One of the most important offices in
the promotion of education is that of the
trustees of a school; and yet how seldom
are these duties discharged as they might,

are arduous,often involving disagreements

neighbors, and above all from the intri-
cate wording and contradictory sections
of the present Act. ‘The office is at best
a thankless one, and those who fill it
