Should Improve Schools.
The apron and food sale held by Mem
phremagog Grange in Newport last
Wednesday afternoon and evening was
a decided success. The program for the
evening was scheduled in the years pro-
gram for "A Public School Night" and
E. S. Watson, superintendent of schools,
was asked to address the meeting. Mr..
Watson appealed to the order to take
more interest in such matters, not mere
ly in helping support the schools in the
ordinary way, but to take an interest
in the teacher into whose hands they
entrusted the education of their children,
and to see to it that the schoolhouses
were made more homelike. both inside
and out thus encouraging the children to
take a personal interest in their sur
roundings both in school and at home.
Mr.. Watson dwelt for some time on his
experience with the teaching in the rural
schools, emphasizing, as set forth in his
annual town report, that the teaching
and teachers were not what they should
be. He also spoke of the boys and girls
on the farm, citing from his own per
sonal experience to illustrate how easy
it was to discourage them by not
allowing them to have some responsible
ties of their own, enabling them to see
for themselves the cost of things and
thus help fit them for their life work.
