PUBLIC EDUCATION.
A New Course Of Study In The County
Schools Of Maryland-soheme For
The Coming Year.

The new course OF study adopted by
the State Board of Education. go into
effect in all the schools of the counties OF
Maryland September Ist. The schedule
has been in the hands OF the teachers for
several weeks that they might become
acquainted with its provisions before they
begin the work OF the new scholastic year.
The school authorities do not antici-
pate any great difficulty in having its
features engrafted on the work of the
schoolroom and are satisfied its COM
plete adoption will be a question of a
short time. While the number of grades
has been increased from nine TO ten, the
additional grade is an outgrowth of better
apportionment of the work rather than
additional textbook matter. With its
old schedule OF grades the teachers found
il necessary to divide AT least one OF the
grammar school grades, thereby necessi-
tating an additional year.
In arranging the work of the new
course the report of the committee of
fifteen OF the National Educational Asso-
citation on the correlation of studies in
the elementary schools was considered,
and its Recommendations were adopted
as far as school conditions in Mary land
would permit. The report was looked
upon as most helpful OF all American
educational classics Mr. M. Bates, State
Superintendent OF Public Education, said:
From the standpoint OF actual school
work there seems to be a natural, logical
and practical grouping of studies, which
has been followed in our system OF grades
under the following headings or co-ordi-
nate groups
an language-literature, ~ mathe-
mates, 81 science, (4 conduct, Isl art.
There is a classification of branches OF
each group. and the teacher is thereby
assisted in the correlation Of studies and
given general idea OF the relative inn
portance of each group. Following a
general summary Of each grade's branch
es is biief outline of work for the grade
divided into half-year's work to cores
pond with the requirements OF the school
law that semi annual examinations Of
pupils be held in all schools.

The Reopening Of Schools.

A week from TODAY and the familiar

the summer vacation which three months

selves in their various studies, while
OTHERS have little or no ambition about it.
