“Not » Bad Showing” Meviewed.
Eprror Transcriet: The article
contributed by Professor Cowdery,
published in the Transcript of the
23d inst., affords some valuable statistics for the. further enlightenment
of the public, for which we all should
feel thankful,
He gives us the number of scholars enrolled in the High school as
wellas this district, and suggests
some remedies against the wholesale graduations heretofore made at
the back door, He also compares
the High school here with the High
schools of other places in this State
where Boards of Education have been
established; but his figures the more
conclusively show the preating ne~eessity-for-reform: ~~
In most of the places named by
Mr. Cowdery, the injured people
have been demanding the repeal of
the laws creating their Boards of
Education, and refhanding the government of their public schools back
to the district schools, :
Mr. Cowdery gives us the percentage the pvesent Board propose to
graduate this year from the High
achool, and it will be nearly 20 per
per cent. of the Highschool, or 14
pupils. We can calculate it thus:
700 :14 :: 100 ;: 2, or two per cent.
This is the true showing. Not very
favorable. If 14 pupils are graduated in one year, it will taxeas many
years to graduate 700 as 14 is contained times into 700, or 50 years.
Could the showing be worse? Then,
# child-entering schoot-at 6 years-of
age would naturally, unless favored,
be 56 years old before graduating.
_Mr. Cowdery says: “The class we .
“will graduate this year “Will average .
over @ year younger than the class
of last year.” The members of this
class raised in Nevada City, (Minnie Beckman and others) to my certain Knowledge were pretty well advanced in their studivs before the
grading inaugurated by Supernumerary Carmichael was established.
The numerous grades. that_were established under. that regime are
doubtless responsible for the acciNOOR Eee SAe RSA HR ME RII
a
tion, It has been growing worse
and worse under the system of grading then established and since continued, uatil-we are able to establish
by a mathematical certainty tha: unless the system is changed a child entering our schools at.this day cannot
be graduated even through our High
school before he or she is 56 years
old, unless by favoritism. Wewant
no favoritism employed by either
Board or teachers,
Mr. Cowdery agrees with me that
there should be some remedy against
the wholesale graduation heretofore
made at the back door, but seems to
consider that I meant the back door
of the High school. The back door
graduations have been all along the
numerous: grades organized by the
authority, we will suppose, of the
Board of Education, To speak the
plaiu truth, the graded system heretofore established under the authority of the Board has virtually degraded the children of this district
from the public schools. The remedy for thie is self-suggesting. Three
or four grades’ are enough. Establish enough schools of the Primary
grade to accommodate all the children, having but one. grade for all
pupils of the Primary grade, When
children are promoted fron: the Primary grade, promote them directly
to the Intermediate grade or Grammar grade as Mr. Cowdery terms it.
het enough schools of said Intermediate or Grammar grade be established to accommodate the pupils so
promoted to said grade as aforesaid.
When pupils are promoted from the
Intermediate or Grammar grade, let
them be promoted directly to the
High school. Let there be as many
schools of the High school grade esNasi apa

Then it
We need a radical change, for it is
a conceded fact that the masses have
suffered irreparable injury by our
graded schools. Some favorites have
been allowed to skip over the graded
barriers that have held back the
masses, and reach the High school
in good time; but they are the exceptions, and the exceptions are genetI have no doubt that Professor _

district of this day are inferior in intellect or otherwise to those of 1874,
nor those under the administration
of Messrs. McChesney, Preston and
general have been put back in their
studies, again and again, without any
other view in so doing apparently,
than to prevent the crowdlng of the
higter schools, Children and parents get discouraged under. such
treatment, and are they to blame?
We believe in thoroughness, but it
cannot be secured in that way, nor
has that been the apparent object.
The Board should have no axes to
grind individually or collectively;
end should give every parent and
child fair play. J, I. Catpwe tr.
