 The annual meeting of the board of education, took place at the house of Mrs c. c. Gorham, on Monday evening. w. c. Sanford was elected chairman, and E. P. Shaw secretary, Mrs c. Gorham, w. c. Sanford and E. P. Shaw, acting visitors. The schools were assigned as follows: To Mrs c. c. Gorham, Ridge and Lone Town; to W. c. Sanford, Um- pawaugh, Diamond Hill, and Boston and to E. F. Shaw Center, Foundry and Couch Hill. Miss Annie Williams, hav ing kindly volunteered to teach vocal music occasionally, in some of the schools, it was voted to allow the teach CTS to devote such time, as they might deem expedient, to singing. It is to be hoped that in another year, the town may be induced to make provision for teacher, who will devote her whole time to giving instruction in this useful branch of education. Our schools are now all in session, and are well equipped with an efficient corps of teachers.
