 On September 9, 1870, the County Superintendent, 
 A.M. Ohoat, -nakes the following explanation: 
 
 "In the belief that a greater knowledge In regard 
 to our city schools T»ould inspire greater interest therein, 
 the following statement is mBdat 
 
 "The school board have a .opted and pi' ced in the 
 hands of every teacher and ft lly, rules and regul-tlons 
 for the govern-ient of the public schools. The ?>rlnclpnl 
 object l3 to secure punctuality, proper dlllirence ond 
 deport-Tcnt on the port of teachers and pupils. 
 
 "A classicol coarse of study has oloo be* n odoptod 
 connirting of Q primary, a secondoyy, and a high sc" ool, with 
 proper grades in each. The Introduction of these regulntiona 
 and this course of study Is nov- ne^^r expori nent. IViey have 
 been in succersful operation in some of the tert schools In 
 ..astern states. Some difficulty will be enoountorod in the 
 classification of the pupils end In the inaugui'ation of those 
 
reculntions but these tnuat be suoinlttcd to. If we would hav«

 Anaiyausra Cutter's Ph/slology ond Punckenboss* Rhetoric were 
 
 found in the schools, and ir; the book.<tores, and for the 
 
 prooe'^t are retained, I think it would have been better, 
 
 however. In the printed course of ■ tudy, to have named Instead 
 
 of these, the books corresponding to tl.em in the Hut recoram-

 But you will find that oftlmes when the vay seems 
 unobstructed and free, a single step 'tis:' find you 
 surrounded by difficulties ns une:<pected and numerous 
 as .vhen the whistle of Koderick Dhu, 
 
 "Manned the unlnhn cited ;Tlen,

 by temptations and trials an more thnn the diamond la 
 rr.arred by the Just with which it is polished. Cha->^acter 
 transforms difficulties into wealth, as the oyster converts 
 the irritating grains of sand into shining pearls. Let 
 fiurke*s motto, Nitor In adversum", be TOurs, for the- only

 "Pluck bright honor from the pale-f«»ced moon. 
 Or dive Int-^ the bottom of the deep 
 ihere fathom line could never touch the ground. 
 And drag up drovmed honor by the locks," 
 
 who shine in r.dversity. 
 
 There has always been a great strife between Luck 
 and Pluck. The first receives the homage, offeri".gs and 
 libatl ns of tho sands, but it is Pluck alone v.ho 
 guarantees re^.rards. Luck refused flltiades the laurel 
 wreath - the only uoon he craved - after the iF.ttle of 
 Marathon-, ond for a paltry debt sr-ntenced him. to a 
 dunfjeon and to chains; Pluck h'^s recorded his nnm.e am.O'^g 
 those who those who are not born to die. Histor teems

 The new '.alsh arithj^etic is used throughout 
 
 the grades. In the introduction to the coarse of study, 
 
 Supt. -Stephens says: 
 Arithmetic 
 
 "Arithmetic is both a science and an art. 
 
 As a science it touches the relation and prlncioles of 
 
 numbers. As an art it em ;hasiBes the perations with hm 
 
 numbers. The pupil must become familiar 7;ith both the 
 
 art ond the science so that he may acquire both l-aiov/ledge 
 
 and power,— nowledge that is accurate and so systematized. 
 
 that it Is i odlately availsolc vhen needed and fsined by 
 
 such methods that enable the pupil to attend, t|» perceive, 
 
 to draw inferences, and to make p^eneral zations. 
 
 "Tbe pupil shovdW be given the opportunity 
 
 of seeing, with assistance, quantities in their relations. 
 
 DOING 'IDS in the SEFiNG. by logical questioning he s> ould 
 
 be led to discover adlitionnl relations not ^^even^ed to him

 to strengthen the teachers in their ork and t>iua strengthen
