The Spring term of the graded school
in this village, closed on Friday last
The three last days of the term were
spent in examination of the various
classes in the different departments. AS
we were unable to attend the examina-
ton constantly. we cannot report in re-
gard to all the classes, but so far as we
saw and learned, everything passed off
very creditably to the teachers and the
scholars. The different departments
were taught by Miss Gleason, Mrs.
Twombly, Miss Baxter and Miss Bar
nard, three of whom are residents of Bar
ton. 1t will be saying perhaps, enough
of each teacher to say that we have
heard no complaint whatever in regard
to the schools. The committee were for
tunate in the selection of this board OF
teachers, and the public may rest assur-
ed that so long as this board remains,
their pupils will receive thorough and
practical teaching.
