WALLINGFORD.

these votes: That the several lists of questions for final examinations of sen for class in High school as presented by Supervisor Cartwright be adopted; that the request for change in course at high school, made through Supervisor Cartwright for Miss Majorie Delehanty be granted; thta the lementary schools Of central district be regarded in &C., cordance with the recommendations of the supervisor in plan presented by him to the board. The recommendation and plan for the rgrading is as follows: 1 The course of study to be divided into three parts. The first part to be divid- ed into three portions and all pupils to follow these portions for the first three years, after entering the primary schools or the first grade. At the end of the first three years the pupils to be divided into two groups. One composed of those who are brighter and abler, at the same time possessed of good health, and spirit of earnest endeavor: the other group made up of the less able, or laggards, in other words, those who must for any reason proceed at slower rate.
 "The second division of the course of study is to be subdivided in two ways: First, into two portions, secondly, into three parts, The first group of pupils would take the two parts course, and l the slow group might be designated as grades, three, four and five, and the fast group as divisions A and B. The third grand subdivision of the course of study to be subdivided in a similar way to the second grand division, that Is, into two portions, and three parts. The slow group to take three years for its completion, and to be designated as grades '. 8 and g, and the fast group to take two years for the completion of the work, and to be designated as di- visions and D.
 At the completion of the second grand division of the course, viz: at the lends of grade and division B these two sections would be at the same point in the course of study at which time some individuals from each group might pass lone to the other group: that is, some in- dividuals from the fast group, who, for certain reasons that might arise, might be unable to complete the remainder of the course in two years, could pass over into the slower group; and on the other hand, some pupils. in the slower group who, it was thought could move more rapidly in the remainder of the course, could pass over and take their places in the rapid section; In either case, pupils that thus changed from one group to another would complete the entire course in eight years, thus making it possible for the different sets of pupils to enter the high school in either seven, eight or nine years from the beginning of their course of study in the elemen- tary schools.
 This plan would not remove the pos sbilty of holding a pupil back from re- beating a years work at any time. although the more careful grading would probably remove the necessity, in large measure for such repetition. In other words, this plan of promotion | would make it possible for a pupil to be promoted at any time during the year to the next higher grade or division, when it seemed to be for the pupils in- terest to be so promoted"
