orr PUBLIc ScHOOL&
REPORT

OF the Town superintendent 1ss7-'sS.
The following report is presented in full,
to the public at this time, and will he in
corporated with the report Of the auditors
in February 1899 The school registers
for the year closing March Goth, 1888 were
in most cases, correctly endorsed and
promptly returned by the district clerks.
There has been, however, carelessness on
the part Of some Of the teachers in max
ing out their returns. This appears under
the questions asking for the school where
they were educated, the kind Of certificate
under which they teach and the date of the
same. These facts are sought by the state
superintendent, and it will save much
trouble for the town superintendent if the
teachers will kindly answer these ques-
tions in full in the future
The aggregate Of scholars in the public
schools last year was 1908. This is the
smallest number for several years Dur
ing the same time there were 2lj in pri-
vate schools or academies a number great.
err than for the past three years This fact
shows that in all districts, especially out
side Of District 2, there are scholars con
stantly reaching beyond the advantages Of
fered them in our smaller schools Some
of these avail themselves where practica-
bic, Of the High school in District 2 But
the larger number attend private schools
There appears to be a tendency on the
part Of the several districts to increase the
number Of weeks Of school during the
year fact which is very encouraging in
viewing our schools and their work The
average given in the last report was % 0-13
weeks. The average for this year is 32 S1l
weeks. Only two districts, . and H. have
fallen TO the minimum Of - weeks All
others have held 30, or more, weeks of
school

maintained in this district. But the school
is crowded and the teacher could do bet

great haste, with the cavalry pressing them
closely, exchanging shots as our men fell back.
But on seeing our infantry force already ahead
Of them they gave up the chase. About 4
o'clock the rebel infantry came up, and we
commenced TO construct temporary earthworks,
expecting an immediate advance; but On ac-
count OF the lateneSs of the day nothing but
getting the two contending armies in line Of
battle was done.
Next morning (the 25tb) we stood to arms
awaiting an advance on our position, but the
day passed without any move, except now and
then a shot in exchange from the artillery on
both sides, with a slight advance on our picket
line, compelling US to take new position.
The morning Of the 26th was rainy and dis
agreeable; raining all day long, with slight
skirmishiug.
On the morning Of the 18th skirmishing was
general all along the line; also, artillery firing
from the enemys guns, throwing shells among
Us, which resulted ia the loss of one man, kill
ed, from Co. ii.
On the morning Of the goth, and during the
day, AL was quiet until o'clock, at which time

wounded, and a number of the same company

We withdrew and fell back TO Franklin, Tenn,
by forced march Of some 30-odd miles, We
were aroused at o'clock to get our breakfast,
after which We set to work building earth
works, with the right of the 10th resting on
the turnpike. Immediately on our right on
the pike was posted two pieces of artillery,
and 10 the right OF the artillery the Tooth Ohio
was stationed.

j notice mention made by two different COM
rades that the 10th Ohio had its line broken.
One stated that the 10th Ky. charged the reb-

In about week we were stopped at Lake
City, Fla, where we were again paroled. Here
we first heard Of LiHc0ln's assassination. The
guards were not jubilant, but seemed to feel
shat they, too, had lost friend
Here also we parted company with the guards,
and after ride Of 40 miles reached Baldwin,
when we started for Jacksonville, 20 miles
distant. 1t was late in the evening aud when
well outside the rebel picket darkness set in,
and we built big fires Of pine-knots; tired and
weary, we laid down to sleep.
We were now free, after months of longing
and waiting and many times giving up in des-

no guard to say "halt" But what if they
should harden their hearts, as Pharaoh did
