COMMON SCHOOLS.


We attended lecture on Friday evening Of last
week. delivered by Mr.. J. orvlc Taylor. on the
important subject OF common schools. We were
highly graiihed with the lecture, interested and IN
sirucicd by the details and much amused by various
anecdotes illustrative OF the defects in schools.
Mr.. Taylor commented upon the material defects
in the course Of instruction, and the means of i'm
provcment the deficiencies Of teachers, and the
necessity ofbeper qualifications on their part the
great and important defects in the construction of
school houses, in the form Of benches and desks,
and manner of heating and ventilation of school
rooms These things were exhibited in their true
light, and their bearing upon the interests Of com
mon schools very happily illustrated. We arc not
disposed TO speak in terms Of consure OF the appa-
rent Indifference Of the inhabitants Of our village TO
this subject Of primary importance, butwe could not
but regret that 50 small a number were present 10
hear the lecture.
1t is but too true, that the inhabitants of this vii
Schools their present condition will ahundaniiy
prove--and it would seem that the leading object OF
the district has been TO dispose Of the matter at the
least possible expense. II is high time for reform,
actual, beneficial reform, if would have the priv
ilcgc Of good common schools--ihe very best kind
of schools in the land.
We very cheeriully recommend to the public the
Common School Assistant conducted by Mr. Tay-
or, devoted TO the interests of common schools and
we believe parents and teachers would find it great
ly TO their advantage to patronze it.

SCHOOL LIBRARIES.

If we have not heretofore called the attention OF
the friends of education to the important subject of
School Libraries, in this age of improvement, we
confess we have been remiss in duty Every
school district in Vermont ought to have library.
In one of our sister states, New York, Common
School Library mas been made distinct feature Of
the state system, and their beneficial effects afford
abundant proof, il we arc rightly informed, Of their
great utility. Now is the time to attend TO this sub
ject, just as districts holding their school
meetings and preparing for their winter schools
This matter should not escape the attention of sin
gle district-and perhaps the first step to be taken
would be for the district, when assembled, to appoint
large and judicous committee to devise rays and
means, and lay them before subsequent meeting
This system would be powerful stimulus to
raise the low and degraded condition our common
schools, and they need it enough every one knows.
On the score of economy, we have nodoubt II would
be saving to have good library provided in each
school district at the expense Of the parents, mas
tiers and guardians of children. When children are
reading they are not rcnding and wearing out their
clothes and shoes, and all know that the district
school is wonderful place for wearing and tearing.
However, very many friends to the improvement OF
our common Schools we snould tnink, VINO nave no
children to send, would contribute literally for this
purpose.
There arc one or two printing establishments now
employed by the friends of education told
engaged in printing suitable books for these libra
ries and in the states of New York, Massachusetts
and Connecticut, they beginning to be general
ly introduced. We believe they have some copies
at the Rutland Bookstore, where school committees
and those interested can see and examine them.
