W. N. Thomas, of Hatboro, - gave a. report from the convention of state school directors.. He thinks a witler di^ussiou of the subjects presented would have been m6re helpful, which Was agreed to by Mr. Gamer. Mr. Rahn gave a report from the convention of city and borough school Buperintendeots.in which he stated the keynote as "the best for tbe children," and one of the discussions Was class vs. individual instruction, in which the suggestion was made of three days class instruction and two of individual TieTp aiid special ooacliing to tliOse who need it in order to thoroughly grasp the subjects at hand. Tlie relation of high achooland nor¬ mal school was discussed by E. L. Flack, who said the question, appears to have arisen from the desire of the city 6uperinl!bndents to secure more credit for the pupils who have pursued a portion ol tlie normal course before leaving tbe city schools. Mr. Wagner introducett a chart of a simplified conrse of study and explain¬ ed that it was compiled by some 70 snperintondonts of the state with a special view of adapting the curriculum to the capabilitiea of the average stud¬ ent as he or she progresses, in educa¬ tional development. It is especially valuable as giving the time thought best to be devoted to each study in each year. —___lll._ ..,_.'.; "Eliminating the Grammar School" wai dlscnsaed by H. G. Laudis, of Lansdale, who presented the facts of a recent paper by Dr. ObanceUer, who contends the present plan of devoting two years to the grammar school does not supply the needs of the pupils. He would arrange rather a four-year's intermediate course, which would possess the decided advantage of detain ing the pupils for four years under a special teacher iu each of c^ie main branches of the curriculum. Mr.' Fox endorsed the plan,as it cer-^ taialy'Would prove most advantageous' to the pupil and' allow th^ teacher ta rbund out a fiaished student at the end of the period.and at' the same time the pupil, should he or she desire to leave- school at tho end of this-Tiearlod, would be more fit to take a position. Under miscellaneous bosiness, Mr. Bergey suggested the need of keeping proper rebords in the school and said he bad been working on a plan by "which the teachers would keep marks i^tbepnpUs in alt studies, present tibese monthly to the principal who could then spread thwn before the board ftiK' it* eoBatdanttlon and en- lightempent aa to the progress of the lull ?
