AN INTERESTING TEACHERS MEETING

The attendance at the teachers meet
ing in the Congregational church, on
Tuesday, September 27, was quite good
for 80 small town. There were %
teachers present, five school officers ana
% town residents. All who attended
felt themselves we'll repaid for the effort.
The lectures by Mr. Morrill, of New Haven
on reading, on geography by j. Freeman
Hall were the best of their kind and gave
| those not well informed in the matter the
difference between modern methods of
teaching and the system of our school
days. T. S. HOyt, formerly Of NewtOwn,
gave very interesting talk on system in
our public schools. They were all men
who had something to say and said in as
few words as the circumstances allowed.
The selectmen now have the. roads In
as good condition as is often seen at this
season; in fact have been with but few
exceptions throughout the seas on.

TOWN MANAGEMENT FOR SCHOOLS.

TOWN MANAGEMENT FOR SCHOOLS.
AT the meeting on Tuesday evening to
hear what Mr. morrill, had TO say on town
management the number of voters pres.
enc was not as large was hoped it would
be as it is not generally known just what
town mauagenA5nt means. SO44e OF the
points made clear were as follows: Ii
does not mean for this town a CONSOLE
datiOn of districts, as by vote of the
town every thing can remain as it is ex-
cepG that the two sets of officers, scbo Ol
visitors and district committees, are
merged into one board called the town
committee. This c0mmlrCee have che
same care of the schools IS the select
men do of the roads. They cannot use
any money for any purpose unless APP
propiated by the town. This committee
mee5 and apporJiOn the money for the
different districts as under the old system.
The chief gain is this committee hire the
teachers, also all of the work formerly
done by the district committees is done
by the town committee as the district
officers are abolished. After five years
any town can return to the old system if
| desired, but it is rarely done.
