Our Winter Schools Examinations At Oberlin County
Our Winter Schools semi annual examination of teachers in this county took place on the ddth and Sistult. The close at Oberlin was larger than any previous occasion numbering over sixty teachers including about half ladies. A large portion of the class were Oberlin Institution members and the examination was creditable, showing thorough mental training in elementary branches. We think common schools are gradually improving though far from where they should be. We will address defects and remedies in a future piece.
