The past week / visited niuo Of
the above schools, viz: Nos. +. 2, 3.
!, 3, 6, z, II and 10. / found
nearly everything connected with
the discipline and system Of
these schools as ! wanted TO find 10
except at No. 4. There is % large
school here, and they have 70 very
pleasant gentlemen for % teacher
but there is q lack Of that quiet
discipline and study that we $50
much admire in school. ] will
give a more extended report Of the
condition OF these schools when ]
complete my visits in this district.
! also visited Nos. 4, ., q and l3 boo
Portland district, and ! was well
satisfied with the most ! saw but
] am still Of the opinion that many
Of our teachers assign too long les
son and then hurry too much dur
ing recitation. A lesson is never
well committed until rccited there
fore, it is not best &c assign more
for a lesson than we have time to-
give our attention at recitation.
In my last report, in referring to
the schools Of Ncwburg and indie
pcndcnce, ] only meant that iu at
tendance, ut the present time, they
did not compare well with other
schools and 1 Thought that was
fully accounted for by sickness. In
other reports / think these schools
viii compare very fayorably with
the other schools Of the county, and
] certainly would be- the last one TO-
detract from the credit due Cine
teachers Of these schools.
Very Respectfully,

and members Of Orrcl Lodge, No.
20, /. O. o. T., for their generous
assistance and kind sympathy dur
ing the long and fatal illness Of my
husband. My residence in your
midst was OF short duration and in
almost every week Of it there was
painful watching and sorrow, and
in theend bereavement, yet through
it all, a merciful Father has led us,
and softencd the trouble by your
Christian kindness. Myself and
relations will ever remember with
feelings of gratitude the pleasant
acquaintences formed in the time Of
our trouble. We shall ever cherish
the sentiment that prompted the
order Of Odd Fellows to manifest so
much attention to the interest and
welfare Of my husband, while living
and their kindness to me in his
death.
