Excerpt from The Illinois Teacher, 1872, Vol. 18: Devoted to Education, Science, and Free Schools Duquoin. - The Duquoin Graded School has a complete course of study and a three-years course for the high school. The report of attendance for six months shows the number enrolled to be 542; the average number belonging, 490; the av erage daily attendance, 397. Granville F. Foster is the superintendent. Galesburg. - The evening schools Of this city closed in April, for. This season and we have before us Superintendent Roberts's report to the Board of Education, showing what has been accomplished. The result is very gratifying, and is espe cially interesting as showing what may be done in other places. We have no doubt that evening schools can be successfully maintained through the winter months in as many as eight or ten of the larger towns of the state, and we hope that this Galesburg experiment will lead others to go and do likewise. The fol lowing extracts from the report will be read with interest The school opened January 9th, and continued without interruption until April 26th, - sixteen weeks in all. The school was held on the alternate evenings of each week, and usually was in session two hours. The whole number of pupils enrolled was 117; average attendance for month of January, 58; February, 70; March, 88; April. 74; aver age attendance during the whole term, 71. Of the whole number, enrolled, 75 were males and 42 were females. The whole number of teachers employed was 12, only'6 of whom were employed at any one time. The school has cost the city for teachers and lights exactly $200, or $50 per month. The studies pursued have been chiefly arithmetic, reading, spelling, and writing. A few pupils have studied geometry, and there has been a class in book-keeping and mechanical drawing. The attendance of young women and girls was quite unexpected, and several have not missed an evening during the continuance of the school. Most of these young women are working out at service in the families of our citizens. I take great pleasure in saying that all the pupils in attendance, with scarcely an exception, have been orderly, courteous, attentive to business, and apparently very much in terested. The government of the school has never occasioned the slightest anxi ety. I recommend that the school be resumed as early as the middle of October next.
