the_last meeting of the Board of school
'VlflltOl‘s:
To the Board of School Visitors, Nor-
walk. (Joan.
GumuMEnz—The committee ap-
pointed to look into the matter of High
school instruction, and report upon the
adVIsability of establishing a Town
High School, would respectfully sub-
mit the following: ~ .
Your committee find that stated High
School instruction is, given in the
schools of four districts, namely, the
Center, Over River, East Norwalk and
South Norwalk districts. According
to information obtained from the sev-
eral principals, there are at present en-
rolled in the High School departments F
of these schools one hundred and four
scholars. To the work of instructing
these scholars four teachers give all
their time. In iaddition to this from
one-third to one-half the time of each
i ppncipalis given to High School work.
- -=-From a computation made from the
salaries of the different instructors, it
is found that the town pays for teach-
ing in each of its four High Schools,
the aggregate sum of $4,800. The re-
sults obtained are evidently not com-
mensurate with the outlay.
From answers to questions propound-
ed to. the different principals, it ap-
pears that the requirements for admis-
s10n to the High School department of
the several schools are by no means
uniform. The requirements of the
different High School courses are still
less so. For instance, in two of the
schools the course covers three years.
In the remaining two, only two years.
Starting then, with different degrees of
preparation, and pursuing their studies
for unequal periods of time, the grad-
uates of our four High Schools repre-,
sent varying degrees of scholastic at-
tainments, and training. From not one
of our High Schools, would a graduate
be admitted to the Classical course in
any of our colleges. From possibly
two of our schools, graduates-would be
admitted to the usual college scientific
courses. These facts are not creditable
to the town. They indicate a serious
defect in the educational system Of the
town, and one that is entirely unneces-
sary, for more than money enough is
expended for teaching in the High
School departments to secure adequate
High School instruction.
The proper work of a High school is
to fit students for the classical and sci-
entific courses in our leading colleges ;
to give a preparation to those who con-
template a Normal school course with a
view to becoming teachers, and to fur-
nish opportunities for a thorough Eng-
lish and commercial education to those
whose school privileges end with the
High School. This can be done well
and economically in one town High
School. In’order to accomplish the de-
sired result, the course of study would
necessarily be extended to four years.‘
The scholars now pursuing their studies
in four different schools, if grouped in-
to one, could easily be managed by
three teachers; one principal, and two
assistants, for, on the first establish-
ment of a town High School, there
would be but three classes. At the end
of the first year, the number of classes
would naturally be increased to four,
and an additional teacher would be re-
quired. This would make a corps of
four teachers, with the regular number
of classes; one principal and three
assistants.
The salariesof the teachers, for the
first year need not exceed $3,000, and
might be one hundred or two hundred
dollars less. The increase, later, of the
number of teachers from three to four,
would make the aggregate paid for sal-
aries some 33,500 or $3,600. An item
, to be considered in connection with the
matter of expense would be the tuition
money which might be realized from
out of town scholars. Such scholars
could be admitted if there, should be
room for them.
The best scholars from the schools in
the adjoining towns coming into our
High School,wou1d help give it strength
and character, and would also be a pe-
cuniary benefit to the town.
The location of the school should be
as central and accessible as possible.
Some place between the two cities
would naturally best fill all require-
ments as to convenience. In the erec-
tion of a‘nemHigh School building it
would not be necessary to do much
more than meet present needs, but a
building lot of sufficient size should be
secured, and a building erected,so con-
structed, architecturally, that additions
could be made, as required, and a sym-
metrical, and convenient building, be
the result in the end.
The advantage to the lower grades,
of relieving the principals of the
schools in the several districts of all
High school work, is too obvious to re-
quire extended comment. The change
would give them that increased amount
of attention and supervision that are
requisite for the best and most uniform
results. ‘ ,
Your committee would close their re-
port with the following recommenda-
tions:
First—That a Town HighSchochbe
established, affording the instruction
in English, Scientific and Classical
itudlies, usually given in schools of the
in .
Second—That, provision be made the
first year, for three classes,» and after
the first year, for four classes, should
that number require instruction.
Third—That three teachers be one
gaged the first year; a‘principal and
two assistants, at salaries aggregating
This
arrangement has in contemplation the
engagement of another assistant teach-
er, should an additiOnal class render
such teacher necessary. _
Fourth—The purchase of a lot, some-
where between the two cities, and the
erection thereon Of a suitable High
School building, so planned that addi-
tions couldbe made when required.
FifthoThe discontinuance of. High
School instruction, in the schools of
the "several districts, after the close
of the present school year.

And They Never Came Back.
It is related of Dentist Frank T.
Hyatt, that in his sympathetic heart
he was moved to and did do a charit-
able deed in his line of business that he
regretted. He has extracted teeth
enough without charge, during his ex.
perience in business, to pave the entire
length of walk in front of his West
avenue home. A story not related by
himself is told, at his expense,however,
as follows : He has a pet Maltese oat.
Some weeks since he noticed that
“Doc,” as he calls her, showed evident
symptoms of suffering from “I wish I
up one day and found a decayed tooth
in her jaw, and he decided to extract
it. Arming himself with a pair of' for-
ceps he hitched them on to the, tooth
and quicker than you could say scat
the decayed mouse-dissecter was out.
The feline looked up in Frank’s face
with an expression of gratitude that
would f‘melt” a mortgage for $500, and
jumping to the floor danced a reel that
made the dentist’s heart glad. Soon
after “Doc” showed ,a disposition to
call onlfriends and the deer was open-
ed for her depature. The next morn-
ing on opening the office one can im-
agine Mr. Hyatt’s surprise at finding
fifteen cats at the door all with
their paws on their jaws; Nothing
daunted the sympathetic dentist ex-
tracted an aching tooth for each, in
turn, and they all departed apparently
delighted; the next morning the num-
ber of feline callers had increased to
twenty-five at which number it con-
tinued every morning for a week. Dr.
Hyatt on the last day of the week men-
and found that the cat was owned by
parties in Hartford. While glad to.
know that his skill in dentistry Was ap-
preciated by the Felts domestica in far
away Hartford. the “all for nothing”
plan of extracting teeth had become
irksome, and while in his mind wishing
every feline in the land was in some '
catacomb or cave, he decided to put a
stop to-their visits. The following morn-
ing there was the usual number of ‘ ‘cats
with paw on their Jaw” at the door. He
selected one that according to its col-
lat-badge came from Da‘nbury. Placing
the forceps on the tooth he broke it off,
and .then released the animal. Not

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able, to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Hall’s catarrh cure is the
only-positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional diaease requires a consti-
"tutional treatment. Hall’s catarrh cure
is taken internally, acting directly up-
'on.the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do-
ing its work. "'The proprietors have so
