Grading the schooIs.

Tire unusually large enrolment at the
beginning of the terra necessitated an ad-
difion to the regular teaching force. and
changed materially the plans that had
been made for grading the school The
question that arose was How must the
school be graded in order to have the
best classification. and at the same time
TO apPortion to the best advantage the
efforts OF the teachers. so as % allow the
pupils TO receive the greatest possible
good from the work?' A study of condi-
tons and needs resulted in the formation
OF two eighth grades, two seventh grades,
4 SIKH grade, q ffh grade, and fourth
grade: and the results thus far have
shown that this system OF grading is
probably the best that could have been
made.
The only weak point in the system as
given is in the fourth grade, where. Of
necessity. there must be placed the pu-
Pills belonging 10 the first, second, third,
and fourth grades The suggestion IS
submitted that another year a grade for
the foreigners, and foreigners alone. be
established at the Gales or the Franklin
School Under the conditions existing Il
vas Impossible for the foreigners to re-
ceive the proper amount OF attention and
as result they were lost TO the school
Selecting the Essentials.
''The question that confronted each
teacher at the beginning OF the session
was, How am I to select the essentials
from the course OF study Of the CORE
spending grade OF the dag schools, and
from them form basis for fifty-six
nights work2' and IN the solution OF this
question the teacher put to a test her
adaptabilitv the essential on s.hich the
failure or success % a night-schOoI
teacher most depends. In the eighth
grades the Introduction of bookkeeping.
business arithmetic, letter writing and
spelling made this question enc OF
easy solution; in the seventh, sixth and
fifth grades. however. the teacher had
TO depend to a greater degree upon the
needs Of the pupils

was based upon reading, spelling, plurals.
