As soon as Connecticut had established a normal school, in 1852, Dr. Henry Barnard, the state superin- tendent there, secured Mr. Philbrick to organize it. As principal, he preached in that normal school the new doc- trine of graded schools ; and, finally, in institutes all over the state, held by him after he became the state superin- tendent, he continued to proclaim the same idea, reach- ing all the intelligent minds open to new ideas on the subject of education. His return to Boston as supe...rintendent, in January, 1857, opened a new epoch. Already the graded system had been established throughout the city. That was all done within seven years after the Ouincy School had led the way. Now began his efficient work on the infant schools. They were classified and organized in accord- ance with his recommendation, and his untiring supervis- ion of them elevated them to the foremost rank in the school system for excellence. His wise foresight made fast this degree of excellence by securing the adoption of a system of supervision by the grammar school masters, relieving them from some of the labor of the actual work of instruction of classes in order to gain the time requi- site for this supervision.
