The Machias Union, a Democratic paper,
takes noble stand in favor of County Super
vision. The following comments on the action
of the Legislature in removing one of the main
stays of our common school system are as
pointed as anything we have seen on that sub
ject el1ie I No hsgF4s.t, -. = Z.
Ten years would have been short time enough
to decide the relative merits of the County Su-
pervisor system of common schools We re-
greet the action Of the Legislature in abolishing
the system. Such action is hasty, inconsider-
ate and shows want of independence. We
say independence, because when members of
the Legislature feel annoyed and vexedat whims
and schemes of State Superintendent or Coun-
ty Supervisors they ought to be men enough to
discriminate between what ~ for the public
good and what is for personal ends, and cut
square through. -. --
1t is to be hoped that the Legislature will not
be abolished because now and then a Jonathan
is an intnitesimal part of it, or that the jury
trial shall be annihilated because some men are
empannelled who are unfit for duty, or the COM
mon schools dispensed with because some fill
the place of teachers who have mistaken their

BY another table 1t appears that the average

indicates that the progress of the whole school

schools, it is impossible to present eompara-
tive table of the number of pupils in each class
Tor the purpose OF showing the standard of each
school in respect to classification and the age

termining its condition, as the number of M
pills of different ages should very nearly cor
respond with the number in the several classes
if all the pupils are advanced with sufficient
regularity. The ideal standard should be to
graduate as many pupils as are admitted, but
an approximate result is all that can be- expect

many disturbing causes,
