The School PrOblem..-NO. 3.

AS things now are, pupils never
graduate or complete the course OF
study in the common schools, because
there is no course to complete. Would
it not be great step forward to have a
course of study occupying so many

completion, and graduated from by the
pupils? Who can tell, in the ordinary
common school, whether good work is
being done or not; or what progress
any pupil is making? 1t is not neces-
sary to have examinations for promo
ton. The evils and remedies of these
are fully set forth in a circular of in
formation sent out by the United States
Bureau of Education, entitled, Pro-
motions and Examinations in Graded
Schools"
There is another Improvement which
might be made in the schools, which is
already inaugurated, and which as it is
gradually adopted will remedy many of
the present evils and abuses of the sys.
tenn. ! refer to the consolidation and
classification or grading of the schools.
The late superintendent of education in
his report emphasizes the need of con-
soidation. This was one of his strong
est arguments for the town system of
schools. The adoption of the town
system has brought about the begin
nings of this consolidation. Many of
the small schools have been discon-
tinued. Many of the older scholars at
tend the upper grades of the village
schools. This relieves the teacher of
the other schools and is a step towards
grading. 1t not only relieves the
teacher, but is also a great help to the
older children. In some places all the
older scholars go to the village school,
driving back and forth daily, or some
times boarding in the village, or hiring
room and bringing the most OF their
| food from home once or twice week.
This ought to be encouraged in every
way, and so had everything which tends
to the doing away with the smaller
schools. III there are fewer schools tC
provide teachers for, the lack of good
teachers will not3be felt so much. Sup.
pose three schools are united, the need
of two teachers is done away with, for
there will seldom be more classes in q
common school of thirty or forty schol,
ars than in one of eight or ten; and

ten or fifteen as we'll as they can TO q
class of four OF five.
This matter of fewer schools and
teachers is of the greatest importance
Teachers need special training,-wt
must have trained teachers or poor
schools. The fewer the teachers, the
better the opportunity of securing
trained teachers. But all this will take
time and require patient waiting on
the part of those who see the needs anC
the deficiencies of the schools. The
town system is long step forward. l
opens the door for every needed reform
The adoption of a systematic course o.
study would be another long step ahead
These reforms would pave the way fol-
other important improvements, anC
thus, step by step, the school problem
may be solved. j. W. NEWTON.
