TESTING THE TEACHER.
A Curious old School Report Made In
Boston In 1722.

In the town records of the city OF
Boston there is a curious passage
which records how schoomaster was
examined and what happened. The
manner In which the visit of inspection
Is recorded makes one incline TO the
view that the unlucky schoolmaster
may not have had fair play, although
IL he was really inefficient he may be
said TO have been judged by his peers.
In the record for the 22d of May.
1I22. 1t is set forth that:
Coll Pen Townsend, jeremiah Al
len Esqr, & John Edwards together
with the Select men, Vissitted the
wrighting School at the Southerly End
of Boston on Thursday the oath apll
lT22, and Examined the Scholars un.
der mr. Ames Anglers tuition as to their
proficiency in Reading writing Scy-
phcring & the masters ability of teach
ing & lnstructing youth his rules &
methods therefore And are of Opinion
That 1t will be no Service to the Town
to Continue mr anger in that Employ"
Whereupon It was voted that the
said Mr.. Ames Anger should not con-
tlnue master of the said South
school,"
1t is true that nothing is said OF the
methods OF spelling incuIcated at the
"wrighting School," and 1t is also pos
sible that a clerk rather than the com
mittee was responsible for the errors
of the record, but there is certainly
something absurd in the passage as 1t
stands. Exchange.
