TABLE I.
Our school system in its present structural form comprises four departments, - primary, intermediate, grammar, and high. Each department below the high is subdivided into three grades, distin- guished as third, second, first, or lower, middle, upper. The high department is divided into four, distinguished as fourth, third, second, first, or fourth class, third class, second class, first class ; the fourth grade or class being the lowest or entering class, and the first the
101
highest or graduating class. If numbers are employed to distinguish the grades of any department the highest number indicates the lowest grade. In most schools the " first class " means the class first in age and attainment and not the class in the first year of the course. Each grade occupies one year. If a scholar enters the course at five and passes regularly through, he will finish it and graduate at eighteen.
TABLE II. 2
This table shows the number of scholars of the same grade enrolled during the term in each of the schools and the total number of such scholars in all the schools.
TABLE III.
This table shows the number of new scholars admitted to each school at the opening of the year, and the sources from which they came. This table also shows promotions, as the admissions to a higher are promotions from a lower.
TABLE IV.
This table shows the attendance in the several schools for the last school year and for the first term of the present school year.
TABLE V.
This table shows the present salary of each teacher, together with the number of scholars and grades of his school, and the date of his election.
