The City Pubic Schools.


Let me say regarding the Public
School Of he city, some very fine
work is being done and this is true
with respect to discipline as well as
literary training Congratulate your
self, citizens, the standard is very
high. The writer visited the institu-
tidh ons.a hunt for ideas, and 10, he
found them Novel ideas, but their
value lies not in their novelty in no
respect. Common sense is the abso-
Lutte dictator, 1t appears to me. Good
methods and common sense coincide.
IL would improve any county teach
or to visit the City Schools Here we
find good methods IN operation. A
whole week spent in observing these
would bring the said teacher to a
knowledge to things pedagogic. 1t
would be BATTER point Of method
than some summer Institutes. What's
more the method is In operation.
From experience ! can give assurance
Of a welcome.
