success Of the teacher. Pupils are pro-
NOTED from grade to grade upon exam
ination by the Superintendent.
Examinations are not held at stated |
times.
For convenience and economy of Ia
Dor, pupils are, as far as possible, taught |
in classes; but all examinations are
held, and all promotions are made with
referencc TO the individual pupil.
For the purpose of instruction, the
pupils are arranged in divisions or
rooms, each division being in charge OF
a teacher. \ division may include one
or more grades or but part of grade.
The divisions are designated by letters.
by promotion is meant the completion
by the pupil of the work of one grade,
and the beginning Of the work of the
next higher grade. 1t has no cOnnec-
ton with, and is not usually accom-
panied by transfer into another room.
Transfers from room to room are made
solely for the purpose of equalizing the
work of the teachers, or for convenience
in seating the pupils.
There are now fourteen divisions or
schools, and fifteen teachers. The en-
rollment TO da'e is 126 pupils.
The City Schools are supported main
ly at public expense, and hence, are
public property. 1t is the right of everH
citizen, whether he has children IN
school or not, to know whether the
schools are properly and efficiently con-
Quoted, and whether they are fulfilling
the purpose for which they were institu-
ted. The best, and in fact, the only
satisfactory way to get information
concerning the schools is by frequent
and repeated observations in the school
rooms.
In order that visitors may feel no en-
barassment, and the schoolwOrk meet
with no interruption, visitors enter
without knocking or other f0rmality,
and are never called upon for speeches.
The schools are visited by large
number of persons from abroad as well
as by TIE citizens of Plymouth. such
visits are a source Of pleasure both to
pupils and teachers; they are prepared
to receive many more; and they hope to
see many parents and other residents of
Plymouth who have not favored the m
with call.
Visits are supposed to be made for
the purpose of seeing the school work.
