dent Of schools, James n. johnson, says in
his report, there is a general and lamenta-
bic deficiency and loss about our common
schools that yet pertains to them almost
everywhere in Vermont except, perhaps, in a
few localities where special interest has pro-
duced special exertion and profit" He recites
some Of the defects, such as bad school houses
" poor parents, poor teachers and poor text
books, - meaning by the first those who take
little or no interest in promoting the eff
cheney and usefulness of common schools.
The Graded and High School is highly com
mcnded, but the general average Of the re
naming districts IS not marked very high.
The average attendance for the year has been
only about fifty per cent. of the number of
scholars.
