Two CLASSES.
And as stated in a former report, when there is but one grade in a room it is required that the pupils be made into two divi- sions-not by rank, because that would be drawing the lines a

little too close ; and that one class may be reciting while the other is studying in some form. In this way the attention of the teacher may be more individual; and the pupils are left to them- selves a little. Individual teaching is generally the best teaching. It seems to be a fault of graded schools that they have less of it than in the mixed schools of the country ; and yet the grading ought to give greater opportunity for the individual teaching. The trouble is, perhaps, that pupils are not enough set to work by themselves ; and the two classes tend in that direction.
SEMI-ANNUAL PROMOTIONS.
If there is this individual teaching, then while carrying along a lot of pupils over the same subjects of study, the pupil who can do more, may have the opportunity; and the pupil who needs judicious help, may have it. It is then possible for healthy and studious pupils to jump a grade in the manner indicated above. If a grade means the work of a year, then semi-annual promotion means doing in six months the work assigned for the year. This can be done only in rare instances, unless the work assigned is too little for the average pupil; and in this case the assignment is wrong. But if semi-annual promotion means that the work of a grade is only what a pupil can do in six months, and if there is to be a change of teachers every six months, then it may be doubted whether such promotions are best. It is one of the evils of a graded system of schools that pupils change teachers so often ; this evil is not indeed without its compensa- tions ; but to double the number of changes, is of more than doubtful utility.
THOROUGHNESS.
There is high authority for the opinion that pupils ought not, necessarily, to be detained upon a subject till it is completely mastered-in other words, that it is quite possible to overdo in the matter of thoroughness. If a pupil is to be kept in a class or a grade, and upon a certain part of a subject, till he knows absolutely all about it so far, he would never advance; for the
352

complete comprehension of arithmetic, for example, is not pos- sible without a knowledge of the higher mathematics; and the elementary knowledge of grammar is not perfect till it is illumined by the light of a broader knowledge. All elementary knowledge appears to be incomplete. Now, with only an imper- fect apprehension of the earlier steps, it may sometimes be better for a pupil to advance, trusting to future study to let in the light upon what is now dim, than to keep him groping too long in this dimness for the light, and thus to destroy his interest. It may often be better to promote pupils who are not fully " prepared," than to keep them back. Idleness, indifference, carelessness, are bad habits which ought to be corrected ; but it may well be doubted whether the best cure for these evils is a refusal to pro- mote. Fear of not being promoted is not the best spur to activ- ity. If no other means can be devised to arouse the indolent, it is quite doubtful whether this will do much good. What is here said about the extreme of thoroughness must not be understood as giving countenance to carelessness or a slip-shod kind of study or teaching. By creating an interest in study, and by the very best presentation of every subject taught, the minds of pupils should be directed, and led, and made alert and active so far as possible. But after all has been said and done, there will be many pupils by whom a part, greater or less, will be but feebly comprehended ; and the question is whether they should be detained at this particular stage till they understand, and can do, as well as the rest, or whether they should pass on.
In general, it is useless to attempt to bring all up to the same degree of excellence ; and it is better to go forward. Our teach- ers are too conscientious, it is believed, to relax their efforts at all because they know this truth.
