SCHOOL REPORT.
Good work has been accomplished by our schools in the past year. The winter term of the Centre schools was broken in upon by the scarlet fever, but all thus afflicted have fully recovered, and the best of health now prevails.
"Barnes' Readers" have been introduced into our schools, and are much enjoyed by teachers and scholars. Also the "Vertical System" of writing. After a trial of less than two terms, the results are exceedingly satisfactory.
