PROCEEDINGS IN THE FORMA-
TION OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
| The Power Of Districts as Corporate
! Bodies. 39
There IS riiueh territory iii the tjcw
counties that is not yet organized into
school districts, and in the older counties
such is the rapid increase Of population,
that many alterations, from time TO time,
will be rendered necessary. II is impor-
tant that the provisions of law relating to
the formation and alteration of districts
should be well understood, and judiciousl,
applied. Experience proves that strife is
more likely to arise from this source, than
frofn any other.
1t is recommended to the town superin-
tendents in exercising the discrs ton vested
in them, on this subject, to consult, as far
as possible, tho opinions and feelings OF
the inhabitants of the districts inter
ested. Ld o
To secure the success of our school sys-
tenn, the hearty concurrence of the people
is necessary; and it is the duty of the
town superintendent to avoid, if possible
all occasion for dscord and dissention.-
l Still it is not to be expected, that all will
be, or can be satisfied with any arrange
ment that can be proposed, and the town
superintendent must make up their minds
to content, when they ha e endeavored
faithfully to discharge the burdensome
duties of their Office, with impartial JUS
ftice.
j Generally it will be found true, thu
large districts are more efficient and better
able to sustain good schools, and for a
longer period of time in the year, than
small ones: and the inhabitants of districts
are earnestly advised not to put tic triaine
j Inconvenience of little greater distance
H from the school house, in competition with
the paramount advantages of a more per
maflent ard better conducted school fo'
their children.
