DISTRICT SCHooLs.-It is not unlikely that
the present year will put an end to the ancient
school district system of this Commonwealth
The evils attending it have, for many years,
attracted the attention of friends OF education,
and many methods of reform have been sug-
gested The present legislative Committee
on Education have gone to the root of the diff
Guilty, and propose the abolition of the entire
system, leaving the management and superin-
tendence of the schools wholly to their respect
i've towns. By actual visitation, it has been
ascertained that in many of the older towns,
of changing though not increasing population,
the old district lines embrace, of actual resi-
dents, number wholly inadequate to support
a school. The schools are improperly cared
for in other places, partly on account of the
ineficiency of prudential committees, who are
apt to be chosen without adequate considera-
ton, and partly on account of want of
harmony and cooperation between the pru-
dental and experimenting committees. The
three distinguished Secretaries of the Board
of Education, Mr.. Mann, Mr.. Sears and
Mr.. Boutwell,, have been deeply impressed
with the knowledge of these evils, and have
vainly labored to secure their reform. The
present plan provides that as early as may be,
before 1861 the towns where the district system
now exists shall take possession of all the es-
tates within their respective limits, used for
school purposes, and remit to the taxpayers
6 all, H., II
property thus taken. The towns shall hereaf-
ter provide for and maintain all public schools,
while their whole supervision, government
and control are vested in the hands of the
School Committee. The plan is eminently
worthy to succeed, inasmuch as it will sweep
from the customs of the State, one which,
however serviceable in past time, fails to ac-
complish the good which our system of public
schools at present demands.
