care of sanitary arrangements, es-
pecially in warm weather.
For a number of consecutive terms
the district has employed as teacher,
Miss Florence ellis of Barton Land
ing. It still retains it's prestige as the
banner school of the town. There is
more regular attendance, less of tar
diness; there is enthusiasm in the
work which I have seldom seen equal
led in any school. Scholars show an
independence in their labor which
speaks of an assurance that they are
right, and they go ahead. There is
an instructive, interesting and uplift-
ing pleasure in visiting this depart
ment. This testifes powerfully OF
| few facts which should be regarded,
e. o.. License of first class teachers.
The best are cheapest in all respects,
and should be kept as long as posi-
BILE. No teacher can develop her meth
DDS, and come fully into harmony with
her scholars in one term. There has
been more interest manifested by
than in any other. This is a great
stimulus to the pupils, and guardians
of it's interests have by personal in
spection created laudable ambition,
which solves in large measure the
problem of discipline, and tends to
carry the school to high point of in
tellectual excellence. My estimate of
the teacher employed, made previous
ly, has been fully warranted. The
grand work accomplished is the best
recommendation possible. The
school furnishings here are the best
in town = charts, maps, blocks, die
tionary, etc., but the school is worthy
of having more improvements in this
line.
District No. g. School house is
very poor. but further comment is un-
necessary, as previous to the passage
of the last session school law this dis
trict with commendable zeal, cOnsid-
ering their circumstances, were far
on the way toward having new and
modern building, in good location.
to the encouragement of teachers, and
scholars. There is not the interest in
personal supervision that there ought
to be. The school is very deficient in
appliances for help. If you would
have your scholars enthusiastic, and
good government carried to high
degree, the taxpayers must visit the
schools On the first term of the year
there was no school taught here, the
district thinking it advisable to carry
the scholars to Coventry. The school
was for two terms taught by Miss Ada
Webster, teacher of excellent quail
fications, under whose fidelity the pu-
pills made rapid gains.
District No. 4. Here the good spirit
of Improvement has been at work.
Much needed changes have been made
in the school-room, it is now one of
the pleasantest in town. New wains-
coting, flooring, and seats of the most
improved constructions, add beauty
and utility to the internal appoint
mentS. The Inhabitants ought to take
deeper interest in the school, we'll
manned with school furniture, and
with some few additions to be one of
the best located and patronized in the
town limits. The sanitary conditions
are not met here as they ougnU TO be.
The first term was taught by Miss
Bell Mari This was her first expert
ence, but it is a deserved compliment
to state that it was grand success. [
think the register will show as little
blackness for this term vas for any
taught here for many seasons. The
| scholars were interested and it was a
session showing good results; and
| that it brought out and held d larger
attendance of all the scholars in the
limits is golden NEED Of praise for
the young teacher. Miss Hattie Aus
tin closed the terms of the year, do
ing her best, as usual With the spirit
of seventy-siX floating in their veins,
teacher and scholars united to cele
brate Columbus Day, and secured the
national emblem to Goat in beauty
above a new generation born under
its sheltering folds.
District No. 5. Children who at
tend this school are truly blessed, for
where the building is located the eye
can take in a vast range Of country,
diversified by lake, rill, mountain and
river. Favored is the child who un
der these eXhilarating conditions
/ grows in body and spirit. hope the
people OF the district are not losing
interest in this school, an interest
| which has been a very helpful factor
