ed very well. If should give any crit
icism, it would be that she was little
grain too slow. Her usefulness woult
have been augmented by little more
stir, and little more talk. There are
some bright little children here, and they

No. 10, Summer term here taught
by Emma i. Morse, girl who had the
elements Of tic refined lady, which is
greatly to be desired everywhere. But
rs teacher, | do not think she was
quite up to the mark. did not examine
this teacher, but indorsed other recon-
mendatlons. She appeared willing to do
just the right thing, but she lacked ener-
gy and force of character. The scholars
here are bright and active, and it is n
pity they do not receive their just dues.
The winter term was taught by Katie
l.. Brown, a young teacher. thought
this teacher tried her best to do well, but
the great trouble with her, she lacked
sufficient qualification. She rather took
advantage of me by commencing her
school and teaching some weeks before
applying for 4 license. confess | grant

tasty school house, and l believe the cit
liens are all p:ospering in their business
And my advice 10 them would be, given
in the spirit of friendship, to take a little
more pains about securing teachers, even
If you have TO pay half dollar, or a
dollar extra, per week. 1t don't seem

tain aS poor schools as two or three you've
had lately.
No. IL. The summer term Was
taught by Nancy NJ. Adams She taught
4 good school. She knew how to ask
questions, and tells the pupils the reason
of things.
Soper. L think the teacher did well, and
the pupils also. One little boy here,
only eleven years old, has got the clear
est head, rccitel the best, and told the
most about arithmetic, of any scholar
have seen in town, of his age.
No. -. Both the summer and fall
terms were taught by Kate Carr This
school Is the smallest in town. No leach
cr, however well qualified, can DO great
things with - few scholars, and where
there can bc at best but little interest
and enthusiasm. | think this teacher
d;d we'll under adverse circumstances. i

first term. Miss Morris passed 4 good

Sickness of the teacher for some weeks
prevented the progress ofthe school some
