following report. In oar Judgment
theteaeberliiapublic graded school
can accomplish nxno by teaching 6
1 51 hours per day in one session
in under any other system. We
now hare « boom including one re-
« for Uttbfcb** and three tor the
bntafnln Wo an aatfaBod tota-
crease the hours would endanger the
health and retard the progress of the
children. Those who compare public
graded schools with private schools
in this regard fell to obeervo the ce-
sentlal difference between the two
aysteim. In the graded school the
teaebsr of 40 pupils never has more
than two and often only one class. In
the ungraded school, the teacher with
forty pupils would have from 15 to 20
classes. Under the graded system
the teacher can accomplish more in 5
hours than the same teacher eould ae-
compliso In 10 hours in an ungraded
school. In an ungraded school where
there are many classes, the dally ses
sions are necessarily longer, but the
mind of the child is relaxed in many
ways flunillar to all who have attend
ed old field schools.
The teacher in the graded school
with one or at most two claims, if be
discharges his doty, keeps the mind
of the <mlld earnestly occupied dur
ing the school session. In the oh)
field school the method of instruction
was diffusive: in the graded school
it Is highly intensive. Under the
the new system there was more or
less schoolroom relaxation; under the
new, the mind of the teacher and pu
pil is kept In a constant stmin during
the entire session.
Ours Is a graded system of schools,
similar to those in operation In Ma-
eon, Augusta, Savannah and Atlanta
In each of the cities above named
there Is one dally session. In Atlan
ta the length cf the dally session is
“—■*— ours. While in
it is 30 minntes
ours. Public graded
schools have been in successive oper
ations in three cities from 12 to 18
years, and we are assured by the offi
cers In charge of these schools that
more can be accomplished in one daily
session of 6 hours than by any other
plan. Under date of Jany. 23rd 1885.

I have seen no reason to change the
opinion given by me at that time
to the number of hours children
Hhould be under school instructions
daily, and I think I put the matter
as follows: For children from G to 8
yean of age. 3} hours: from 8 to 10
4 hours; from 10 to 12,4} hours; with
no home lessons—from 12 to 14, 41
boon in school with work for about
1 hours at home, or the one hour in
•eAoot If more convenient, as in an un
graded school: from 14 to 10.7 hours
In school and at home, (this would
rarely exceed six hours for girls, a.*-
rhey are quicker at this age than
In city graded schools with cne
class to each teacher, the hours given
above can be secured by or before 2
p. m. each day and full allowance be
made for recesses, and for many rea
son* will give these cheerfully if de
sired. I would always finish up the
day’s work by that time—in one ses
sion. But in large ungraded school*
with several classes to each teacher it
is not practicable to secure the length
of session mentioned by or before 2
its instruction in consecutive hours; in
an ungraded school with many classes
to a teacher each class takes its turn,
therefore to receive the same amount
of instruction it must spend more
hours in the school room than the
single class of the city graded schools.

with copy of last report of Public
Schools of Americas received and for
wame you have my thanks. In reply
to your question as to how long the
daily session of Public Schools should
be, I beg to say that I think the gen
eral opinion Is, among the best educa
tors, that/ee houm a day will enable
pupils and teachers to accomplish
more substantail work than can be
done In a longer time. There are
many reasons which support the
claim, and which bears on the health,
spirt, nerve power, etc. of both
teacher and pupil. I believe that in
all the large centre of education these
view* obtain. This time may be
divided up into two sessions a day
it desired, but in the Publlfe Schools
of Richmond coanty, we have for
many years found that one session
from 9 to 2 o’clock is the best, and 1
believe this is the role In the other
large cities of the State.

In regards to prolonging the dally
“*— w —• -ft
beyond five hoars, I think _
Vs unwise in every point of view.
The Board of Education in 8avannah
are disposed to shorten, rather than
lengthen the session. They say that
five boors of Caithftil mental work is as
much as children ought to be requir
ed todo. The experience of all good
teachers proves that more results of
good teaming are now shown, than
when two sessions were the rale, to
lengthen your session would be at
tended with ensatisfseting results. It
would be In toe nature of a retregade
movement. You are awalr that In
our schools in Savannah, our primary
children are kept in school only four
hoars with two recesses or in other
words they are held to school work
only three boom and fifteen minntes.
That is quite long enough for little
children. The intermediate classes
kept four hours and a half, and
other classes five hours including
am. I do not think, the communi
ty would tolerate extending the ses
sion, beyond five hours.
Yonrs Truly,
W. H. Baker.

Before tbo native institutions of Su
matra were suppressed by tho conquer
ing white*, there were three kinds of
marriage in nae among the natives, one
in which the man purchased the woman
one in which tbe woman purchased the
man, and one in which the transaction
was on term* of equality. The first is
easily understood and no way novel; the
second is somewhat carious. The
father of a young woman of high rank
looks around for a proper husband for
Us daughter, and generally takes Urn
from an Inferior family. The young
man’s relations pay a stipulated
■urn for the honor he is about to receive,
a feast is made, and from that time “the
good and bod of him,” a peculiar
Sumatran expression for the'better or
worse, is vested in his new owners. He
is between a son and a servant; if he
does mischief his wife's family nay bis
flue; if be is killed they receive tho
blood-money for him, and, whit is most
peculiar, all he earns by his work be
comes their property, and if they get
tired of him they can send him away
without a cent, as poor as when ho
came.
In the allianco on terms of equality
each contributes in an equal degree to
the common stock, and if the marriage
proves inharmonious a separation is ef
fected and the goods and all that has
been gained by the common labor are
divided equally between the parties and
each departs to seek nsw and more con
genial bonds.

I defect which has

side waa ths fact that the bandies, both
ivory and horn, were not tempered to
resist climatic influence. Though far
ther north than Chicago, the chmate of
Great Britain is much milder, and be
cause of its oceanic exposure the atmos
phere is more humid. Knives mounted
m (Sheffield and received in Chicago
were all right till the cold weather come,
but nights of extreme frigidity proved
so disastrous to the British cutlery that
ivory, pearl, and horn handles would
cut un like so much corn in a hopper.
A down-town firm had a night-watch
man who heard strange noises in the
cutlery department every night, and not
only believed it to be the abode of ghosts
but actually gave up his situation from
sheer fright. The stock was overhauled,
and it was found to be damaged to tho
extent of several thousand dollars.
Even in showcases of retail houses, or
in anjr locality where they would be
posed to low temperature, the handles
of tbeee goods would crack beyond tbe
possibility of concealment or repair.
