 Winter schools n the different paris of the toWL should commence nearly possible ai the samt time and immediately allcr tllis, ai the UsuuctOTs with such indiv'duas as the town shall authorize, should meet together Co devisc and draw up rules ioV the government oG the different schools and ihis code of laws should be the authority by which every teacher should act and the committee the only board io decide upon any difficulties which may arise between the parents and ihe teacher. Parents should not be allowed to dictate n the least relative Co thC" gn, crI- ment oi the school lf they chuosU L. carry coul- pIaints |" iile committee, lei them be hoar', and il possible, settled; or II they choose o take cAi dren from school, he Il sOthc instructor should have for fear if he has governed himse according 10 the written laws, prev .ousy drawn up, and read once month in school. These laws should decide what new books shall be introduced no school flor whatever may be inc prpudicc against such meas- urc-a prejudice founded upon selishncss---n is ab- souely necessary that the child should frequently be relieved from the cold m0nOtOnV of pouring over, wear after year, the same reading lessons, from the same books. The subjects in these 0.d books familiar to them and 1t were unreasonable to expect them be interested in the sty in which they written- new work will give them subject, and their natural curiosity vii! fix their attention it. The ex- pense ot thIS regulation trlfilng-the benefit i'm mense. EUeTy scholar shoud be required to have such books-of those agreed upon the instructor shall think best suited to his capacy and of these the parent guardian should be notified. If he be able to procure them, and neglect dc, the child should be told to leave the school uutl hs return well provided for. His attendance there cannot benefit himself, and it can and will in ure others 1.-the pa rent be and unable to the expense the mtee should be notified, and the child should be sup piled at the cost of the school treasury. It is idle to eNpatiae upon the excellence of public treasury employ teachers for the children of the poor without providing these children with the mems by which they may he taught. No common school book should be considered sufficient for two schoars---every child should be independent of his her neighbour for ev- cry necessary even to a "ruler and nIummet" that there may be no josng and disturbance, ,the Y consequence ot leaving seats to borrow get back a lent article. By these remarks entering into the government of school which IS the province of the teacher. and for which he is accountable. But regulations like the above he cannot eniorce without the countenapce of the town authority; they are therefore public-hs manner of enforcing them is a private concern, provided he do not neglect or over step his bounds.
 These remarks, cliced by recent attention to the duties of an unimporant appointment relative to schooIsh have already been great length that we shall defer any further notice of the subjec until next week.
