LEAVES A KEY TO
Upon the suggestion and advice of
our city superintendent, Mr. Stock-
ton, at the beginning of the present
school year, we made some changes
in the matter of administration and
supervision of the grade buildings.
Heretofore the principal has been
such in name only, but has been re
quired to put in his full time in
teaching the eighth grade. We have
employed two special eighth grade
substitute teachers, who relieve the
principal» of one-half of their work,
the principals devoting this time to
the supervision of the work of their
buildings, and in assisting various
backward stud«nts in the various
grade« in their work, thus enabling
them t® accomplish better wark. We
have found this to be a very satis
factory arrangement, and enable® tbe
superintendent to keep in touch with
all the grad««® in a manner otherwla®
impossible.
