conducted by the Sons of Veterans, in

Capt. Geo. w. Quimby.
here on Wednesday last, looking over
the matter with reference to holding
the Summer School in this village
again. The time is set earlier than
heretofore July 23-Aug. 4. Among
the old teachers that have been en-
gagged are Mr.. Hall, Mr.. Day and Mrs.
Ferry, all of whom gave excellent sat
isfaction last year. Others have been
engaged with special reference to
their efficiency and experience in
certain lines and branches. 1t is ex-
pected that the board of teachers will
be equal, if not better than hereto
fore. Mr.. Hazen does not wish to
crowd the school upon the village if
the people can not conveniently find
a place for the teachers. The ex-
pressed wish of many teachers that
the school come here, and the spirit of
hospitality and interest shown here,
make it desirable that it be held in
Barton Village this year, if not long
er. We think we express the feel
ings and wishes of the people when
we say that the school has been en-
joyed by our people and that much
benefit has resulted to the public,
from opportunities afforded to the
young people in the school, and to
that greater number who have at
tended the lectures. While it is quite
burden to entertain the teachers in
the household, all who can open their
doors will be willing to do so. 1t is an
advantage to the town to have the
school and our citizens will be glad to
see the teachers here again.
