LOCAL AND OTHER ITEMS.
Our Common Schools.

The approaching spring elections In
the various towns and municipalities
of oar state, suggest the Importance Of
giving special attention 10 the choice
of suitable experimenting School Com
mittecs. In some of our towns care
has been usually taken to secure the
most intelligent and best educated
nersons in the community for this re-
sponsible trust. The State requires
the towns TO make generous appropria-
tons for common schools. and leaves
the expenditure or disbursement Of the
same TO each locality.
Let all who are interested. look
we'll to the management of the
school money. The greatest possible
loss is experienced when incompetent
teachers are employed. or careless
management of the school fund follows
inaltention to the subject. Oar people
cannot Ice too strongly urged TO give
time and thought to the privilege offer
ed to their children. to obtain a good
Education.
The teachers ought TO he employ
III hv the School Committees exclu-
>ivelv. or hy a board Of education.
INSTEAD of giving this vital responsible
ltv TO District School Agents. The
present condition of the schools OF this
county may not be worse than IN other
parts ofthe State but the schools are
far lover than they ought to be. Want
az hearty interest on the part ofparents
IS at the bottom of the difficulty. The
means are at hand where the DISPOSE
ton 10 djsb,fse them wisely does not
exist
Let the present close of the term OF
school officers in the various towns be
The signal for an advance movement
Let the good officers he everywhere re-
elected. without any attention To the
rotation principle : but ifin any town
an Improvement can be made, the high
and sacred interests of education de
nanl zeal and faithfulness on the part
Of the electors.
The State is ready to do more for
the common schools than ever has been
done in the past. Will the towns CO.
