mARTlNsBuRu SCHOOLS.


Its real pleasure to record the
| fact that the schools of this city have
accomplished about one-third more
this year than ever before in their
history. The attendance has been
good and attention to study far be-
yond anything ever before experienced
by the teachers.
When the Herald advocated the abb
clifton of examinations there were
those who held up their hands in holy
horror and said if it were not for the
examinations the schools could not be
controlled. We argued to the con-
trary and pointed out the fact that the
system in vogue was most pernicious
in that it taught the pupils to lie and
cheat. Instead of teaching them to
think, they learned to rely upon the
efforts of others or else to steal the
answers.
Another most baneful curse was the
great loss of time. Years were vast
ed. Large sums of money were squan-
dered. The time required to complete
the course is - years. With an aver
age of 1900 pupils, allowing one-third
of the time to be lost, the cost OF ex-
aminations, from the time pupil en-
tered school until he graduated was
$50, 500. But the money was not the
greatest loss. Integrity, honor, a dis
position to shirk, and superficial work
were more costly, as money cannot
buy back wasted time. Happily all
this is over now aud the schools are
on the high road to that efficiency
which can only be obtained by active
cooperation of both teachers and
pupils.
