Excerpt from Annual Reports of the Town Officers of Chesterfeld, N. H: For the Year Ending February 15, 1896 The schools the past year have generally been satisfactory. Teachers have not in all instances realized our expectations. Parents rarely (all of them) do their full duty in striving to sus tain discipline and uphold the teachers. The children undeis stand the drift of home Opinion and lose interest, and the stand ard of the School is lowered and progress interrupted. Parents, knowing how hard it is to manage their own children, should be lenient in their judgment of teachers called to govern a large number of pupils, of all grades and temperaments. Per fection cannot be expected. Parents, teachers and scholars will occasionally fail in their duties pertaining to the schools; but for the best results all must work together to the extent of their ability, and if there is a fault, smother it, if possible, and by all means prevent it from being proclaimed from the hill tops.
