To the Emtob: The time is near at hand when voters of the several school districts will be permitted to meet in annual meeting and elect a director and clerk to assist in conducting the affairs of our common schools. This event is one of the greatest importance to our common wealth, and yet sometimes owing to very small numbers being present at the annual meeting it would appear to be of the least importance. Now to both men and women I would say, attend this meeting In your district, and see to it that proper persons are placed on the school board, persons who have a personal interest in the schools persons capable and willing to make the necessary sacrifice to promote the very best uossible results. I said " men and women," for both sexes are on an equality; both have a right to vote and hold office in school districts. I would like to appeal to the many mem bers of the strange in this county. We say to the world that " we will endeavor to de- veloD a better and higher manhood and womanhood among ourselves, to enhance the comforts and attractions of our Homes, and strengthen the attachments of our pur suits; that we will advance the cause of ed ucation among ourselves and for our cb.il- iln-n by all Just means in our power," ami on (he first Monday of March of each year let us attend, Hie school ine tings and do our whole ilutyin the same. 1 world likit to call the attention of tha district boards in some of the rural dis tricts to th practice of calling this import ant meeting in the afternoon, say 1 o'clock p. m, instead of 7 o'clock p. tn. At this season of the Year the road are it) a had condition, iinl in dark nights it is almost impossible lor rotors to jret to the meetings. 1 have heard it stated in defence of night meetings that to hold them in the afternoon would interfere with school hours, and the teacher would not like to lose half a day. It appears to toe that the teacher should not lie required to lose the time, but that he aml Uie pji, sho(M kimlly invit.il to remain, and the teacher he requested to make any suggestions he or she might deem best for the interest of the school in presence of the patrons of the school. And the pupils would be attentive listeners and would early learn something of the routine of business connected witn the running of the common schools, ltesectfully submitted. J. Ctato.
