Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report of the School Committee of the City of Newport, R. I: Together With the Annual Report of the Superintendent of Public Schools, 1866-67
The main points to which his attention has been thus far directed - with the approval and cc-operation of the Committee - have been the continued work of grading the schools, and their improvement in regularity and punctuality of attendance, as well as in discipline. He has also labored to organize a good series of teachers' meetings, and has taken much pains to analyze the geographical distribution of pupils and of school accommodations. On all these matters, we refer to his report for full information; and commend to your especial attention his statements in respect to school-houses.
It is the firm opinion of the Committee that a great work has been inaugurated for the schools of Newport, within the last two years. Evils and deficiencies have been already remedied, and marked improvements already secured. The whole system has been raised and improved; and there is one especial grade, the Gram mar Schools, in which the standard of instruction has been already brought to a high point. The same general policy should be pursued until all grades of our schools exhibit an equal or a higher degree of excellence.
