are rather disposed to resent the

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1912-01-26
BARRE's PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Barre people do not rely on annual
reports to show them that their public
school system is making good progress,
but the reports for the year e ina
December 81, 1911, serve to siren, IN
the general impression as to the high
standing Of the department Other
proofs are the competence OF the pupils
who come out from the system, the
frank commentator of educators in
higher institutions OF learning who come
to Barre especially to investigate con.
ditions, and, finally, the standard of
work maintained by those graduates OF
Spaulding high school who enter those
higher institutions for completing their
education. In these latter respects, the
high school is, of course, the direct OBJ.
iect of consideration, but the standard
of the high school is dependent on the
groundwork laid in the grades OF the
system; and it follows, therefore, if the
high school is of a high standard, the
entire system must be permeated with
an element of the same sort. We know
that the high school is doing good work,
and il must follow that the standard of
the grades is also high. Inasmuch as
the city is expanding a sum well toward
$4,000 annually in support of the pub
lie school system, it is reassuring that
we are getting reasonable return on
the investment, for investment it really
amounts to; We risk certain amount
OF money in the public schools in the
expectation of returns in more capable
young people who are soon to become
the commanding influences of the city.
Barre is making a good Investment and
one entirely necessary under the condi-
tons which exist in cosmopolitan
like Barre. For turning
this investment into good use, the peo-
pie are deeply indebted 10 conscien-
tious board of school commissioners, to
a capable superintendent and to a we'll |
balanced corps of teachers.
