It IS eu• titled, GRADED ReIIOOI.S Iv RCRAL bIf.TRICTS We do not tvish to be viewed in the light of critic when we assert that there are many imperfections in the practreal working of our public schools, and attempt more particularly to point out one of these detects, and prescribe means for its correction.

PLIN %NO %IF.INY FOR THE OR tIiING OF 1,14 Hoots IN RI KU Ml= Every tillage of sixty or more pawls should, and can, hate its schools grit ded, it the proper means are adopted. Every ordinary village and densely populated locality has more then one school-house within convenient dot Lance. In such eases all that is neces sary is to divide the schools, sending the smaller children to one, and the more advanced to the other. There may be tome who a ill oppose thin on the ground of Laving to send their children of a certain age to a more remote point, when they have a school house at the door. This is a difficulty that cannot be obviated, and it may require more than ordinary effort to convince such persons. It would lessen the cost, and not necessarily increase ehe number of teachers. The best vidence we have of the success of such measures under similar disadvantages i is, that in localities were such grading has been done, we nowhere see the old system ol mixed schools being re placed. That it is cheaper, in such localities, at once to establish such graded system, is shown, not only in the reduction in the number of teachers required to teach the higher branches, but in the buildings necessary. One building, rooms, will not cost as.much as two separate buildings, with one room each. One example may Serve to illustrate this: A few years ago, It - a ',certain village hiving two separate, urraded schools, composed, in part, of scholars from the country, one of the buildings wan deitroyed by tire, end it became necessary for the district to erect another. A proposition was made to grade the sc h ools upon the Montt plan, the yillageotibring to do nate theround, and erect the building needed, lithe board would appropriate $2,000 toward it. This offer was not 'accepted, the 'Board deeming the plan too expensive, and an ordinary single house wart built, at a cost of $1,200; a couple of yearn later the other house had become so bad as to make it neces sary to build again, burthe building so lately erected now stood in the way of the proposed union building, so another single house was erected—this time at a cost $l,BOO besides $.:200 paid for the gromtd. this pennv• ise policy produced a dead lons of $1,200 fo the township, besides frustrating the hope of union graded schools for years. Where two grades only are to be established, if there be already one good building, it may be enlarged by attaching to it another room, either for a separate grade, or to be used as n recitation rootn, with an nditional teacher; or, should the separate plan of grioling lie preferred, another build. inay be erected at some point most convenient for the smaller children. In regard to the number of grades to lee established, no definite rule can lee laid down. Local circumstances noict alone determine this. To give efficiency to the system it iv plain that there should be at least three well de fined grades—the Primary, Granin a-, and High School, but though ire shall einlea‘Or to 811014,1leat very many dis tricts can !lane these three grades,we lee lieeethat not all rural districts are:ready at once to take this advanced step, and in these would recommend two grades, Ptimary and tirammar departments We will go a cirri further, and concede that in some sparsely settled districts it is unreasonable to suppose that the schools can at all be graded at present, however much they suffer by the delay; but thin may apply only to the tem and we hasitste not to assert that nt every thickly settled district such gra ding should lie done at once. We assert this not without a full conception of the noun difficulties in the way, not a few of which rare of a local nature, and can be dealt with successfully only by the local lioaril of directors. A very serious obstacle in many districts is the shortness of the school term, hut the greatest obstacle of all is, pro. loabl, the tendency of the people to hold on to old plans, and to look with distrust upon all new measures. We Ctitenot expect these obstaclen to be overcome without much patient labor. Every step in the development of our sp-tem has been at the same outlay, and yet no sooner taken and fairly tested than it has won the favor and support of the people. It is cog ge-ted, Inrnever, that all attempts at grading be attended with as little ex pence as possible. We herewith give briefly the outline of a plan, which, being modified in various localities to suit the peculiar disposition and feeling of the people, we think could be Oa into successful operation in almost every township in the State. First, let every t illage aptl denstl) populated section bloc its Pronars and firammar Schools, as above indicated, allowing pupils from neighboring nub-districts to attend these, then, at such convenient ills rat ec as mit to incommode any —about three milts! Irons the most distant establish a High School, lor the con tinuame and completion of the course commenced in the Grammar : , ,chisil., with ruck additional lortloWlieri 114 would inske it equal in grade to a first class fltajelllV. Ihe distance seems to be the e realest objection that cpuld he of iered to this plan, and yet none would have over three miles, and compara Uvelr few would have that distance to go, and they only the older class WIIU would attend the High School. Thus evendi v WIWI of about six miles square would constitute a Iligh School dim wet ; but in sparse . ; 4 settled districts, ur where the a ancement of the schools would not 'arrant eo many, ten miles square insist constitute such district. In many of the smaller town ships but one high School would be required ; and where such single school could not he sustained, a joint High School, for neighboring districts, can be established, with privilege Mr all, of a certain grade of scholarship in such flietricts, to attend. The objec tion to the last named plan is that pu pill mien ling the High School would hone to hoard at the school, at consid eralile expense, limides losing the hem• fit of tunic influent e , hut it these weri; once fairly established, others [wirier home might, in course of time, lake their place its they were required; for the Grammar Schools would fur nish material which would, of its own accord, build up the requisite number of High Schools. • 11. lIAVINO CONSIDER/4k me YEAR' Mel lA' Ur Illt 11.i1Ntl THE BCIIOOI.B IN TIIE RURAL DISTRIeTS, WE WILL BRIEFLY REFER TO SOME OP TUE MANY Al)'. AN r- AGES WHICH REbULTS FROM SUCLI GRAD. I. No school can make satisfactory progress where the elementary and the higher branches are both taught by the same teacher; the labor is too great in quantity, and too greatly diversified, for any teacher to do justice to himself in the school. 2. The division of labor consequent upon the grading of the schools would give rise to separate classes of teachers, whose duty it would be to prepare for some particular dspartment, and whose attention, no longer divided upon all classes and grades of schools, would be directed to a single object. This principle of special education is being carried out in all the learned professions,—in law, we have our counselors and barristers, our civil and our criminal lawyers; in medicine, we have our surgeons and clinics, our ear, and our eye physicians. kio with the teacher—the work of the infant school is a''gork of are, amid one which the aocomplished teacher of belles letters and the languages might fail to do well ;andln like manner with all the different grades—each has its own dis tinct and separate laws in regard to arrangenent, adaption of school furni ture and apparatus, and methods of teaching and governing—the res?lts, respectively, of long experience and special training. Thus dignity and importance are given the work o' teaching, on aceount of its ctn.:acne , and what was regarded 'as fit employ ment for a novice is held to be the legitimate work of an accomplished artizan. 3. Much time is gained. It requires as much time to hear a class of two or three pupils recite, as if it were composed of fifteen or twenty Members; hence a school graded arid divided into two or three classes will receive a great deal more benefit than it could if divided into twenty or thirty classes, as is frequently the case in nosed schools, where we find from flirty to sixty pupils under the care of one teacher, and these ranging in age from six to twenty one years; and in studies from the alphabet to the higher English bran chiles. Und@r such circumstances it is not surprising to hear that the smal ler pupils do not receive the amount of time and attention that they nhouid. Indeed, justice cannot be done. 4. The discipline . fia• dtjrcrent clams or grades of ruptls should he dyrcrent, Those incentives which influence the little child—the restrainis and punish ments which mane are 1,.‘• Iw the primary school—are dn,inNteinl to the young man or young lady n ho attends the same mixed school, as utterly- 1 unfit for them as Mr the Parisian nth. ble, but let the schools be graded, and every grade thus formed can exercise its own ilisiinct functions. 5. Miler quail lied teachers ran be procured, tool teaching rendered more effective; Mr it is certainly easier to find a teacher well qualified for one department, than one thus qualified for every grade. There are those who are peculiarly fitted, both by nature and education, to instruct in certain bran• rhea, but unqualified for others, for teachers, being human, have their "hobbies," in common with their brethren. 6.

'I 116 CONFIEQUENT DUTY OF DIRE('. Tires. The school law provides for the grading of schools. Section 60, page 76, of the 180'001 digest, says: "The directors and controllers of the re spective districts tball have power to establish schools of Ilifferent grades," etc., and the 6chool department has decided this duty is obligatory upon directors in districts admitting of this arrangement. Directors are in vested With full power to provide for the intellectual wants of all the children of the district, and this can only be done by establishing proper grades according to law. The pres;dent of the board is required, in order to secure the State appropriation:to se ear that the law was complied rtttli; not in part, but the whole law; and 'this por tion of it can no more be evaded than any other. To directors we look. Will tile) move in this matter? All that is asked is, to give this, or some kindred plan, a lair trial, and we have nqt the lyrist doubt but that it will receive the emphatic ratification of the people. How to got tong well.

In a few moments ho returned with the young man, Chandler, who, in the conversation I had with him, mani fested a ttry lively interest in the solu tion of OM mystery, and professed him self ready to do anything to forward my views. 'When did you return to the house on Thursday night?' 'About twelve.' 'Twelve!' said Annie; 'it was not mbre than ten when I heard you.' 'Hie Block struck twelve as I turned the corder of the street,' replied Chan dler, positively. .1 certainly heard some one in the front room at ten,' said Annie, look ing with astor.ishment at those around her, 'We're getting at something,' said I. 'How did you get in 7' The young man smiled, as he glanc ed at Annie, and said: 'Un arriving at the door; I found I dad lost my night key. At that mo ment a watchman happened along, and I told him toy situation. Ile knew me, and taking a ladder from nn finished house opposite, placed it against one of the second story win dows, and I entered in that way.' 'Good I Now who was it that was in the parlor at tenoiniess it was Bryce or one of his accomplices? Ile must, have taken the key from your pooket Mr. Chandler, and stolen the note from the secretary. At any rate I will charge him with the crune, let what may happen. Perhaps he will confess when hard pushed.' 'Acting upon this thought, I wrote a lawyer's letter—'demanded against you,' &c.—which was immediately sent to Bryce. Cautioning the parties not to speak of the affair, I dismissed them. Bryce came. 'Well, sir, what have you to Hay against rue?' he asked, stiffly. 'A claim on the part of John Wal lace for two thousand dollars,' I re plied, poking over my papers, and ap pearing supremely indifferent. 'Paid it,' he said, short as pie crust.
