The attendance at the school meeting |
last Tuesday evening was about the same
as usual. J. n. Webster acted as modera-
tor. DR.. j. A. Pearson was elected clerk; |
I'll. c. Pierce, trustee for three years; E. F.
Dutton, P. L. Webster and w. M. Wright
were elected to serve as auditors. 1t was
voted to have seven schools with eight
teachers, and thirty six weeks of school.
A tax of 65 cents was voted. Mrs.
Porter Baldwin asked to be released from
her Off ,e as school trustee, but was pre-
vailed upon to continue in the office. Mr..
Stannard was present and spoke for time,
urging the parents to show their interest
in the school by visiting it occasionally.
He stated that there had been but very
few visitors in the school rooms during
the past year and urged the parents to do
their duty in this line during the coming
year which will do much toward increasing
interest on the part of the children. Mr..
Stannard called the attention of those
present to the new physical apparatus
which has recently been purchased, and
explained regarding many of the expert
ments which can be made upon t. This is
something which has been needed in the
school for some time and will add much
to the work which can be done in various
lines.
The following article was given US by
one who attended the party at Mr.. Nc
LeIlan's: John Mcclellan invited his
friends in Barton to his sugar camp last
Friday. A large number responded and
! about 9 O'Clock a. m. drove quietly to the
camp which is nearly half a mile west of
Glover village. Mr.. Mcclellan has a sugar
orchard of 1850 trees and as it lays on
slope, most OF the sap is piped directly to
the sugar house. Here everything is most
conveniently arranged and the large Cham
piOn evaporation, capable of boiling in q
painful a minute, takes care of the sap with
the least possible expenditure of time,
labor, and fuel. The sugar produced is of
the finest quality, but the verdict was
unanimous that it was no better than the
scrambled eggs, plain doughnuts, pickles,
ETC., which Mrs. Mcclellan set before the
guests in lavish quantities. The party was
a very pleasant one, each seeming to
Crane his mind to mirth and merriment
Which has thousand charms, and length
ems life.''
When after eating their fill the company
gathered in front of the camp preparatory
to starting for home, the woods were made
to ring with three hearty cheers for the
genial host and hostess.
