MAKE THEIR GRADES

Examinations.
ARGUMENT FOB GENERALIZATION
Results of Grading of Schools and
Retention of Good Teachers
Pointed Out.

The marking of examination papers
of country school pupils who this
year took the final examinations I'M
der County Sups. Ferguson has been
completed. There are 30 who passed.
a smaller numb Der than last ear. for
the reason that there was a much
smaller number to take the finals.
Last year. however, only 10 percent
of those who were examined passed,
while this year the percentage was
80.
The superintendent inds that pupils
coming from those schools that are
partially graded aud where the di-
rectors pursue the policy of hiring
good teachers and keeping them as
long as possible are by all odds the
strongest and pass with the high
est marks. He considers this one
of the best possible argu-
ments in favor of centralizing
the country schools. so that the grad
ing can be properly done and better
teachers employed, at least as princi-
pals. AndaIusia and Maple Grove, a
