Report on the Schools.

The concluding words of school
superintendent, Mrs. Hescock, in her
annual report ought to receive full at
tention, not only in local discussions
of the town report, but may well be
absorbed into future action: NO one
thing will remedy all the ills of our
schools, but if only progressive teach
ers of definite aim and purpose were
employed, if parents would cooperate
with the teachers, so far at least, as to
see that their children were punctual
and regular in attendance, and could
better supervision be provided we
should see marvellous change for the
better.
