While the attendance will compare favorably with other
schools of the kind in the State, and is very encouraging so long
as the scholars undertake to attend school, it is unfortunate that
so many can attend only a small part of the year. One year of
regular attendance is more profitable than five or six terms with
long intervals between.
It has been noticed with much regret, from time to time,
that in the High School the number of scholars has greatly di-
minished towards the close of the term, some dropping off a few
weeks, and others only a few days, before the close of the term,
as though they would avoid the examinations. The classes are
then generally reviewing the studies of the term. This is all-im-
portant, without having regard to examination; but the scholar
represents to parents that further attendance is of no great ac-
count—that he is simply going over ground that he has been
over before—it is of no use to him, etc.; when, in all probabil-
ity, he is the very one who stands most in need of it. This prac-
tice is a great disadvantage to the school, and is disheartening in
the extreme to the teacher, as well as unkind and ungenerous on
the part of pupils and parents.

thoroughly studied and thoroughly read, the sense being fully
explained by the pupil, and each word being fully mastered in
pronunciation and meaning. The spelling lessons will be both
oral and written. Composition will begin with the spelling lessons,
the pupils being required to write a phrase or sentence containing

course of familiar lectures on the principles of English Grammar.
In these and other exercises of the Department, special attention.
is given to those who are desirous of qualifying themselves to
become Teachers. Regular courses of lectures are given on
Natural Philosophy, Physical and Political Geography, and
Physiology, besides occasional lectures on various subjects, as the
wants of particular classes require, Natural Philosophy is illus.
trated by experimental lectures; Physiology and Geography are
taught by the aid of maps, charts, and models.

The instruction in this Department is confined to the Latin
and Greek Classics, and such other studies as are requisite to
prepare young men for the University. The course of study as
marked out, embraces three years; and it is believed that this
thorough course is best fitted to prepare the student for the most
successful progress in his college studies. Every student who
contemplates entering college, is expected to complete the course.
New classes are admitted at the commencement of each academic
year. Students, however, may enter at any time during the
year, if they are prepared to join an existing class.

A D MISSION.
Scholars who enter the Classical or English Department will
be required to pass a satisfactory examination in Sanders' Fourth
Reader, Speller and Definer, Davies' Practical Arithmetic, Stod-
dard's Intellectual Arithmetic, Cornell's High School Geogra-
phy, Greene's Elements of Grammar, and Davies' Elementary
Algebra as far as Equations of the second degree.
Those designing to enter any department of the school, should
be in attendance, with certificates of admission from the Direc-
tor, on the first day of the term, as the classes are then formed.
Students who delay their entrance, although but a few days, not
only sustain a loss themselves from which they may not recover
during the term, but they embarrass the classes of which they
are members.
ATTENDANCE, STUDY AND RECITATION.
It is expected that every pupil will manifest an earnest de-
sire and intention to make improvement. But this alone will
not insure success—steadiness of purpose in continuing a course
of study is also an important requisite. Experience has too fully
proved that remissness or intermitting application to the duties
of the school, is seldom attended with any degree of proficiency,
but that worthy and substantial attainments are always the le-
gitimate results of faithful, persevering exertions. The pupils
are required to make themselves thoroughly acquainted with the
subject matter of their various lessons; to devote all the time
necessary to the accomplishment of their tasks, either in or out


40 ANN ARBOR. UNION SCHOOL.
T
of school hours, and in recitation; to talk familiarly, giving the
ideas contained in the text, as they would converse with a friend.
Compliance with these requisitions, with the proper guidance of
the teacher, will, it is believed, form correct habits in reading
and thinking, and render practical the acquisitions of knowledge.
GENERAL EXERCISES,
In the English and Classical Department, declamation is
required from the gentlemen, and composition from all the stu-
dents, once in two weeks. A critical exercise in composition is
had every Friday afternoon. Geographical and Historical Di-
gests are required semi-monthly, by divisions. Abstracts of les-
sons, daily. General Reviews monthly.
EXAMINATIONS AND EXHIBITIONS.
There are two public examinations during the year, occurring
at the close of the Spring and Summer Terms.
The Prize Rhetorical Exhibition will be held in the Union
Hall, on the last Tuesday evening of the Second Term.
LITERARY ASSOCIATION.
There is a Literary Society, organized by the pupils in the
High School, for improvement in debate, declamation and com-
position. Its meetings are often public, and held on Friday
evening of each week.
SYSTEM OF MARKING.
A faithful and impartial record of the merits of the students
in their daily recitations and general exercises will be kept,
grading them so that their average standing may range from one
to ten—the highest number denoting the highest order of schol-
arship. The average marking for a term, combined with the
attendance and deportment averages, constitute the student's
standing, and determine whether he shall be promoted or other-
wise. These averages are kept in a book prepared expressly for




ANN ARBOR. UNION SCHOOL. 41
;:
*
that purpose, and are open to the inspection of the School Board
and patrons.
All irregularities in attendance or déportment have been re-
quired to be excused before the student resumes his place in his
classes; and a record of every excuse granted or refused, and to
whom, is preserved.
Cards of Standing will be sent to parents and patrons at the
close of every term.
TUITION.
In all English branches, bona ſide resident scholars pay no
tuition. Tuition is charged for scholars residing out of the dis-
trict, as follows, payable at the beginning of each term :
In the High School, Classical Department, $600 per term.
. . (. . . English . . 4 50 [[

For Music on the Piano, $8 per course of 24 lessons, and for the
use of the Pianos to those who practice in the School, $2; Paint-
ing in Water Colors, $3; in Oil, $8–always in advance.
No tuition charged for less than half a term, and no deduc-
tion made for absence unless in case of actual and protracted
sickness,

(G|E|N|E|R/\ || |R E M A R K Š,
THE importance of training up, educating, and rightly devel-
oping those intellectual, moral and physical powers upon which
the maintenance of our well being as an enlightened, virtuous
and Christian people will hereafter depend, cannot be overesti-
mated; and in this age of rapid development in every depart-
ment of science and art, and indeed in almost every branch of
human industry, it becomes us to inquire—whether we, as an
integral part of this great community, are going on with equal
progress from improvement to improvement in our system of ed-
ucation, which should keep pace with, if, indeed, it does not
necessarily precede, this high attainment, in whatever is great
and noble, as well as profitable and useful.
While we are happy to report that, for the past year, we be-
lieve our schools have been very generally successful, and that in
most of them the progress has been very evident and gratifying,
we deem it our duty to point out plainly some of the causes by
which we think this progress may have been retarded, and sug-
gest how it may be prevented in the future—not so much be.
cause we have anything new to say, as that the subject should be
constantly brought to the mind of every parent and citizen, and
be productive of corresponding and constant action on his part.
Our citizens have voted money with their accustomed liber-
ality—a larger amount being appropriated to the support of
schools than to all other objects combined. We are among the
first in providing the means, but not among the first to avail our-
selves of them. This is a serious evil.
There are those who seem to think that when money is raised,




ANN ARBOR. UNION SCHOOL. 43
school officers chosen, competent teachers provided, and their
own children directed to attend school, all active interest on
their part may cease. This is a great mistake. It is only by
the united efforts of the School Board and Teachers, with every
parent and guardian in the District, that our Schools can reach
that high standard at which we aim, and every child, brought
within their influence, made to grow up an intelligent, virtuous
and educated citizen. If we have those among us who cannot
or do not appreciate these advantages, and are not ready to avail
themselves of them for their children, so much the stronger rea-
son is there for vigorous action on the part of those who do,
which shall compel them to come in.
Parents and Teachers have a common interest in the same
object, and the presence of parents from time to time in the
school room, not only sustains and encourages the teacher, but
shows to their children that their sympathies are with them—
that they are in co-operation for the child's best interest—and
in this way their own aspirations are aroused, and the feeling is
caused to grow up in the mind that it is a pleasure and a privi-
lege to attend school, and not a disagreeable task.
Good order, good manners, good morals, are equally required
at the hands of the good teacher. He must secure the respect,
the affection, the love of his pupils, if he would exert that con-
trolling influence which leads to high attainment in excellence.
We wish to see this influence exerted more beyond the walls of
the school room. Let it follow to the play ground, to the street,
and even to the retirement of home, where it should be met and
sustained by all the force of parental influence: and how easy it
is for the parent to further or thwart all the efforts of the teacher
in these respects. Neither should they give too willing an ear to
the trifling complaints of their children. Teachers, like parents,
are not perfect—they may and do err. If the complaint seems
to be serious, personally enquire into it—in all probability there
are mitigating circumstances; and do not, for any slight dissatis-
faction, allow your child to withdraw from school even for a day.
Another fault among parents is, a disposition to urge children
along too rapidly in their studies, or to desire they should com-
