During the first year of Mr. Shawan's service the following plan of promotions was announced : 1. The teachers to make an occasional estimate of the daily work of each pupil in each study, to constitute the grade in recitations : 2. Three regular written examinations to be held during the year, the third covering the work of the entire year including that graded ; 3. An estimate in habits of study to be made once or more per year as a test of the degree of application ; 4. Pupils sustaining an average grade of eightyfive or more in any study, taking the three foregoing elements into account, to be excused from final examination provided the standing in deportment is eightyfive or more; 5. Seventy to be the passing grade in each branch of study. This plan has proved satisfactory and has been applied, in substance, to the High School. In the lowest primary grades instruc- tion in reading is begun with the sentence method, "as children comprehend a simple thought expressed in words more readily than they do an idea as expressed by a single word." Further on, a combined method is used embracing the good points of the word and phonic methods. On January 1, 1892, C. W. Slocum was appointed special teacher of penmanship, and recently the Board has engaged Anton Leibold as a special instructor in physical culture. The classifica- tion of the schools has remained substantially unchanged; in buildings of less than twelve rooms the principals are held responsible for the government of the entire

building ; in buildings containing twelve or more rooms the principals teach cer- tain classes regularly, give model lessons for inexperienced teachers and take per- sonal charge of the backward pupils; the principal of the High School teaches from one to two classes regularly.
When women were first employed as principals, it was done as a matter of economy and with many misgivings as to the success that would attend this inno- vation ; but experience has justified the step to such an extent that the Board has adopted the equitable rule that salaries in school work should be based on the character of the service performed without regard to sex, and in accordance with this enlightened view, the Board of Education, on June 17, 1890, placed the female teachers in the High School on the same basis as to compensation as the male teachers, which is to say, they were to receive $1,000 for the first year's service and an increase of $100 per year until the maximum of $1,500 should be reached. As early as 1846 Samuel Galloway recommended the substitution of female for male teachers, but not merely as a measure of economy nor from the weightier consideration that the sehools could be maintained for a longer period ; but from the "conviction that more eminent moral and intellectual advantages would result to the country." "Woman," said he, "appears to be Heaven-anointed for ministering in the sacred temple of education."
" I am glad to be able," says Superintendent Shawan, " to testify to the pro- fessional spirit of our teachers." The Columbus Educational Association has a large membership, and the various reading eireles organized under the direction of the Ohio Teachers' Reading Cirele have an aggregate membership of 181, Columbus having a larger membership than any other city in the State. The enrollment in the High School now exceeds one thousand ; in 1889 it was 652.
Instruction in music, introduced in 1854, has ever since been included in the course of study. Its early teachers were Messrs. Dunbar, Phipps, VanMeter, Carl L. Spohr, Carl Schoppelrei and Hermann Eckhardt. Professor Eckhardt resigned in 1873 and was succeeded by J. A. Scarritt. Mason's Natural Musie Course, known as the Boston System, was adopted. In 1880, Miss Mary II. Wirth, a teacher of ability, was placed in charge of the department of musie in the lligh School. On June 29, 1886, Professor Searritt resigned. His successor was W. H. Lott, by whom the course of musical instruction was revised and the National Music Course was adopted. In 1888 he was directed by the Board to give special instruction to all the teachers who were unable to teach music satisfactorily. His salary was raised during the same year to two thousand dollars. On the occasion of the reception of General Grant in 1878 a chorus composed of two thousand school children under the direction of Professor Scarritt rendered the song of welcome written for the occasion. " The singers were massed in the Rotunda of the Statehouse and made its arches ring with carnest, joyous welcome." One of the memorable features of the opening day of the Ohio Centennial in 1888 was the rendering, under direction of Professor Lott, of the Centennial song by a chil- dren's chorus of one thousand voices. Recently the Board of Education bas adopted a rule that every teacher shall be qualified to give instruction in music.

ILISTORY OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS.
In 1872 instruction in drawing was given by the teacher of penmanship. At a later dater Walter Smith's system of industrial drawing was introduced and Pro- fessor William Briggs, of Boston, was engaged to instruct the teachers and mark out a graded course in this branch. Before the opening of the schools in the fall of 1874, Professor Walter S. Goodnough was elected Superintendent of Art Education at a salary of $1,500. A graded course of Art instruction was intro- dueed, drawing classes were organized, and on November 18, 1875, a free even- ing art school was opened which continued for some time with an average attendance of from forty to fifty pupils. A room was specially fitted up for drawing purposes in the High School and was supplied with a generous collec- tion of examples and models. Miss N. Neale Stewart, who had for some time been special teacher of drawing in the High School, resigned in 1879 and was succeeded by Miss Helen Fraser. The salary of Professor Goodnough was raised in 1882 to $1,800.
Under his supervision the course in drawing developed into a system of manual training. In December, 1890, Professor Goodnough resigned to take charge of a similar department in the, schools of Brooklyn, New York, and Miss Helen Fraser was elected as his successor. Miss Jane D. Patterson was promoted to the position of teacher of drawing in the High School, and Miss Lizzie Cook was elected an assistant teacher in the same branch.
In his first annual report Superintendent Stevenson suggested to the Board of Education the propriety of establishing in the High School a class for instruction in teaching, and in the following year the Board of City Examiners expressed the opinion that a training school for the preparation of teachers should be estab- lished. On September 25, 1875, a school for normal instruction, to be held each Saturday forenoon, was opened under direction of the Principal of the High School, who was assisted by such members of the corps of teachers as he might select. The teachers chosen for this service performed it without extra compensation. The course of instruction embraced the theory and practice of teaching, reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, geography, physics and German, and was limited to two years. Upon its completion a certificate of recommendation to the City Board of Examiners was granted after a satisfactory test of proficiency. High School pupils who had reached the age of sixteen were entitled to the privileges of the normal class. The number of seholars enrolled in this school varied from sixty to one hundred and twentyfour. It soon became evident that the elass could not supply thoroughly qualified teachers ; nevertheless it was an initiatory step toward the establishment of a normal department. In August, 1883, the Board of Educa- tion authorized the organization of a normal school to be placed under the charge of Miss L. Hughes as Principal, and Miss N. T. Wolverton as training teacher. The school was opened in the Sullivant building during the following September and consisted of two departments, one of theory and one of training. The train- ing departments comprised three and sometimes four primary schools, usually of different grades. Pupils were admitted after having completed the High School course, or its equivalent, and having been tested in the fundamental branches by the City Board of Examiners. In 1889 the school was reorganized in pursuance of

a plan reported by the normal school committee of the Board of Education adopted July 10. Thenceforward the normal course comprised a department of theory and two departments of practice, one of the latter consisting of eight model schools located in pairs in separate buildings and including the primary and grammar grades ; the other department of practice included the eightroom buildings and such others as the Superintendent might select. On July 16, 1889, Miss Margaret W. Sutherland was elected Principal of the Normal School and Miss Alma Simp- son, Miss Mary Gordon and Miss Pauline Mees were elected as training teachers. In 1890 Miss Anna M. Osgood and Miss Augusta Becker were also elected training teachers, the latter in lieu of Miss Simpson, who resigned. Under the supervision of Miss Sutherland, who is widely known as assistant editor of the Ohio Edued- tional Monthly, the normal school has taken rank among the best of its kind in the State. Its course includes psychology and moral science, school management and the history of education, and a review of the common branches with reference to methods of teaching. The kind of school government inenleated " is that which aims at character culture as its result." The department of theory and two of the model schools under the training teachers are located in the Sullivant building ; two of the model schools are in the Garfield, two in the Central German and two in the Fifth Avenue building. In the department of observation and practice the pupil-teachers assist the principals to whom they have been assigned and in this way obtain an insight into the general working of the schools of the city.
Before the Normal School was organized about twothirds of the teachers annually employed by the Board had been educated in the public schools of the city. Most of them had graduated from the High School, but a few had passed through the grammar grades only. Since the Normal School has been established the standard of teaching qualifications has been raised and few untrained teachers have been employed. Of the 297 teachers now employed in the schools of the city, 205 are graduates of the High School and 115 are graduates of the Normal School.
Ever since the gradation of the schools in 1847 the school library has been cherished as an important educational agency. Early in Doctor Lord's administration a library of books on the subject of education and the theory and practice of teaching was formed. In 1853 the High School library contained 649 volumes ; the libraries of the grammar departments 1,635 volumes ; total 2,284. In 1872 the number of books in the High School library had increased to about thirteen hundred. At the opening of the City Library on March 1, 1873, the Board of Education placed therein 385 volumes. Further deposits from the same source were made as follows : August 21, 1874, one hundred volumes; September 28, 1875, two hundred and nineteen volumes. These later deposits chiefly consisted of juvenile books transferred from the High School. On July 19, 1875, an arrangement was made between the Board of Education and the Trustees of the City Library whereby the two libraries were temporarily united, that of the city being controlled by a Board of Trustees consisting of the Mayor, the President of the City Conneil, the President of the Board of Education and four members elected by the Council. Rev. J. L. Grover was the Librarian. To this board was entrusted the keeping and management of the school library, the Board of Educa

tion bearing about half of the expense. Since 1876 the Board of Education has received the benefit of a tax levy of onetenth of a mill per dollar for library pur- poses, and the City Council has had for the same purpose a levy of onetwentieth of a mill per dollar. In 1890, 16,796 of the 28,000 volumes in the combined libraries belonged to that of the schools. The veteran librarian, Rev. J. L. Grover, bas had for his assistants John J. Pugh and Evan J. Williams, who still have charge of the Public Library.
But the combined collections of books outgrew their accommodations in the City Hall, and an obvious duty devolved upon the Board of Education of provid- ing for the school collection separate apartments where it would be under the exclusive management of the Board. Accordingly, after careful consideration of the prices and availability of varions sites and properties, the committee on Public School Library recommended that the Town Street Methodist Episcopal Church should be purchased for $35,000, and that it should be reconstructed and furnished for the uses of the library and the official meetings of the Board. This recom- mendation was unanimously adopted; on June 3, 1890, the purchase was con- summated ; and in 1891 the reconstruction of the building was completed. The building is centrally located, architecturally handsome, and, in addition to its principal library room, 52 x 59 feet, provides assembly rooms for teachers and principals, rooms for the Board of Education and offices for the superintendents and clerks. On March 24, 1891, J. H. Spielman was elected Librarian ; on April 20 of the same year Miss Hattie Toler was elected first, and Mrs. Charles Taft second assistant librarian. At a later date Mrs. J. L. Eastman, was engaged as clerk. On April 7, 1892, the building was formally opened, and thus, on the spot where seventysix years ago a primitive school was conducted in a little log church on the outskirts of a pioneer settlement, has been established the library of the schools of a great and prosperous city. The Public Library is still maintained in the City Hall and continues to grow in extent and usefulness. Both it and the school collection are alike open to the general public as well as to teachers and scholars.
