TEACHERS’ MONTHLY REPORT.

We wish to gain such knowledge of the labors of our teachers and the condition of our schools as the following statistics, faithfully and conscientiously reported, will give.  As such statistics are valuable only as they are faithfully and conscientiously given, we trust that our wishes will be implicitly regarded, and every blank correctly filled.* A faithful discharge of our responsibilities to our patrons demands that we obtain this information, and we trust that no teacher will regard our inquiries as either invidious or inquisitorial.

In addition to the above statistics, we desire a written Report, giving general and particular facts concerning the general progress of the school, the chief obstacles encountered, cases of subordination, the mode of administering discipline, and any suggestions that indicate its prosperity.

*If None or 0 be the record let the blank be so filled.
+ The roll should be called ten minutes after the opening of the School, or earlier (never later) if the teacher so elect.  A School Register will be furnished to teachers.
[[?]] If there be no local Superintendent, a blank for a Superintendent’s report will be furnished, which the teacher will be expected to fill.
Note—Returns should be sent to these Rooms.
Each teacher must give a seperate Report.
