last Mr.. Fairbanks called the conven-
ton to order there were few seats unoc-
cupied either in the galleries or in the
sections assigned to the delegates and
slternates.
The convention was called to order at
10:45, three-quarters of an hour behind
time, when prayer was offered by the
Rev. DR.. w. G. Williams. He fmplored
on "this great historic organization the
blessing of the God of Washington and
of Lincoln" He prayed blessing on
the delegates as the successors of our
noble fathers and that they might
acquit themselves of their high duties
In a manner so worthy of their noble
ancestors

The law requires that the acting school visitor or visitors "Shau, one week at least before the annual town meeting, submit to the board full writ ten report of their proceedings, and of che condition of the several schools dur ing the preceding, with plans and sug- gesLions for their improvement"
 All members of the board are acting school visitors in this town, and so we all should report on the schools we visit, with view to their improvement. But this important requirement has never been met since I have been member of the board, and this is the third year of my term of service.
 A move was made at the beginning oi the present school year to secure re- port from each vi-itor on the condition of each school visited, at the end of the first term, to the end that we all might be posted on the general state of all the schools in town.
 But when the time came, no one wa; quite prepared to make complete re- port, or for some reason the work was not accomplished. It has sometimes been remarked by members of the boarc that each member ought to visit all tho schools in order to have a right under standing of the educational interests o

His views would seem strange indeed to men of John Calvin's type of mind, but these lines are beau tiful suggestion of how great men may entirely reverse their opinions-if notson earth, then up in Heaven; An unelected infant sighed out its little
