S. S. Committee Reports.
The time is drawing near when the ;.
$. Committees will make their annual re-
ports. and It seems to me it would be wen
TO call the attention OF the public to these
documents.
There would be little need of this did the
subject matter of these reports awaken
that deep aud lively interest it importance
demands. but, notwithstanding education
is generally conceded. by able statesmen
as well as BY an intelligent and patriotic
people. To- be the desideratum OF our age.

Peihap. there i no one thing that
M Intelligent observer. has more OCCASION
to notice in our annual town meetings than
the apparent lack Of interest with which
the s. : Committee Reports are received.
Not merely hack OF interest, but "A posi-.
tire unea-iue>> and .au evident di>ta,'e.
and want of confidence is often shown
DARN. the readin. OF these Reports.
