fENllE undersigned Superintendent of Pub
L lie Schools in Addison County, after ma
turcly considering the present wants Of our
Schools, and the best method OF rcmed ying
certain cvil5 now existing, do, hereby recon-
mend TowNa READERS and Spcler, published
by Sanborn & Carter, for general miroduc-
ton AMI use in the Schools of the County for
such a term OF years as the interests of Edu-
cation may demand
We do this because the Schools are using
many books unsuited to Tic scholars, and
have so great diversity of books and au-
thors, as TO prevent uniform plans Of study
or any regular system of iustruvtiOn-Be-
cause the present confusion and irrek larity,
invites unauthorized agents, teachers If all
notions, and indscrcet parents TO intcr.e.e
with our system, for personal ends, and thus
cause greater evils Because previous efforts
OF former Boards have not been made thor
oughi but have increased the evils they de-
signed to cure Expressing lis with the fact
thal something more efficient, and general is
absolutely demanded, to serve the public
unless We yield to despair, and give over all
effort to improve their condition. thd fnai-
tg, BeeanSc this plan, as proposed by the
agent, seems better adapted, than others have
proved, to secure the en,tdcsred
All the Schools are to be visited, and the
| old books are to be taken in exchange, ut
INC hai the ae'uol retail prtee in the shops ;
while new books, in the hands of Merchants
and Scholars, are to be taken, in exchange,
at their full value.
TowN's books are every way suitable to
orr wants; and have been proved in the
| counties around us and we chccrfuly roc
| ommend them to all-nrging most earnestly,
| hat Teachers, Parents, and Scholars will
| unite in carrying out, to its fall perfection
This one important plan for the benefit of all
n the least expense the work can ever be
| lone By The Saysrialendeais.
Ten Counties of Vermont have heretofore
introduced Towns Series, and uniformly
used them, from one to -four years, anG desire
| n change.
Fla1sor, Orange, and LqmoiAe Counties
are now introducing them, on the same plan
as here adopted for this County.
| When Aiqison ConHtg Schools complete
the work of Introduction, uniformity will be
secured throughout the whole State
New Hampshire aud Maine have the same
uniformity, and are fully satisfied with it,
| In accordance with the general desire Of
the Superintendcnts, the Town Agents will
furnish, while visiting schools, YIELDS NRw
| GRAMMAR AND PAnslHG BOOK, TO supplant
the OIL GrGmmdrS and HOibrook'S C4ud's
arithmetic, to prceede Colbulns
| The above recommendation is intended TO
stand from four TO six years. And no change
is expected TO be made for about that length
Of time

change aud the reasons for tho effort, see the
printed circulars in the hands Of Supe rntend.
