GRADED SCHOOLS.


need of a system of Graded
Schools in this city.
1t is no reflection upon the ex-
cellent schools already establish
ed and so ably conducted, to say
that they are not meeting the
needs of the hour. The city has
outgrown the capacity Of its Free
Public School, and the able
Superintendent, Mr.. ". NJ. Hin
ton and his assistants are haDdi>
capped by the condition Of at
fairs now existing. It is true they
spend six hours per day in hon
est efforts to inpart knowledge,
but all are disappointed that
their abundant labors accom-
plish so little, and that the end
of the term comes so quickly
that many pupils have not even
made a start toward the TEN
pie of knowledge. 1t is practi-
cally impossible to grade these
pupils, and great deal Of hard
work is done and but little &C
complished. Messrs. Sheep and
Tillett are conducting unusually
good schools we understand, but
they can only do so much and
no more.
A good system of Graded
Schools provide for and over
comes the very difficulties which
are insurmountable by the
others.
1t provides the very best in
struction for all alike and make
it possible fer hidden talents to
discover themselves and become
mighty factors in the further
development of the community.
Under a Graded System each
department is school to itself.
When a child enters the First
grade he has an even chance
with his fellows. Every child in
that room is in that grade. When
he passes from the first to the
second, he is graduated from one
school to another aud so on from
one grade to another he comes
out as nearly finished product
as an educational system can at
tain to.
1t is true that in this case the
strong become the helpers of
the weak, and the rich give up
their plenty to enrich the poor,
but in such case more comes
back than they give out. The
strong becomes stronger and the
itch richer - in more ways than
one, ve'Y often.
Unfortunately there are nat
ures so abnormal that they act
ually deprive themselves of
blessings for fear that their eff
forts to secure them will be OF
benefit TO SOMEONE else.
Am my brothers keeper? L
am. 1t is my duty as we'll as
privilege to know where he is?
what he is? and how he is?
Shall | take MY hard earned
money to help educate someone
else's child? Why not? Can YOU
make a better investment OF it?
Will stocks and bonds bring IN
more satisfactory returns than
brains and culture?
If God has given you ability
to make money, He also gives
you opportunity to spend it for
your o"n good and that of
others.
