THE writer is in error about
Mr.. McChesney proposing ten
months school now. The prop
osition is for six or seven months
and the indications are more IA
vorable 10 the adoption OF the six
months term. The object OF this
Is TO give the poor children better
chance to secure an education.
The city and town schools are not
effected by this law in very many
Instances, as they already have
longer terms provided by special
taxation. The law is decidedly in
the interest OF the poor farmers
children, and II is II very rare case
In which little extra effort op
the part OF the parents will not
enable their children to avail
themselves OF the full benefits OF
these opportunities, which mean
SO much to their entire futures.
We can not agree with the
writer as to paying salary TO
trustees. 1t isan office worthy OF
the free service OF the best men in
every community, men OF public
spirit and broad minds.-Ed.
