Miss Ranney and Miss Dudley have
closed their winter schools at this viii
lage after very successful terms, prov
ing themselves worthy of continuance
in their positions. 1t is to be regretted
that the multiplicity of classes, which
seem sometimes almost imperative,
with present arrangements of orr
schools, greatly impede the progress
which otherwise might be made.

A very great religious interest is being
manifested in that vicinity, Which has
been the cause of some good already,
and may be of more.
An article has been inserted in the
warning for town meeting TO see if
the town will vote to abolish the dis
trict system of schools" 1t seems to
be the opinion of many that the doing
away with the town system a year ago
was a great mistake which should be
re3titied as soon as possible, and we
are Of that opinion, Some object to
change now on account Of the trouble
incident upon making it but that
change will be made by the operation
OF State law at no distant time.
And again, if 1t is the right thing let
us have it, and keep it TOO, il it is
beneficial. Our public schools are of
public interest, and of much more
importance than we often seem to
think, and this being so, to be penny
wise and pound foolish " will not pay
