tom submt the following report of my
services ~ superintendent OF schools. and
Of the condition OF the schools in the
town OF Manchester Vermont. Tor the
SCHOOL yeir ending Mar. 3Ist. 1893 l have
visited sil the schools regularly every
term. observing carefully the methods OF
tesching slso the puuc,uslity, regularity
aud diligence OF the pupils. and have tried
to brace up every teacher and every pupil
at the weakest poiLt.
1t is the judgement Of yonr supsrinten'
dent that too great importance can not be
attached to the work done in the public
schools. Tor they are one Of the chief corr
ner stones OF cur national greatness. The
msjority OF our eiaz,ns know 10 other
college than that which they find in the
disuic. sci DOL. therefore by raising the
standard Of the public schools we increase
the intellectual greatness OF the masses.
These sci ools are 81 the stepping stone
to the higher Institutions OF learning
Good wook do te hire. not only makes il
