there are 1 23 rnembers--7 of them flrold over
from the previous elcctioii. 5 of whom, are
claiiried as Beirtonites and 2 as anti-Bentonites ;
of the remaining 20, tlre"Vt7liigs have elected
12, the Bentonites 6, uncertain 2.
The House ol Representatives, as farias as-

Nrzw TAX Lis'r.—-The Board of Equaliza-
tion have issued a. circular and a Blank form of
-11' List, for the purpose (bless their kind hearts)
of shedding a gleam of light upon the darkness
that broods over the requirements of the new
tax law. Relief never was nrore needed, and
never came more timely. And yet, after all,
we cannot, even with the light thus afforded,
see‘ our way clear. This swearing to a list,
made up at best, by mere conjec-ture—the ve-
riest. guess work, is putting ones conscience to
a somewhat severe trial. By what standard
is a man to arrive at the value of his farur ? Can
any one erect a standard '1 Iflris naked farm is
worth a given sum, must not a sliding scale be
adopted to regulate the value in consideration
of each load of manure that iiray have been
added or withheld during the year? For every
crop, too growing or garnered, must not the
valuation vary '! But here is the list! Our far-

Classification of Schools.
Mr. Editor :—I herewith send you a Report
on Class’ifying Schools, which was read before
the Board of'Sclrool Visitors of New Canaan,
and by them approved. It. was afterwards
read in a School Meeting ofour Centre District,
and after some discussion and amendment, was
adopted, andithe effort has been made, prac-
tically to carry it into effect during the present
summer. If you think it worth your while for
publication, it is at your service.
Report-
The Committee appointed to consider the
expediency and propriety of Classification of
S0l100lS. and to report a plan, begs leave to
report that, he is of the opinion that with.a
judicious classification or gradation of schools
with the sanre teachers, or with those of equal
ability and faithfulness, the children in those
schools would gain one-third or one-half more
of useful knowledge, if not double that now ac
quired in the same number of years, This
opinion is not based upon his own impression
alone. but upon the observation of those who
have witnessed the actual result of such a
system. In Far-mington, where the plan has
been tried,the School Visitors report that “ The
pupils have made surprising advance in their
studies, in comparison with our other schools."
The Board of Visitors of Worthington, (the 3d
Soc. of Berlin) in speaking of a classification,
_ say—“The progress ofthe school in the Middle
Districtduijirrg the last two winters, has amply
proved the wisdom of the plan." The visitors

the Rule of: Three was the summum‘_boa um of a
common school education. Now. the highe1'»
branclies are taught iir them with decided suc-
cess, and recitations may be heard, not only
the common branches of geography, grammar,“
arithmetic and rhetoric. and also in algebra.
geometry, the latin and French languages, ézc.
Nothing contributes more to this object than
division of labor." This division of labor, it
will be seen is the essential feature of the plan
your committee would desire to see‘ adopted.

remark—-‘- In \Vor'cester°, Lowell, Salem,
Roxbury, Cambridge and many other cities cor-
responding with our own. in respect to popula-
tion, free schools are established of so elevated
a character, as to compel even the wealtlry,
who wish to give their children the best edu-
cation possible, to abandon the private schools
for the superior advantages of those which are
open to all.” One extract more we wish to
make from the report of the Ridgeficld Board
of Visitors: *‘ \Vliat is most observable in the
condition of our sahools. is the great and mark-
ed dili'vi'eiice in theattainments of the scholars.
In or e school we find the children of 7 and 8
years fullas for advanced as they are in anoth-
er school at the ages of 12 and 13 years. Here
is seen a difference of full five ycarsbetween
the scholars sent to one school, and those sent-
to another. New, whatcaii make this differ‘-
ence. if it. is not to be foirird in the real merits
of the two schools ? The people of one district.
would hardly allow that their children are nul-
urally dtg/‘icicrrl in intellect, so as t.o be 5 years
behind their neighbors; and yet they are
really and truly that much behiird them, ac-
count for it as yo_u may. The truth, then.
comes to this,—t.hat children can learn as much
in a good school in 4 years, as they can in a
poor one, in 9 years. Let those who are quick
in figures calculate which is the cheapest.”
Ifthese children can learn so much more in
a given time in a good school than in a poor one,
need any one doubt the expediency and propi'i—
iety of strenuous efforts being made to elevate
our schools to the highest position '1 It is be-
lieved that our children possess as great capac-
ity for learning, that we have as good teachers
and that there is the ability among the parents
to sustain as good schools as can anywhere be
fmiid. \Vhat; then is wanted to make our
schools equal if not superior to those around,
us? It is in our opinion the want of ajudi-
cious system of classification or gradation of
schools. It is the want of a division oflabor
—such division of labor in the business of ed-
ucation as is adopted with so good practical
success iii the various manufacturing establish-
ments. And to show that this is not an itriag-
inary, but air actual want, we must be permit-
ted to adduce certain facts as they now actually
exist in the two departments of our school
in district No. 1. On visiting those schools
yesterday we found in one departruent; two
scholars studying algebra-—in the other depart-
ment one. Now if those three scholars could
be in the same class under either of the teach-
ers, the time of one recitation would he saved.
But further, there is the satire loss of time and
labor‘ in almost all the studies pursued. In one
room we fritd two classes in grammar—in the
other two also, which make four classes. Now
these, were they in the same room, could read-
ily be reduced to two classes witlront airy detri-
ment to the pupils. The same facts exisit in
relation to both geography and arithmetic. and
indeed in relation to almost all the studies pur-
sued. The time and attention of both teach-
ers are occupied with hearing recitations in the
same studies of small classes of about the same
degree of advancement, when either one could
hear and instruct both classes in one, just a
well as in two. And in this iuanner the labor
of one or the other ‘of the teachers is lost to
the children, to the amount of not less than one
half'o'r one-eiglrth of both teachers’ ti me. And
if this system is to continue, one-fourth‘ part of
the money "paid by the district. about $82, for
tlre ensuing term. is not much better than
thrown away, so far ps the increased improve-
ment of the children is concerned. To make
this clear, let us consider these facts. There
is in the department;'of the male teacher, six
or eight. scholars in the [st class of Geography;
in that of the female teacher three in the first
class. Now the two classes brought together
in either department would inake-one classwitli
11, which could be heard the stripe length of
lesson by either teacher in about the same time
that either class could separately. Again. in
the first department, the second class in Geog-
raphy comprises t.ivo—iir the 2d department
the second class is composed of six pupils, these
brought together would make eight, which as
before could be heard by one teacher as well
as by both. The same facts exist in relation
to Arithmetic. So that it is thought to bea
candid estimate that one eighth of the time of
each teacher is occupied in hearing lessons
that mightjnst as well, so far as the pupils are
concerned, he heard. by either. These two-
eiglrts make one-fourth, and one-fourth of the
wages for the ensuing term, $852 50. Thus
we see by the present vnrultiplicalion of labor,’
instead ofa judicious division, thed istrict must
P113’ $89 50 for that whizlr is no benefit to their
children. «
