In one part of his he eays "I do not approve ef the way . they are taught, and (mark the wgrds) iny 1 child is very, useful to me," That ii-where the cloven foot peeps out, I fancy. He may also imagine that dancing is of far fjraalej importance to a child than Standards," but the StaU differs from him, and as to hii tiradeagainst the school committee that can be taken for what it is worth, as also the ■ Blur on the master and teachers. In cob* elusion I would ask him, as he wishes to j,raport a few good men into Featherstoni if it would not be advisable to import & ' few good contractors at the same tinw.
