LOCAL CONTROL OF SCHOOLS.

The old district system exemplifies the local control carried to a danger. ouS and injurious extreme.
 Schools cannot safely be left to pure- ly local control, for the effects of their efficiency or inefficiency are not local but widespread.
 The farmer who suffers his fields to grow up to noxious weeds cannot claim Immunity from blame because the fields are his alone; for in consequence of his negligence the fields of his more thriftily inclined neighbors are over- run by the same harmful growth. So the district or town which neglects it's schools is injuring not itself alone but the entire commonwealth, and is sow ing broadcast the seeds of ignorance, poverty and crime, and against such districts and towns the state is in duty bound to protect it's more thrifty citi- zens by insisting upon efficient schools.
 Respectfully submitted,
 c. N. Hall.

EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN.

Of the employment of children un- der the age of fourteen years in me- chanical, manufacturing, or mercan- tile esta blishments there is practically none. During the year children have been found in such establishments without certificates of age, but in eve ry case investigation has shown the child to be over fourteen. At the pres. ent time more harm and injustice is done to childhood by labor on a farm and the street than by employment in the factory; for while the latter is ab- solutely controlled by law the former knows no law save the seltishness and greed of the parent or employer. Many child who should be resting and growing works his heart out dur ing the long vacation, and returns 10 school too tired to learn and prema- turely old.
