have for sometime been very
anxions to have a meeting of the
Directors of the county, believing
that great good to the common
school interest would result from

do not believe is right, but such
is our school law. Yet let us
give one more day this year to
the advancement of the common
school of our county. There are
certain duties which we, as
school officers, should meet to.
gether, consult and have a thor.
ough understanding and work in
unison, each assisting the other.
BY so doing you will confer a
favor on yourselves, and enable
me as Superintendent, to more
accurately discharge the duties
devolving upon me.
The meetings are centrally To-
Gated, the one at Union, for the
9th, 7th, Sth, 9th, 10th, 18th, 10Th,
