31 SCHOOL REPORT. 29 The school year just closed has been one of average prosperity. Our schools do not reach that degree of excellence we could wish or reasonably expect, from the amount of money raised for their support. The principal causes of this partial failure are the same as those of former years which have been repeatedly stated and their correction urged without avail ; among these is the lack of an appreciative value of an education on the part of many parents, and their failure to send their children to school regularly. (See Roll of Honor.) We would again urge the Prudential Committee, before employing teachers, to consult, if practicable, with the Superintending Committee with reference to the wants of their respective schools, and thus secure teachers best qualified to govern and instruct said schools. The advantages of such a consultation will be obvious to all, and result, we believe, in an increased excellence of schools and a more judicious expenditure of school money ; results desired by all tax-payers. The teachers in our schools the past year, generally have given good satisfaction : some laboring with more zeal and evident love of their work than others, yet all have endeavored to discharge their responsibilities faithfully, and some have done so with a high degree of acceptance. We noticed one or two registers that gave evidence of haste and carelessness in their records ; and answers to some important questions were entirely ignored. We have thought it beneficial to the interests of the scholars to make a change of reading books, and upon examination of different series have selected McGuffey's Revised Readers as specially worthy of introduction into our schools. The old series have been in use in town more than twenty years, and the pupils becoming familiar with their selections have not that interest in reading which novelty gives. McGuffey's Readers, well and strongly bound, richly illustrated, containing various and appro

32 30 SCHOOL REPORT. priate selections from two hundred of the best authors, are well calculated to interest and instruct the older scholars, while the First Reader is admirably adapted to those commencing to read. Arrangements have been made at our bookstore by which the old readers can be exchanged for the new at greatly reduced rates. The following are the names of those who passed a successful examination for admission to the Grammar School at the commencement of the third term in District No. 1, viz. : James Foss, Fred Knight, Albert Miles, Eddie Prescott, Justin Stick ney, Edith Hopkinson, Winnie Hoyt and Susie Garland.
