there is Il general complaint from the
diaries in this vicinity .... The com
mon begins to take on the appearance of
Verdure quite in contrast with former
days. The trees set out in the Spring are

, book committee have printed their
report, re-adopting the list of

we do not find the signature
of the town superintendent Of schools APP
pended to it as the law requires. Nor does
the name of Mrs l.. NJ. Bates who holds
that position by vote of the town appear
as one of the committee. 1t is generally
. understood that the town superintendent
was not consulted in the selection of books
that no meeting of the committee was
legally called or held. but that the gentle
men whose names are signed to the re-
port took the matter into their own hands,
entirely ignoring the superintendent who
by the law is constituted II member of the
committee, made its chairman, and is the
+ only person authorized to procure the
printing of the report and to attend to its
e distribution. Query. Is there any legally
- authorized list of text books in Westford
