The gradation of our country schools ought to be based on a course of study which guides by succosslvo steps to an objective point, and yet be so broad in its scope as to successfully meet the requirements of the different phase In each district. The diversity of toxt books, the irregular attendance, the variation in length of term, the frequent change of teacher these and muny other things make It extremely iiillloult to formulate such a course. Speor's "Courso of Study" for common schools comes as near as any within our knowledge of meeting tbe necessary roqulrenonts.

Promotion may bo made not only by classes, but by Individuals at such times as the Individual progress of the pupils demand It. By this means the natural adaptability, the Inventive genius and the progressive Individuality of the bright pupil Is not retarded; but the dull 0110 Is stimulated and guldea by clearly deflned steps to definite results. The student Is thus led to "build the ladder'' by whloh he rises, and, "round by round," to mount to the summit of a well rounded education. Just here we wish to add, that, In our humble opinion, the theoretical parallel- Ism supposed to bo enacted In some of the graded schools of the city Is as unde-sirublo in tli-j country schools as it Is Impractical. We are not In favor of that rigid gradation which requires every child to sing before It ciphers; nor should everyone be compelled to pass the "dead-line" in mathematics before he Is permitted to study the history of his country.

True, "man can not live by bread alone," nor can the student ucquiro un ideal education by the study of one sub ject alone and yet, jve fear that to re quire him to devour the complete substance of all subjects, even in the common school curriculum, might over-load the Intellectual stomach. His natural tastes may lead him to completely masticate the one and to drink only of the elementary juices of the other "What ever is natural is right." In the ungraded school there Is no definite end in view to be reached by successive steps. time is wasted In aimless exertion. Thare Is a want of definite aim and purpose on the part of tbe teacher and pupils. There seems to be no objective points to be reached.

The pupils are passengers on uncertain railroad without any regular stations or terminating point. than all, there is no reliable record left of the cla ideation of the school or of the work done by each pupil for the guidance of ttye succeeding teacher. While the pupils In the ungraded school may be encouragoJ to "aim high" in their work as students. Yet, there Is danger of them losing sight of souio of the fundamental steps necessary to a woll-rounded education. The principal need of grading the country schools, it seems to mo, lies in the hopo of redeeming them from sfata of independent chaos.

While we admit that many bright lights have risen from the ungraded schools of the country, yet we believe that the work of tbe grutled school would come nearer meeting the object pre-3upposed by the state, and that the result would bo more benetiicial to the majority. But some one asks, "Can the country schools be graded" This question Is pertinent only in certain localities. Their gradation is no longer considered a mere whim of some aggressive enthusiast. Such a system is in successful operation in several of the states. The rural schools of Indiana have been graded for more than ten years.

Every genuine "Hoosier school master" now carries with him two courses of stiulv one In his Cash is the lover that moves the world. Cash is secures our bargains. Again with thanks and our btst bow fur past favor received, and with sincjre to all for a happy and prosperous New Year, we remain Yours Respectful! J.

I1T- Winter hk but fl-uided bv the evidence of thinirs seen and the experience of the pust, let us not be weary In well doing, nor be discouraged by partial futlures but stimulated by present success and new hopes, press forward Into the future with an un daunted will and an active purpose The impunuuco uuu jjiuencui ueneni iu ue derived from some such system cannot be over-estimated or questioned. As to the work that Is being done In Nemaha county this year, we have reason to feel encouraged. With the hope of aiding the teachers In grading and classifying their schools, ubout the opening of each term, a classification register with course of study and blanks for reports were sent to each teacher.

These contain printed instructions for the guidance of the teacher. By this means a uniform system of classification is secured thorughout the county. Each teacher was asked to make a record of the grading and classification of the school during the first weok, and at the end of tho first month to send a report to the county superintendent. Nearly nil the teachers have faithfully complied with these requirements. Near the close of the term, each teach er should make a final record of the gradation of the school and of the work done oy eacn pupu, wan suggestions to the succeeding teacher, and Bend a fae simile report to the county superintendent This finale record will enable the "new teacher" to begin the work in good order the first day of school.

When a pupil has "passed" in a majority of the studies In his class he should be given a "certificate of promotion" to the next higher class- The skillful teacher can make this an effective stimulus to the pupil. Arrangements are being made to grant "Common School Diplomas" to all pupils who complete the course of study. leachers should assist pupils in be coming familiar with the course of study teaching them to know their class and grado A Very easy way to do this is to require them to write their class and grade on their examination papers drawings, essays aud other written work. Do notread a chapter from the course of study every day, to your school, rather let a little leaven leaven the whole. J.
