uphold children in their nisdemeanors
and condemn teachers for inficting
moderate chastisement. That oIdel
| is the first law cannot be denied, and
the school that lacks order often lacks
everything Of value.
The custom of boarding around is
not quite done away with yet; two
districts in this town during the yeal
have subjected their teachers to this
Improbable and unreasonable prac
tice; if the citizens of these districts
would exercise as much wisdom il
this as in other matters, the custom
would soon become extinct.
Some Of the school houses il tbis
town are wholly unfit for their pur
pose. No district can find excuse fol
sending their pupils into the poor
dirty, cheerless, inconvenient houses
such as can be found in some OF the
districts of Barton. Children WoulC
love their schoolrooms better if they
were as pleasant and comfortable as
their homes.
There are no clocks, globes, maps
or dictionaries, in many Of the schools
Of the town; these thiAgs can be pro.
cured at d trilling expense to each
district and would be of great value
to the schools. While YOU are sup
plying yourselves with improved agri
cultural and mechanical implements
and furnishing your parlors with cost
| ~ and elegant furniture, why not fur
nish your schools with those things
that their wants absolutely demand
have been to this town for the
past year, what many declare a super
iutendent to be, thing of little con-
sequence; but a man with this office
ought to do far more than ] have
done, or could do except upon my
own expense. Superintendent ought
to he paid more and required to do
more, then will their Iabors be Oval
ue. When the pupils shall be taught
to appreciate the worth Of an educa-
ton; when the teacher shall come
up to his high calling as teacher
when the parent shall realize his true
relation 10 his school. when the SUI
perinteudent shall do his whole duty,
when the public shall consider the
vast Importance Of common schools,
