A we'll attended school meeting was
held in Dist. No. 4, to complete and
close out the business of the district
before surrendering matters to the
town. The debts were all closed out
by the officers and full settlement
made. HI. S. Andrus, chairman, was
called upon to address the meeting
and he gave a very interesting talk in
the line of "reminiscences and history.
He had attended the meetings of the
district for more than forty years, and
he spoke with feeling of the many,
some dead and others gone to other
places, who had participated in the
educational work of the past. He
spoke of the regret, on the part of
many, in giving up the old system and
adopting the town system, but pre-
dicted that the people would be loyal
and give the new law fair trial.
