Fifty Ninth Annual Report Of The Superintendent Of Public Instruction Of The State Of Michigan

Excerpt from Fifty-Ninth Annual Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State of Michigan: With Accompanying Documents for the Year 1895 It is with no little pleasure that the Superintendent of Public Instruo tion is able to report another year of great progress and improvement in Michigan schools. The financial stringency end the continued low price of agricultural and mining products, has had a tendency in some localities to curtail the amounts appropriated for educational purposes; but the loyal manner and commendable spirit with which almost all of our oom mnnities have maintained the schools, is a just cause for increased pride in our State. The, lack of remunerative employment and the rigid enforcement of our new and very efieotive compulsory school law. Has caused a fine increase in the number of pupils enrolled. The teachers have given much more study to the science of teaching. Better methods are constantly coming into use. A spirit of im rovement end an suthu siastic love for the work is more apparent. Idea s are placed higher, both by teachers and patrons. More careful sosdemio preparation is made by candidates for teaching, and the means for self-onltnre and improvement are used for more than formerly. Machine methods are giving place to more intelligent and progressive ways. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
