system In the Schools.

Ten years ago there were 1898
schools In Maine that we're reported as
following no definite outline of studies.
For the school year 1854 the number
OF schools of this class had been reduced
$40. This radical reduction shows con-
clusively the gain that Is being made 10
a more careful REORGANIZATION OF the
work of the schools. 1t Is not to be
implied that all of these schools
are by any means following sim
liar or uniform courses, but 1t Is clear
that in place Of haphazard, Implanted
work has come some measure of system
and organization. At recent superin:
tendeuts' conferences efforts have been
made to bring about some form OF agree
ment on the essential points Of the
school course, 40 that pupils going from
one school to another would meet with
less loss than is now frequently the case.
These efforts are all bearing fruit In a
more harmonious unity Of school
courses. In commenting on the desir-
ability Of further agreements the report
SAYS: "While an absolute uniformity
that would prevent individual initiative
and wise experimentation would retard
progress and 10 not to be desired, there
Ia much to be said In favor of an agree
ment on established and essential points
for all parts Of the state school system. !"
