BY very decisive majority the town
system of schools was rejected at our
annual meeting. This will settle the
question until another legislature NEEDLES
with it. The time will undoubtedly come
when law will be enacted making the
town system compulsory, but the vote of
Tuesday shows conclusively that the
people of the State are not ready for the
change just yet. A more unpopular
measure never was presented before the
people to be voted upon. They dislike
to throw over their time-honored customs,
and the privileges of the district system
1t may be for the best interests of the
State to have the town system universal,
but the voters have got to be better in
formed of the practical workings of it
before they will make the change.
