Many of the teachers of the

reports are required by law and we
trust that teachers will make their
reports promptly. | will answer
several inquiries by saying:
| have not sent out blanks e.
nough for entire school term. Will
send out more later.
The questions for LIST quarter
were received late and, therefore,
did not reach many teachers in
time for LIST examination. They
were sent to district clerks and in
several cases were not turned over
to the teachers. am expecting
the questions for 2ud rXarnina-
tions every day and will send them
out at once.
The questions do not suit all
classes. In such eases or where no
questions are given for other class
es, the teacher must make qucs-
tons.
Write upon the blank the name
of every pupil. In the first col
umn number the pupils, and in the
last column give the number Of
days attendance of each during
the quarter.
Some teachers have graded too
high and evidently aimed to please
pupils and parents. Such work is
detrimental to the best interests of
the children and greatly rctardS
the work of securing uniform
graded system of schools.
In filing ont the blanks put
names of classes together, begin
ming with the highest. -, If only
three or four more spaces are need
ed, write names of primary pupils
below the ruled lines.
All pupils expecting to graduate
from the rural schools should be
examined on the printed questions
sent out.
Pupils should be graded one
half on daily recitatlonS and one
half on examinations.
The examinations should cover
work done during the quarter and
should be made reasonable and
conducted fairly.
Teachers who grade their pupils
from memory without any test re-
quired of them, are doing the chill
dren an injustice and injuring the
work. of the County Board,
The Board are disposed to eX-
cuse pupils who fell below 20 on

Teachers who make the cXamin,

then continue them in the sam,

are Gripping their schoolwork.
