To The People,

We can not longer refrain from expressing our
gratitude to the people OF Napoleon for their coop
GRAFTON I'm management Of the public schools 10
our experience In teaching we have always STAINED
the very best results and lsbored with the greatest
satisfaction, where the parents and people at large
heartily eo-opernred in the work.
The spprobstion OF the peop.e. the sympathy, sug-
geshons and frequent visits of the Board Of Educa-
ton and Of parents are the very strongest incentives
TO both teacher and scholar.
These incentives are especially essential to the
successful Advancement of the public schools-As
absolutely In the district schools as In our graded
schools, and in no school work have We so enjoyed
the benefits of these innrenses here in Napoleon
We have been pleased highly pleased with the dis
position manifested by the Board of Education and
the people to kindly observe and to assist us In en-
forcing such rules and regulations ss in our udg-
ment have been necessary to prompt and reg
ular attendance upon, End good government in the
schools.
We have tried to understand the nature and the ex-
tent of responsibility teachers In consequence
of which 1t has been and shall continue to be our
highest endeayor to accomplish the greatest good by
securing to the pupils entrusted to our care the most
necessary and most practical benefits to be derived
from our system Of education; but IT, In the exercise
of our Judgment, we should err In any way fail TO
meet the expectation Of the people, shall not be the
result of negligence wilfuness, but rather the
failure Of our theory from which we have hoped to
realize the best results Under the circumstances we
shall be quick to rectify our mistakes by the adop-
tion OF such measures will restore harmony at
school and create good feeling at home.
-.
speak of tho Ladies' Relief Association which has
contributed so much 10 the comfort and happiness
of many OF our school children. No organization
could be more humane than the one which has for
its object the ameoration of the condition of the
poor and the unforunate it is of the highest ordcr
its sanction is from high, and the work it does
win live eternaly. We most heartily congratulate
the people of Napoleon upon the existence of such
an organization in our midst, and especially upon
the successful effort made by the ladies to provide
suitable and warm clothing for many children who
could not have attended school at all without such
aid. Had the public been permitted to witness the
suffering which the teachers were compelled to wit
ness on tho 7th and sth inst occasioued by the cold
and an nsuiciency of clothing; and then later could
the people have seen the bright, beaming smiling
warmly in winter garments given to them by the As
sociation, which in the morning distorted with
pain from the intense cold they would readily have
recognized the necessity Of the association, and
would no longer hesitate to encourage aud heartily
support the ladies In thi' grand work.
On Friday evening Of this week Tn opportunity will
be given to the people to express their appreciation
and to encourage the ladies by contributing to the
further progress of this work of benevolence.
Again extending our gratitude to the people and to
the Board of Education and in the name of the par
ents and children who have been so kindly assisted
by the Association, expressing the earnest gratitude
manifested by them and sincerely desiring that every
one may experience the full enjoyment of merry
Christmas and happy New Year, we are, with much
respect, Your obedient servants,
SUPERINTENDENT AND TEACHERS.
