Tbe increase In lbs number of erdera la out or all proportion te" the Increase te tbe number et puplla, and reveal either greater leniency en the part of tbe granters, or lea reluctance te make application en the part of tbe peer. Probably both cauaea contributed te the re ault KX ANIMATION rBRl'XNTACIRS. With a view te lessening the pressure and preventing remarka and oemparlaoua often unjust te pupils and teachera and tbus lead ing te very great evils, the percentage ob tained at the annual examination were with held from all but the respective teachera, and they were etrletly enjoined net te give them te either the puplla or tbelr parent Tba puplla ware, however, Informed whether or net they were entitled te promotion. In tbla way. It la believed, the atudylng and teaching for high averages will be checked; at all event, attention will be withdrawn from the mark, and we trust mera largely centred en tba regular work of the school the training te geed habits of atudy, and tbe developing of geed tralta et character. Thla course will be pursued In tuture uuleaa the beard should order otherwise. nlNNKR-OAHRVINO. One of the avlla with which we still have te contend, especially in tbe primary and Intermediate grades. 1 the departure of puplla from half an hour te an hour before the time for closing Id tbe forenoon, for tbe purpose et carrying dinner. Hueb puplla, aa a matter of course, lese tbe lessens then taue-bt and are tberelere detained longer In these grades, ae that In many cease they never get beyond them at alt Tbe teachera In the German and English achoel en Seuth Duka atreet and these en Maner atreet have found it necessary te open at 8 o'clock a. m. and dismiss at UK o'clock, which aa far known gives universal satisfaction. rAPKR-OAHRYINd. A similar evil In the secondary, grammar and high achoela la the paper-carrying. Fer this purpose, pupil leave the schools dally at about 3JJ te 4 o'clock p. m., thus really attending only about three-feurtha of the time, and of oeurae mlaaleg tba lea son a recited during tba remaining fourth of tba achoel day Ne doubt, they, In aeme cases at least, obtain parental eeneent by tba per auaslve plea that they can gat along juat aa wall, bat auch I net the case. There I work enough at aobeol for every lad in attendance If he but de It well. INJURY TO EYES. In thla connection, it should also be atated that tba lata beur et oleaing in the afternoon, net only entalla extra expanse, wbleh, aa it la net vary great might be overlooked, but la a source of Injury te the eyea of the pupil attending the blgb aoheota. The glrla high achoel room, eapeclally, la entirely tee dark altar four o'clock te study In without Injury te the eye, and yet, aa the darkneea oemee en gradually, tbe evil la unpercelved and gees en unchecked until tha Injury is dena, whan all that can be dena la te reveal tha wrong inflicted by the wearing of glaaaaa ever permanently ruined eyea Tha boys, In whoa room artificial lighting la net pro pre vlded for are often of neeeaalty dismissed be fore tha time, RECOMMENDATION TO CHANGE TIME OP OPENING ANU CI.OHINCt. All theaa evila would be partially, and meat of them entirely, removed by opening tha achoela at fttSn nVilnnk a. m.amt at I o'clock p. m., end dosing at 11:30 a. m. and at a p. m. all tha year round.
