Excerpt from Annual Report of the Receipts and Expenditures of the Town of Bow, for the Year Ending March 1, 1876: Together With the Superintending School Committee's Report The only change made in text-books has been the introduction of Monroe's Readers, which are used in all the schools in town with the exception of district No. 1, a change which has been of great practical benefit as we believe. While our schools have not as yet attained that standard of excellence which we could wish, yet there are many things to encourage and prompt to still greater efforts than have yet been made. We think the Schools during the past year, taken as a whole, will compare favorably with previous years; the same we think can justly be said of the teachers. To the teachers we would say, you can do much to form the habits of the young. See that you direct their feet in the right way, and that the blight of immorality does not strike the tender plants in the spring-time of their existence.
