took place in relation to the Public Schools
of the county and their management. Great
dissatisfaction was expressed in regard to the
manner of purchasing school books, and also
in relation to the manifest unfairness in the
adjustment of teachers salaries in different
schools of the county.
The sentiment among the members in re-
gard to funding the school debt was in favor

Hartford County,:
Whereas, the enormous expenses incurred

deem necessary to throw light upon the very
unsatisfactory exhibits of said boards of
School Commissioners.
The Watervale Club invite the active CO.
operation of the other Farmers Clubs of the
county and taxpayers generally, in such
measures as will tend to secure the most
equitable distribution of the school fund,
