changed. From being a conservative and careful town, pursuing, perhaps, a somewhat over-cautious policy in the past, it has be- come in recent years a thoroughly progressive, wide-awake, and modern town. I have seen great changes in the town during the past five years ; and those who have lived here longer have seen still greater ones. In recommending measures for the schools, which ought to be, and, I think, are, the crowning glory of the town, it is necessary to keep these facts in mind. That which was appropriate and fitting yesterday, may be out of place to-day. I have full confidence that the people, in making provisions for the schools, wil! aet in harmony with the spirit of the age
The American school, like the American home, belongs to a new order of things. It is the evolutionary outcome of forces that have been unusually active in recent years. I have full confidence that the people, in keeping up with the times in educational matters, will preserve a correct alignment with the best thought of the day. Under the eye of Him who doeth all things well, the schools have steadily advanced to the proud position they at present occupy. To your good judgment much is due. To the liberality and wisdom of the people much is due. To the eternal vigilance of the teachers, whose able and conscientious efforts make for more to-day than they have ever done in the past, perhaps still more is due.
Respectfully submitted,
