book for such instruction, and should
be In every school in the county. - s
No full explanation of the manner of
teaching each branch is presented until
the course of study is finally arranged
and adopted.
REMARKS.
In presenting this course of study it is
hoped that while waiting for its final
adoption, every one interested will give
it their careful study, and the public the
benefit of their criticism. Adverse crit
icism is not feared half so much as
apathy in regard to it.
That there are grave difficulties to be
met with in regarding the country
school, some of which cannot be wholly
overcome, none will attempt to deny.
But, that there are great benefits, on
the other hand, to be derived from it,
can be equally well shown. Some of them
are here presented.
AS the work now stands in the coun-
try school, there is nothing tangible to
work to or from. There is no beginning
or ending. There is nothing definite in
the mind of either teacher or pupil as to
what constitutes completion of his
studies in the common school. In the
graded course there would be aScarefully
prepared plan arranged by the best ed
ucators of the county. cleaned from the
ripe experience of others all over our
broad land, and the pupil could have
the satisfaction of knowing that wher
he had passed through the course anc
gained a certain per cent. there wal
something finished, something com
pleted.
No education is wholly finished in thi
life, but why, we ask, should not the
pupil have diploma given him whel
he has completed the common schoo
course, as areward for his labor, as wei
as one who finishes the university o
college course? 1t is believed that TIA
granting of such a diploma by tn
county board of examiners, which tn
graded course contemplates, would be
grand Incentive to the pupil.
Lessening the number of classes
would give the pupil the benefit of
I longer recitation, and save the teacher
| time SO that he could do more and bet
, ter work with each class.
An examination would be held a
the close of each term, and a certificat
of standing given each pupil. At tn
beginning of next term if there were
change of teachers, the place of eac
pupil would be accurately known tn
first day, instead of the new teache
turning them all back to the first of tn
book and spending several weeks
know where they belonged.
If the graded course were adopted fc
the schools of the county, it would sti
be optional with the boards of each di
trict whether they accepted it or not, s
that no harm could come from it in an
event.
Many other reasons might be urged
> its favor, but these are given with tt
hope and the prayer that whatever ma
be done will rebound to the benefit
our school. Troy SHELLEY,
Superintendent

At prices, too, so very low,
That they can meier be beat,
Why, Just visit to his store
Is certainly treat.

That you will find he always deals

A Broadway car was bowling along
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets on wet night recently. when
somebody yelled in loud voice TO the
conductor TO stop. Turning around he
saw two men splashirg through tho
mud. Ho pulled the bell aud waited
for them. One evidently was under
the influence OF liquor and he could
hardly walk. even with the others as
sistance. relates the New York Sun.
As they came nearer IL was seen that
the drunken man was marine, while
his companion was civilian. The
latter managed with the conductor
assistance. to help tho marine on the
car. Then. thrusting nickel into
the conductors hand the civilian
said: Il guess he wants to 60 TO
South Ferry. Look out for him, will

conductor said, when the car started.

full what lot OF trouble citizens will
60 to to help those fellows simply
because they wear tho United States
uniform. There isn't night passes
but what we conductors see some in
stance OF this kind. These men get
drunk pretty often when they are on
leave. and they rarely fail to win
somebody's sympathy. You would
think they would get robbed or hurt.
because most OF them have money in
their clothes. On the contrary. nearly
evory man they meet will protect
them. and II anybody tried to hurt
them. you'd see dozen ready to fight
for them. have never known
drunken marine or soldier to pay his
own fare When nobody else volun-
teers which is rarely, we let him ride
free. guess there isn't a conductor
on the road who would ask him for
his fare. and that In spite OF tho
danger from spotters II we thought
we would be likely to get into trouble
on account OF 1t we would pay his fare
ourselves. guess this one wants to

he gets to the ferry all right"
