extending the course G
: study another year, making eleven grade
: instead Of ten, is one that you should settI
Y before making Your announcements fo
G next year. In making this decision sever
4 thing, are to be considered. The course
study as il stands is too much crowded fC
pupils that enter at five years of age. Bt
" YOU cannot afford TO give y certificate
graduation, nor hope to create any intcre
2. or pride in your school with a more limit(
course. Hence, if 4 new grade is not a
IA ded. the course of study must stand su
stantially As it is. But il another grade
i added. the present course can be so moo
tied as to relieve the high pressure now II
i cessary. and vet allow the Introduction
~ two or three new subjects into the eleven
ID grsde. thu, making the work Of the low
grades more thorough and the value of
70 diploma much higher. The question OF
probability Of applicants for this high
course, should it he established, may ar
in your minds. In some respects you q
i' be ter prepared to judge in this matter th
oil | am. You know your country and peo'
better than | do. But unless your conn
nifty differ. widely from most communiti
n. there can be but little doub. that. if J

10 the aspiring student, together with
m. other fact that many, who canno \,
n. them.elye. OF these higher i~nstitutio
J.. would like the advantage OF a more adv
eed course at home, would warrant its
Il iablIshment. \ new grade would, Of coul
l" mean additional expense. 1t would not
d ni.h sufficient work for another teacher
he But If instrumental music were br0u
properly under the control Of the Boa
and tuition liked at a lower rate. more
pil. could have the advantage Of music
sons, while this branch aud the work OF
&c new grade would employ two teachers
Tut wholly devoted 10 music, the other disi
usi between it and literary work. 1t seem
me NE this plan would incur but little a
iional expense and be Of considerable
~,autase 10 the school.
