courses, which had been carried on more or less continuously 
since 1885, were steadily gaining, and by the replies made by 
teachers themselves upon a circular sent to them asking for 
information. 
It was thus made apparent, that there was a demand for solid 
instruction by a limited number of Boston teachers, and that it 
would be a more enlightened policy to satisfy this demand more 
completely, and abandon, for the present at least, the general 
courses. Mr. Augustus Lowell having consented to this change 
of policy, it will be carried into effect during the next official year.
