tendance 17,  Miss  Mary  E.  Rows,  teacher.  Her  first  experience  in 
teaching,  was  deeply  interested  and  labored  untiringly  to  hare  agoo* 
school ;  but  there  seemed  to  be  a  want  of  ;>rderj  which  must  have  in 
a  measure  detracted  the  progress  of  the  school. 

Winter  term,  10  weeks,  whole  number  of  scholars  18,  average  at- 
tendance 19,  taught  by  Miss  Mattie  Smith,  wlto  has  the  art  of  inter- 
esting her  scholars,  maintains  order,  and  gives  thorough  instruction 
in  all  branches.  The  scholars  by  punctual  attendance  and  close  ap- 
plication to  their  studies  made  excellent  improvement.  The  interest

that  could  be  expected  for  so  short  a  term. 

Winter  school  7  weeks,  whole  number  of  schol.us  23,  average  at-

interest  of  this  school  to  have  a  male  teacher  for  the", winter  term. 
DISTRICT  NO.  3. 
Summer  term,  6  weeks,  Mrs.  Emily  M.  Lamprey,  teacher,  whole 
number  of  scholars  17.  There  seems  to  be  a  lack  of  interest  in  this 
•chool.  The  teacher  evidently  did  the  best  she  could  under  the  ex- 
isting circumstances. 

Winter  school,  9  weeks,  taught  by  Moses  R.  Eastman,  whole  num- 
ber of  scholars  23,  average  attendance  not  given  by  the  teacher  — 
Mr,  Eastmau  appeared  fully  aware  that  the  success  of  the  school  de- 
pended in  a  great  degree  on  his  exertions,  and  by  perseverance  and 
faithfulness  in  the  discharge  of  his  duties,  he  succeeded  in  awaken- 
ing an  interest  in  all  the  exercises  of  the  school.  Good  improve- 
ment. The  Register  was  not  properly  filled,  some  of  the  most  im- 
portant items  were  entirely  neglected.

very  well.

Miss  Pearson  is  an  experienced  and  successful  teacher.  lias  the

spect of  her  pupils.      Her  efforts  ia  this  school  we;  e  successful  and 
satisfactory.

comtucudation.

Second  term  3  weeks,  number  of  scholars  8,  average  attendance  6. — 
Both  terms  were  taught  by  Vilona  E.  Folsome,  who  seemed  to  have 
much  anxiety  for  the  standing  of  the  school. 

Considering  the  age  of  the  ckolars,  and  the  shortness  of  the  terms, 
fair  progress  was  made.

tendance 17,  taught  by  Vina  L.  Dickey,  whose  superior  qualifications 
and  practical  knowledge  of  teaching  makes  her  one  of  our  most  suc- 
cessful teachers.  The  improvement  made  during  this  term,  gave 
general  satisfaction  to  all  as  far  as  1  have  been  aide  to  learn.

ies  acceptably  to  all.

One  term  of  12  weeks,  whole  number  of  scholars  7,  average  at- 

endance  G,  taught  by  Miss  Edna  A.  Bean.    This  school  was  well 

overned  and  substantial  progress  made  by  all.    The  efforts  of  a 

faithful  teacher  are  generally  successful. 

DISTRICT  NO.  12. 
First  term,  8  weeks,  whole  number  of  scholars  5,  average  attend- 
ance 4,  taught  b}r  Miss  Hannah  Moody. 

Second  term,  9  weeks,  whole  number  of  scholars  7,  average  at- 
endance  5,  taught  by  the  same.  The  teacher  and  scholars  appeared 
nterested  and  good  improvement  was  the  result. 

On  a  careful  review  of  all  the  schools  under  my  charge  the  past 
"ear  my  impression  is,  that  they  will  compare  favorably  with  those 
>f  former  years,  vet  they  fall  far  short  of  what  they  might  be,  if 
parents  would  earnestly  unite  in  their  support. 

I  am  well  satisfied,  that  the  gratest  obstacle  to  the  advancement  of 
our  schools,  is  the  want  of  sympathy  and  interest  on  the  part  of  pa- 
rents. Much  is  said  of  the  responsibility  of  teachers,  but  there  is  a 
oarental  responsil'ili  y  which  far  exceeds  ibeirs\ 

How  often  the  complaint  by  parents,  thailbeir  children  have 
little  or  no  improvement;  that  the  teacher  is 
to  teacK  and  t] 

the  teacher  is  v.  koliy  ■  licol  to 

:udge  for  yourselves?  have  you  tried  to  interest  your  child  at  home? 
tnd  have  you  en ■■'.-• 

How  often  the  complaint  rajS)  :   believed  by  pa- 

rents, that  the  teacher  is  .    Tfeosc  sc 

make  such  a  complaint,  art  nd 

ent;  and  to  justify  them 

the  industrious,  anu  obe  1  enj  to  '  vors  recei  .-ed  from  the 

teacher. 

Due  allowance  should  ■  ie  for 

wardness  of  you   i  ide  and  tnient,  pfieu  wit- 

nessed in  the  sebj  b    ittiibuted,  in  agreat  measure,  to 

die  innuences  of  home.  If  children  are  indulged  there,  and  allowed 
to  regard  the  commands  of  Seek  parents  with  indifference,  fchc  same 
spirit  will  be  manifested  in  the  school  room. 

Therefore  parents,  be  careful  of  the  home  education,  visit  your 
schools  often;  join  your  i    iuenee  with  that  of  the  teacher  in  main- 
taining order,  and  create  a  iove  of  learning  in  yourchiljlri 
all  party  politics,  c.,-iti';t  r    anels,  and  secraria  t 
school  relations ;  ;■'■■'■■  ....
