ton School Board visited the following schools
and teachers of that district: Irish Settle
ment. L. L. Wilcox; Pond Hill, D. S. Fel
lows; Beech Flats, C. A Wright; Williams.
C. N. Hammond. Observed stiulioiisness and
order in all the schools, and much commend
able work in teaching. Reviewed classes on
phonies, geography with practical use of
globles, arithmetic and grammar. Percentages
of attendance in the Williams and East Can
ton schools 5)7 and 5)0 per cent. Who can beat
this?
Dec. 18.—Visited the following schools of
Canton twp., accompanied by Directors W. T.
Lawrence and J. Crandall: Voorhis. Ktlie
Pratt; Grover, C. J. Bloom; Turner, Roscl
tlia Wheat. Voorhis school registered 12 pu
pils. present, 11; spelling poor, no globe, no
analysis of writing. Grover school, regisler
jed 73, present, 57; good work and good disci
pline. Turner school, small but evidently
under excellent instruction. An assistau
will probably be furnished to the Grover
I school.
Dee. 29. —Visited the following schools and
I teachers of Canton township: Avers, Chas.
j Warren; Warren, Mary Granteer: KastCan
! ton. C. L. Beverly. Noticed in Avers school
! tine order, thorough teaching, and about a

appreciation of the teacher's work. The
I work by pupils and teacher in East Canton
: school SCIIIS to be second to none in the coun
ty. Examined a class for about an hour in
i mathematical and phvsical geography, with
j scarcely an error. Secretary Lawrence ac-
I eompanied during almost the entire week,
and expressed a purpose to visit the schools
' again before close of term. He thus niuni
! fests the true spirit, benefits ri t he schools and
: learns the efficiency of teachers to aid in liir
i ing in future.
