OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Mr.. EDIroR:-I wish to beg enough space
In the REC0RD, always alert for the public
veal, to say word about our schools whose
vacation will soon end. will speak plain
ly, 90 that none can misunderstood my
meaping.
Our school building is large enough. well
ligh ted, pleasantly located and needs moth
log but Jsnitor to make 1t com Portable for
all.concerned. The expense will be trifing,
and l propose that parents sending children
all give something toward the support Of o
person whose duty 1t will be TO light the
fires aud sweep and dust the rooms early
each morning. Last winter 1t devolved up
on :he teachers to do these things, and ball
he winter 1t was not properly done. The
children often suffered with cold, and late
attendance by teachers and scholars was
too common. II the rooms are kept warm
and clean pupctual and regular attendance
Of scholar and teacher will result.
In this connection, would name L. P
Walker, Eeq., gentleman who has the
welfare snd comfort of children always next
his hear. to look after this matter
Fetch around your paper and we will give
enough for you to go ahead and hire Jsni.
tor.
The New Board has selected the teachers
for the ensuing term, subject Of course to
such changes IS may be found necessary In
the future. As the true test of Q teachers
qualifications are not found in the ipse dixit
Of superintendent nor on the outside in
auence always brought to bear on such ac-
cs sions, l trust that the Directors will visit
the schools and see and hear for themselves
the msnner in which they are operated.
Last year there was much jus: complaint
10 couple Of rooms at least. The attend7,
ance Of the teacher was often late and ir,ea
ular. There was far too much scoldine.
and senseless haranguing. Girls slnoss
grown were often ssen crying with sheer
shame and vexatiou. The Language was
100 often coarse and uncouth, rude aud
loud. There was lack Of digri,y in ibe
threats made, and the punishmenls were of,
ten absurd. Now these things should not
be tolerated by any Board. hope the new
one will correct anything of this kind in
the future. Let this surplus oral energy
hereafter find Its way and expend ito force
on tse Black board.
l submit that a teacher should be well
bred always polite aud courteous, kind and
tolerant to the children under bis charge,
1t concerns q parent much more that his
child grow up into gentlemanly fellow
than that be be 10 armed Boor. Let US by
all means have good name re- and good ns-
ture 10 the school room. Let the pupil be
60 treated that be 10 always anxious to 20 to
school, and ever ready to open bis book
Let 1t be fully understood by oil concerned
that neither the parents or Directors In this
district win longer wink at bad manners in
the school room.

in q little ravine about two miles distant
from Akers, but IN plain view. The
buffalo had been wounded and showed

The Banks of Maine.


The Banks of Maine.
Hon. William Phi brick, of Skowhegan,
Bank Examiner Of the State, has submit
ted to the Governor and Executive Coun-
ell his report of the condition and stand
ing Of the State banks and saving banks.
The banks of discount in the State are
Eastern. Mercantile and Neazie banks of
Bangor, and Lime Rock and North banks
OF Rockland With the present govern
ment tax on the circulation of State banks,
all the inducement there is for these banks
to continue business lies in the hope that
Congress will permit them to organize as
national banks.
The Examiner, according to the kenne-
bee Journals abstract OF his report, deems
the present system of national banks vast
ly superior to State institutions. Tie be-
leves that a return to specie payments
and the necessary adoption Of some sNs-
TEN Of redemption of bank notes, would
revive the old trouble incident thereto
with which all bankers under the old sys-
tenn are but 100 familiar. and put into the
hands of the money changers the pow
er to create panicS and clog the wheels of
business, a state OF things which cannot
be accomplished under the present Sys-
tenn.
