Of Supervisor Of Common Schools for Or
ford County. among the duties Of the
office will be that of visiting the schools
throughout the county and reporting up
ON the condition of each schoolhouse,
aud the qualifications Of heteachcrs, and
the character of tho schools.
As soon rs the common schools com
mence, shall enter upon my duties
Il ia -tedious task. 49,
There are about four hundred schools in
the county, in forty six towns and planta-
tons. 1t will he seen at once that they
cannot all be visited In one year. Where
feasible, I wish to meet the teachers in
the town for one day to present before
them the best possible methods of teach
ing. Where practicable, these visits will
be accompanied by the school committee
of the town.
Our schools are generally reduced in
numbers, our teachers young. and but
few Of them have ever attended a normal
school, or teachers institute, or ever read
a book on teaching. We hope 10 remedy
these evils. The average length of win
ter and summer schools in The state is
but nine, weeks. This would have been
deemed very small privilege forty years
ago. There is an awful waste of time In
our schools. from multiplicity of i'll ar
ranged text books. These and other
evils must be remedied.
We hope to have the aid of School
Committees and Agents, rs well rs teach
ers. Parents, we know, will encourage
us when they see any good coming from
any movement having the good of their
children in view.
A Teachers Institute will be held in
the county the coming fall, of which We
shall say more in future communica-
ton. We trust that the teachers. espec.
tally, will avail themselves of its adyan-
tages. This will help impart new life to
our schools.
Will the experimenting School Commit
tees in the different towns send me the
names of the Committee and list OF the
school districts, with the number. With
the hope that the twelve thousand chill
dren who attend our schools will have
every reasonable facility increased for at.
tanning a good common school education,
and relying upon the cooperat ion of all.

unable to gain admission. The exhibition
consisted of Tableaux, Charades, Dia-

The Portland Advertiser says that \
very singular incident is related in con-
nection with the death Of Mr. Lamprey,
who was killed by the railroad accident
at Berwick last week. A little niece of
Mr.. Lamprey, about z years of age, came
into the house about an hour before the
accident occurred, crying bitterly, and on
being asked the cause, said that Uncle
Freeman was going to be brought home
dead The family little realized how
soon these fears were to be confirmed.
