And George ]. Seager Of Spaulding High
to Superintend Barre Town Schools.


A change has been made in the super.
intendent Of the public schools In Barre

sumo his new duties al that time Mr.
Seager Is graduate of Dartmouth col.
lege and has been engaged in teaching
in Spaulding high school for the past
three years.
lie viii find that his predecessor has
done good work in securing uniformity
in the books and the equipment Of the
various schools in the district, as when
Mr. Childs went there the schools were
using almost as many kinds Of books
as there were schools There are 20
schools in the district which Mr. Seager
viii have.
Mr. Childs has had the schools Of the
Town and Williamstown In his iuris-
diction as the two communities Joined
together in o school unit" and had the
same superintendent; but IL was almost
physical impossibility for one man
TO cover the "A schools and DO justice
to them. Hence it was thought advis-
able to separate the two towns. This
separation would have left Barre Town
just outside the chance to hass It's own
superintendent had not the last legis-
lature reduced the number Of schools IN
"unit" from thirty to twenty-five.
Barre Town having twenty.six came
within the requirement. and is, therefore.
entitled 70 its superintendent and get
its rebate from the state school act
Williamstown. X \ understood. has not
set formed q new unit
Mr.. Seager will probably remove from
this city 10 the Town as soon as his
new duties begin, in order 10 be as near
as possible to the center Of bis work; but
even at that he will be far removed from
some of the schools, as the district Is
widely scattered. The salary Of the
superintendent under the state law IL
81 $50, and generally the superintendent
has to keep a team 10 get about his
district.
