Classification.

The Importance Of bringing together pupils
of nearly equal attainments into one class,
in each of the subjects taught, is recognized
by all. The tactical question for teachers
to consider is. GLOW shall the Classification
he made, go MS to secure the greatest good to
the greatest number, and nt the same time
encourage 10 tho greate-t extent, or rather,
discourage to the least extent, the natural
prope nsitiss ..s'- .es: -itivs- or vach fudfvfi-
uai?"
To accomI lish these ends it is evident that
those only who know the needs, capacities
and requirements of the pupils should make
the Classification. The result Of n single
examination, or of any number of examina-
tons, alone should not determine the class
into which pupis should GO The age,
health, habits, and purposes of the pupil
should be considered in determining his
place the only question being, "Where can
the pupil do the most for himself?'
close classification might make oil the
pupils of sch, oil recite in the same classes
in all studies. There are certainly advan-
'aSeS III ms au put IL Is question
whether it may not be we'll som etimes to
ALLOW pupils to recite in higher or lower
class, in one or two studies. For example,
boy is by nature or by stuly farther ad-
vanced in arithmetic than in reading and
geography. If he has but limited time to
attend school, it would seem right to have
him rscite with one class in reading and
geography and with another iu arithmetic.
Again, there are occasionally pupils who,
by reason Of weakness or i'll health, cam OF
take all the studies taught in the school,
Such pupils should be allowed to omit one
or more of the regular studies, and even be
excused from school attendance, except when
their classes are recting.
There Is, of course, danger in such irreg-
u'a'ity of classification, and the number of
cases must be limited, but there are instances
when it is not only justitab!e, bnt necessary
for the best interest of the pupils.
