SCHOOL REPORT.
alone can stop this great evil. Send your children to school regularly and early when it is possible; when it is not possible give them a brief note of excuse ; thus the teacher will know whether they are excusable or not, and can act accordingly .
Some parents send their children to school destitute of the necessary books. In one class of five there were but two books during a whole term. Sending a child without books, neccessitates borrowing books at school, which is an imposition. If A, purchases a book for his child, B and C have no right to presume that the teacher will deprive that child of his book, to benefit their children, because they are too careless or parsi- monious to purchase for themselves might as well expect A to furnish dinners for other children as books. Parents can understand from this why their children's books wear out so rapidly. This evi! is without ex- cuse ; if parente are too poor the town will provide them with books. Let parents remember that in sending children to school without books, they not only impose upon others and retard the progress of their own children, but also advertise themselves as niggardly, stingy, mean.
If parents are as interested as they should be in schools, their visits would not bear such a remarkable resemblance to angel's visits, " few and far between." Says the teacher for the winter term of the largest school in town, "I believe that not a single parent has visited this school this term."
Let parents consider these things ; and let them also remember, that by neglecting them, their unrestrained children are growing up to occupy subordinate positions in society -to be
" Poor slaves of civilization's galley "-
-to be ground by those that know enough to grind them-they are grow- ing up to be a disgrace, curse, and burden to society ; fitted by their ig- norance to be the tools of disloyal traitors. Let them see to it, that they meet the mighty responsibility of their position.
CHANGE OF BOUNDARIES.
For several years past the superintending committees of this town have recommended a change in the boundaries of districts 1 and 2. By the present arrangement half the money expended by the town in No 2 is thrown away ; the children suffer martyrdom from swarms of musquitos ; and both teacher and scholars fail to have that interest they would, if the school were larger. While in No. 1, the school is too large to be good under a single teacher, the teacher for the winter term states that instead of allowing 45 minutes to each arithmetic class, I have been obliged to hear 3 recitations in that time. Your committee would urge the town to consider this matter already neglected too long. A few changes easily made would equalize the matter and satisfy all reasonable persons.
It is likewise recommended that such changes as justice demands, should be made in the boundaries of No. 4 and 10. Your committee in company with a special committee, visited the disputed territory, and is of opinion that the case should be acted upon by the town and their former action, at least in a degree, reversed.
