WATERFOWL JOTTINGS
Secretary Hine Expected to Address
 School Committee.

Friday evening of next week there Will De meeting in the interest of the consolidation of schools. It is expect ed that Secretary Hine of the state board of education will make an ad- dress. This question has come up at annual elections for the past four or i've years and each time it has been defeated, once by margin of only three or four votes. Apparently it is one of those questions which will not be downed. Beach year it bobs up se- renely and demands attention. One of these days it will come up and be car ried. With only a few exceptions schools throughout the state are run under this system and in almost every instance the citizens are better satis- fled and schools are better than under the old system of district manage ] ment. 1t is only 9 question of time when Watertown will have to get in line and abolish the cumbrous district methods for the better and simpler methods employed in town manage ment.
