BOARD MEETINGS.
All transactions of the School
Board for the past year have been
effected at two meetings, At the
first meeting, special instructed
cQmmittees were appointed to attend
to the lesser business matters of the
Board. The Incidental committee
was instructed to provide teachers
with woekly-report cards for each
scholar. The chief transaction of
the Board at the second meeting was
adopting textbooks to be used in
the common schools for five years,
and concluding CONTRACTS with pub
fishers for said books.
REPAIRS.
The school house south of the
pond has been underpinned and an
outhouse built. The grounds about
the new school house at the corner
of Derby and Pleasant streata have
been improved and fortified. The
school house near S. D. Hobson's
and both new school houses in the
village have been painted. Inciden-
tai repairs have been large and nu-
merous.
EXAMINATIONS.
There has been one public okam-
ination of teachers, and two private
examinations. Nine teachers were
licensed at the public examination,

err. This is a fragrant mistake, if We
desire to advance the enlightenment
of our State. Graduates of normal
schools are generally superior teach
ers, and should be patronized; and
their services as teachers should be
rewarded accordingly.
Schools Nos. 2, 8, and 4 had an at
tendance, during the second term,
of l56 pupils. An average of so
pupils to a school. Another school
should be established to accommodate
these scholars. 1t may be done by
reconstructing the large school
house. The school house is badly
located, and ought to be at the same
time relocated. Iwould advise that
it be moved back from the road if
ty feet or more, and that excavation
be made underneath and a furnace
put in to warm the school house.
Then tear out the stairs, partitions,
etc, and in their place partition off
four school rooms, putting the en-
trance in midway on the south side.
Water should be brought on to the
grounds for the convenience of the
scholars, and the grounds should be
fenced. When another school
shall have been established, it will
give an opportunity for establishing
a course of studies in the High
School. +. NJ. DUNHAp

are sworn to the following: First, to
treat women honorably and respect
them always; second, to put down
coarse language and obscene iests,
third, to demand that the purity of
men be weighed in the same scale as
that of their mothers and sisters
fourth, to remain pure themselves,
and fifth, to spread everywhere the
principles of the army.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.


Never in the history of tho world
was such an opportunity presented
for 4 man to achieve immortal dis.
tinction in civil life as is now pre-
scented to President Cleveland. He
belongs to a party which has been
distrusted for years, aud one, the
southern wing of which, has been in
open revolt against the regular gov
ernment. He is associated with one
whose sentiments are extremely rad
ical. Cleveland is said to be firm
conservative man. He is said land
this Is not much contradicted) to
have brought about great reforms
IN New York, and to have admins
tered the state government with
firmness and decision. Now if he
turns the government over into the
hands of his party without any dis
turbanee, or Earring of its elements,
and adopts policy which will not
disturb the country in its trade or
industries, and steers clear of any
measures tending to aid party to the
exclusion of country, and keeps
above the schemes of personal poll
ticians, he will achieve a greatness
which will make him equal to any
ruler on earth. But if he runs it on
a partisan policy, his eminence will
soby No one can tell what he will
do. Certainly, his reticence is com.
mendable; and he seems to have
firmness to resist any schemes which
may be suggested, or any pressure
brought 10 bear on him. Of.course,
to instance. 1t is expected that
changes will be made; that has been
the rule of all parties, But with
trained men in the civil service,
some having natural and acquired
skill in the work, will the President
place party above the usefulness
and peculiar and superior skill and
care of those men? Take an illus
tratien; Some men can't learn to do
the work at all. Some men are Pc
culiarly skillful. Is the latter with
long experience to be put aside just
to reward some partisan? A man is
located just SO that he accommodates
the public, and has always done so.
is the public to be disturbed to re-
ward a partisan NJ In short, where
there is natural and easy arrang-
ment of things, are they to be dis
turbed for party purposes, to the
sacrifice of the public good. So far
as President Cleveland has indicat-
ed anything, it does not look so.
We shall see.
