In such soft and warm embrace.

Both upon Gods purpose walt

A word ABOUT SCHOOLS.

Barnard is suffering from a sehoolma am
famine-only one to be found in town. Ad-
refreshments are out calling for volunteers
from other places.
What is the matter that young people
are not educated well enough to teach
There are few ancients, schooled under
the old district schools, ready to enlist
but up-to-date school boards call them
back numbers.
/ noticed a resolution introduced in
Woodstock town meeting by our efficient
county clerk, j. Read Pember. that the
present school system was a failure, and
legislation was necessary to either make
improvement in present laws or return to
the old district plan. This resolution
passed by decided majority, and | think
a similar one would be well received
throughout Vermont.
Barnard pays over 5000 every year for
the support OF ten small schools and is act
ually obliged to go out of town for teach
ers.
Our popular superintendent OF schools,
+. NJ. Chase, in his annual report every
year begs, pleads and insists that parents
and taxpayers shall visit the schools,
thereby encouraging the scholars in their
work, but the registers show that besides
Mr.. Chase, Minister Currier once, one di-
rector once, but few other men had inter
est enough to look in. Ladies seem to
take more interest within the last year,
especially in East Barnard, where the
names count over thirty; Barnard village
sixteen; all the rest much smaller num-
Der. In one school Of Is pupils, costing
over goo, not a single resident stepped in
side except the scholars, for the whole
three terms.
Can you expect any success in business
conducted in this manner? Some say that
this lack OF interest is caused by the par
ents and taxpayers having no voice in the
conduct or expense of their schools. /
think Mr.. Pember is right-that legisla-
ton is necessary, either to make improve
ment in present laws or return to the old
district system.
