THE TOWN--_Continued_.

THE SCHOOLS.


Does the town system or the district system prevail in this state? If the
latter, tell how a school district is organized. Give an account of the
organization of this district.

How many and what officers have charge of the schools? State the duties of
each. Name the officers in this district. When are the officers chosen,
and how long do they serve? Are all chosen at once? Why? How do they
"qualify?" Are women eligible to school offices? To any other?

Did you ever attend the annual meeting? When is it held? Why held then?
Who take part? What business is transacted? What are "special" school
meetings?

What expenses must be met in having a school? Where does the money come
from? How does the treasurer get it into his possession? What is to
prevent his misusing it?

By whom is the teacher chosen? Why not elect the teacher at the annual
meeting? Get a teacher's contract and find out who the contracting parties
are, and what each agrees to do. Why is the contract in writing? How many
copies of it are made? Who keep them, and why?

If you had a bill against the district, how would you proceed to get your
money? If the district refused or neglected to pay you, what could you do?
