This work has improved, very much in the Primary schools during the last two years. But many pupils that could read
83
well when in the lower grades, after reaching the High school have apparently lost capability in this direction.
I believe that in the case of the average pupil, half the effort in the study of literature is lost if the pupil be not a good oral reader, that is, be not able to read readily, with expression, and with the power to cause a listener to see the mental picture intended by the author.
As Abraham Lincoln said of this government, that "it is of the people, for the people, and by the people," so is it true of the public schools in respect to their origin, purpose and maintenance. Thus it is incumbent upon all concerned in the management of the schools to so guard their interests that they shall not fail to minister to the needs of their re- spective communities.
THE HIGH SCHOOL.
I think the matter of establishing a three years' course of study at the High school is worthy of consideration.
We are obliged by law to maintain a four years' course, but we could, in connection therewith, offer a course of three years, arranged with a view to serving the interests of those pupils not contemplating either a Normal school or a college course.
Many of these pupils drop out of the High school at the end of one or two years, who would in most cases remain if they could formally graduate at the end of three years. Also a three years' course can be made more interesting and pro- fitable to some pupils than a four years' course, because of the omission of certain subjects for which they have no taste, which they would be obliged to take in working a four years' course. This idea, at first, may seem contrary to arguments advanced in favor of a ninth grade. The ninth grade work is necessary for those contemplating a course at a Normal school or a college, as those intending to pursue such courses
84
could not do work of the nature required for admittance to higher institutions without the training afforded by the ninth grade.
Without some such outlet as a three years' course, all would be subject to the conditions imposed by the State, whereas with such a course in operation, those obliged to earn their own support, early in life, and those having no aptitude for certain subjects, could come together in a class, for which the work could be especially arranged.
This, of course, is only a suggestion, and will be put into effect only at the desire of a majority interested and concerned.
Following this report will be found a course of study for the ninth grade and the High school, with explanations con- cerning the same.
Respectfully submitted, C. A. RECORD.
