At the close of the Fall term, in 1873, Miss Lawlor, teacher of the Centre Primary, wished to have a res- pite from labor, which was granted. Having been absent about eight months, she returned with improved health, and re-entered upon her duties as teacher of the Centre Primary, commencing with the Fall term.
We were sorry to have Miss GUSTIN leave the South School, where she had taught so successfully for two years and about eight months. She left to take charge of a school in Lexington. Her place is occupied by Miss ELLA L. MUNROE, a graduate of the Normal School, Salem, and we trust she will be equally suc- cessful.
Miss E. M. Goss, a graduate of the Bridgewater Normal School, and an excellent teacher, left the North School, after a year's service, and is teaching in Marshfield, Mass.

From these facts, taken from the "Report of the Board of Education," it is evident that the inhabitants of this town have made a more ample provision for their schools. It is evident, also, that parents are placing a higher value upon the precious privileges enjoyed by them and by their children; for the aver- age attendance has increased. But is there not room for still further improvement? Are not the absences far too many for the good of the scholar, or the good of the school? Except in case of sickness, no child between 5 and 15 years should be allowed to be ab- sent from school, not even once during the school term. This is no more than some of our scholars have done, and were happy to do, and by so doing, they have set a noble example.
Moreover, when a child is allowed to be absent from school for trivial causes, he injures the record of the whole school. Also the child, in consequence of fre- quent absence, loses all interest in his studies; and because he does not keep up with his class, by reason of absence and want of interest, the teacher feels it necessary to put him back into a lower class. And now comes trouble for the teacher: for the parents blame her for putting their child back, when they ought to place the whole blame upon themselves. Had they kept their child in school, and seen to his having his lessons, and tried to encourage him in his studies, then, instead of being put back, he would have been advanced to the head of his class. Parents, if you wish your children to advance in their studies, and to be promoted to higher classes, then take an interest in their studies, and encourage them to be perfect in attendance, and perfect in their lessons.

Parents and guardians of our youth, while we would thank you for the liberal provision you have made for our schools, permit us to express the hope that it may be a blessing which will be continued, and which our youth will appreciate more and more: for a good ed- ucation is the most valuable legacy we can give, or they receive.
