TOWN SCHOOL SYSTEM.
Circular Letter Issued by the State
 Board of Education

Circular Letter Issued by the State Board of Education.
 The State Board of Education has issued the following letter to selectmen and school authorities relative to the adoption of the town system in the arrangements of schools.
 Board of Education,
 Hartford Conn, Sept, 1901. Dear Sir: There are 1857 towns in New England. In 1456 towns schools are managed under the town" system, leaving 101 in whole or In part under the district system. Of the 101, 80 per cent, or S1, are in Connecticut. Eighty seven towns in Connecticut have adopted the town" system.
 Experience in this and other states shows that town management gives better education to the children for whom alone schools exist, secures bet ter buildings, and promotes deeper in- terest on the part of parents and the whole community In order that the question may be acted upon by your town in 1901 the following suggestions are made:
 1. The vote must be taken at the an- nual town meeting.
 2. The ballot box in which the bal lots for town officers are deposited should be marked, Generalization of Districts
 3. Official ballots with the words Yes" and NO" must be provided, and can be obtained from the state board of education.
 A. The ballot must be placed in the official envelope with ballots for town officers and deposited in the box mark ed as stated above. 5. The following clause in the warn ing of the town meeting will be suf- f1cient: To determine by ballot wheth- CT the town will abolish all the school districts and parts of school districts within it's limits and assume and main- tain control of the public schools there in. Yours truly,
 CHARLES D. HINE,
 Secretary.
