<br />CONDITION OF THE SCHOOLS.
<br />We would report generally, in regard to the state of the
<br />schools the past year, that they have been in a very prosperous
<br />condition. In them all have been engaged a most faithful, de-
<br />voted band of teachers, who have labored to do their duty,
<br />according to the best of their ability. Of course, their success
<br />has been various. If this was estimated by their devotion to
<br />their work, it might be considered complete; but considered
<br />relatively to the high standard of education, we see much room
<br />for improvement. In many instances, that were carefully
<br />watched, proofs of remarkable progress, showing the fidelity of
<br />teachers, and the very cordial cooperation of scholars, were not
<br />wanting. In other instances, however, the progress had been
<br />slower, but we felt gratified at the thoroughness evinced. A
<br />want of sufficient progress is not necessarily attributable to the
<br />teacher, but, in most cases, to the irregular attendance of schol-
<br />ars. Let parents note this fact; and when they complain that
<br />their children have not made so much advance as they could
<br />have wished, let them ask how many days or half -days they
<br />have been absent from school. Instances frequently come to
<br />our notice, of complaints of this kind, when it has been found
<br />that the scholars have been absent at least a third of the school
<br />term. It is impossible to expect much of the teacher under
<br />such circumstances.
<br />We feel it to be a duty to refer to one school in particular, in
<br />relation to which, we believe, our views were misunderstood.
<br />We are glad of the opportunity of speaking thus publicly upon
<br />this subject. At the close of the fall or summer term, in the
<br />North District, we were not satisfied with the appearance of the
<br />school. We thought that the scholars did not evince that
<br />thoroughness which we had a right to expect, and that they
<br />had contracted a habit of relying too much upon the teacher,
<br />for assistance in recitations. We entertained the highest regard
<br />for the teacher; and, believing that she had inadvertently aided
<br />the scholars, in this want of reliance upon themselves,—through
<br />a very laudable desire to do all for their advancement in her
<br />power,—we felt called upon to offer some suggestions, warning
<br />against this difficulty. Most unfortunately, these suggestions
