The past season has impressed upon
the writer the great value OF the intro

that brings chickens up on the free

tails no little anguish OF soul and body,

number of chickens. The placing OF
Individual broods in boxes and barrels
here, there and everywhere about the
premises may answer when the chicks
are little, but as they outgrow their
small quarters and an attempt Is MADE
to transfer them TO new quarters, then
the trouble begins, and chickens OBJ

Superintendent of Education Stone ar
CUES forciby and cOgently for the continu-
alton of the town system in his annual re-
port. He quotes census figures to show
the increase of population in the cities and
large villages and the decrease in the agri-
cultural towns. The descendants of the
old New England stock are the ones who
have graduated from agriculture to trade
and commerce, and their substitutes on the
farms are too frequently those who are in
different to educational advantages for
their children.
The evolution of the public school sys-
tenn is shown from 1872 to the present
time. Up to 1850 all the expenses of sup
porting schools might be laid upon
scholars attending, and from 1850 to 1864
the expense of wood and of the teachers
board might be laid on the scholar. In
1864 the betrayal of all school expenses
was by taxation; 1870, town system OPP
tonal; 1888, county supervision; 1892,
town system compulsory,
In support of the present law the super
intendent says: "The common good de-
mauds common support, and justice de-
mands an equal distribution of the burden.
Our smallest social unit in govern
mental affairs is the town, it is the best APP
prOXimatiOn IN administration Oh school
affairs. ii the loWn proNlues Ine
major part of the revenue for the public
schools by an equal taxation, it should also
disburse such revenue" The salutary eff
feet of the town system is already seen in
improved quality of teachers and better
work accomplished.
Concerning the normal schools, the SUI
perintendent says: "Our normal schools
are endeavoring to fulfill their mission, but
are embarrassed because they fail in re-
ceiying from the state such support and
recognition as is essential to first-class pro-
fessional schools. The state should as
sumo control and give unstinted support,
| The principle of administration demands
state assumption of control, and legislative
measures to that end should be enacted
The superintendent favors return to
the examination system provided by the
school law of 1888, and the employment o.
professional superintendent by the towns
He also advocates free textbooks, TO

convincing argument in his valedictor!
