considerable experience. The great
difficulty against which she bad to
contend, and am informed that il is
chronic there, was noise and disorder.

Besides the advantage Of the services
Of 50 good a teacher, the district were
wise enough 70 retain her during the
whole year, to their manifest profit.
In District No & otherwise known
as the West road. the first term was
taught by Miss Mary Hubbard, under
whom the strictest Of order seemed
carefully to DO preserved In the
winter Miss Roxie McWayne was en-
gagged to teach what little school they
had The management which limited
the weeks of school in that district to
twenty and arranged the terms so that
but eight should come in the winter
was certainly unwise and prejudicial
10 the best interests Of the district.
In District No. 6, the HOLSTER dis
trict, il was unfortunate that so many
changes Of teachers were required =
The summer term was taught by Miss
May Miller, a graduate Of one of the
State Normal Schools, who showed
the advantage Of such training both in
her happy faculty Of communicating in.
struction and in the strict order which
prevailed. At the end of ten weeks
however, she was obliged, on account
of i'll health, TO reinguish her school,
and for the remainder of the term six
weeks Miss Marie A. Bowen Of Sand
gate was engaged, who finished the
term without any marked degree Of
success. Miss Sarah M, Gilmore OF
Poultney, commenced the winter term,
but relinquished her task at the end of
the 9th week, when Miss Emile A.
Roberts, resident OF the district, took
the school and taught to such satisac-
ton Of the district that the term was,
by vote, heightened several weeks
In District No. s, East Manchester,
the summer term was taught by Mrs.
Julia A. Reynolds, q teacher Of con-
siderable experience who succeeded
well in imparting instruction. The
fall term was taught by Miss Ida A
TAFT. a graduate OF Normal School
and fine teacher. The latter part OF
this term was rendered less valuable
by the diIapidated condition of the
school house.
In District No. ., at Factory Point,
two schools were sustained throughout
the year. The primary department
was taught during all the terms by
Miss Cornelia Derby, who has held
that position for several years In the
higher grade, the summer and fall
terms were taught TO general satisiac-
ton by Miss o. A Webster Of Wal
lingtord. The winter term was taught
by Mr.. Geo. Ii. Sessions This gen.

work, devoting considerably more
than the regular hours 70 teaching, and
succeeded in rousing more than usual
interest among his pupils His sue.
