ton during the past year.
have licensed seventeen teachers,
and regret to say only seven OF them
belong to our town, while in years
that are past it was no uncommon
thing for Lunenburg to supply many
of the teachers for adjoining towns.
We have had the usual amount of
schools, with varied success. ] have
visited the several schools once or
more each term, and found their con-
dition somewhat as follows:
Summer term, District No. /, taught
by Hattie E. Grannis. This District
has but one school this summer, which
makes The attendance very large, forty
scholars present discipline good. The
teacher has had experience, and evil
IDENTIFY understands her business, and
means to do 1t.
District No. 2; taught by Eunice c.
Elkins, teacher active, and inclined to
do too much and not require enough
of her pupils; scholars inclined to be
restless and uneasy.
District No. 8; Cora C. Cheney
teacher. This is the smallest school
in town only six scholars present.
This District has employed the same
teacher before, and think they would
do we'll to employ her again.

commenced by Frances Chandler, (but
owing to Ill health she was obliged to
leave and was closed by Edna Eli
oft. The school was quiet and orderly.

LiddeIl acknowledgement scholars.
This school is in very different shape
from first term; everything in order (
scholars learning and the teacher ev-
identity "master of the situation"
Visited District No. l, near the
close Of the term. This school has
made very good progress, but there
has been a large falling off in the at
tendance snice the commencement. l
will say here that parents and guardi-
ans should endeavor to keep their
children in school Us long as the term
lasts, for by that means an interest is
kept up, and the purpose for which our
schools were intended is accomplish
ed.
Winter term, District No. l Prl-
mary department taught by Maggie
Grannis, twenty-six wide awake little
scholars present; teacher seems at
home; has taught here before the

school.

Proctor, good scholar and apt teach.
CT.
District No. 2; IIascal PEBBLES,

purpose.
