 To correct certain false reports ths , have been circulating, the principal ( l the Fairfield academy desires to stat
 that there has been no change in tuitio
 rates; young ladies are still admitted g usual; the academy building will be u
 ed for school purposes; Prof Orters wi
 have charge of the elocution and Mis Smith of the music; Miss Wetherbee wi = be the assistant; the hours of the sessio l will be from a m to l p m. The Fla
 term will open, September 23. r The near approach of town caucuse should set every taxpayer thinking as
 whom he would like to see in the variou town offices in 1892. Too often voter
 assemble in caucus without definite coI
 clusion as to who is the most fit cand date. Will you allow me brief space t call attention to our Board of Schot Visitors. The members whose terms e1
 pre, this year, are Dr Durham, Reput , lican; E. l.. Wells, Democrat. Whil
 not desiring in the least to depreciat
 their work, I believe the board would b rendered more efficient if their place ; were filled by two ladies. It is imposs
 ble for the former to give anything lik , the necessary time for such work and
 know he will fully endorse the sugges . ion I make, which is, that he now brin to an end his meritorious record on til board and allow Mrs Durham to occup
 his place. Her qualification, by educ;
 tion and experience in school work, too well known to require comment. I
 this part of town affairs at least, dro
 politics and have board composed ( ; something else than lawyers. Let | have two such ladies as the one mention ed on the board and l venture that sue
 demoraliZation in our schools as at pre- ent will not again exist. Will some zoe
 Democrat nominate another?- w. , D., Fairfield, September II.
