The Essex County Teachers’ asso- 
ciation convention is to be held this 
year on Friday, Nov. 2, at Peabody. 
President Tucker of Dartmouth will 
be one of the speakers. 
As a result of the redistricting 
Manchester will probably have three 
representatives to the general court 
in ten years instead of two as in the 
past, and there is a chance even of 
having four. Last Friday night the 
local Republican town committee 
went to Gloucester for the purpose 
of meeting the committees from the 
three wards which form the district 
with Manchester, for the purpose of 
coming to some agreement on this 
matter. As the Gloucester commit- 
tees were not strongly represented 
no definite action was taken. It was 
practically decided, however, that 
Manchester would be_ represented 
three of the years and each of the 
Gloucester wards, two years each. 
The question is, who will have the 
one remaining year? The chairmen 
and secretaries of the four com- 
mittees will come together soon to 
decide on the matter.

“There is so much bad in the best of us!” 
Thus unto me did old Silenus say: 
I heard the mighty Jove, one day, 
Talk of the earth, which he was fain to curse, 
Saying it failed and grew from bad to worse ; 
That fast as day succeeded day 
The little rogues and vixens went astray. 
eae said, she hoped not! They were 
ut 
Ridiculous creatures, partly shut 
By distance from our vision clear, 
With this odd circumstance, they had a blur, 
An indeterminate aspect, far or near, 
Which made them seem quite other than 
they were. 
Call you them good, then good they will 
appear ; 
Call you them bad, then bad; they are so 
queer ! 
There is not one among them, fair or foul, 
That would not be a puzzle to my owl; 
Much more, to all Olympus understood, 
Could they be rightly judged as bad or good. 
Too good for banning, and too bad for bless- 
- Ing 
An interesting folk to keep us guessing !

men of the convention: Your com- 
inittee have notified me of the 
action of your convention in choos- 
ing me for the nomination for sena- 
tor from this district, for which I 
am justly thankful. It is my hope 
that after a year’s service I will 
have merited your support so that 
vou will be able to select me an- 
other year as your candidate. 
“T believe that we should have 
the full support of the Republican 
party this fall in every office, and 
forget our petty feelings and elect 
a full ticket. I take this method of 
thanking Mr. Hubbard and Mr. 
Tarr for the courteous treatment 
accorded me, together with the 
newspapers.”

Speaks Very Complimentary of 
Manchester Primary School. 
A writer to the Gloucester Times 
in last Saturday’s issue speaks very 
complimentary of the system of 
training employed in the lower 
grades of the Manchester schools. 
Following is the communication: 
“Messrs. Editors:—It was my 
privilege to visit the new primary 
school in Manchester and I was 
very much interested to notice the 
practical work done by the schol- 
ars. It seems to me that we in 
Gloucester are far behind the 
schools of Manchester in those 
branches. The little girls are taught 
to sew. First they make samples, 
learning the different stitches, then 
they make a small apron for a doll, 
afterward one large enough to wear. 
They make a small pillow case, then 
a large one, and there were excel- 
lent samples of this work, also 
patching of stripes and plaids very 
neatly sewed. As they go farther 
they learn to use the machine and 
make clothes, one of the girls last 
year being ambitious enough to at- 
tempt a three-piece suit, which was 
a success. 
“The boys, beginning with a 
knife make wedges, and later learn. 
to use tools “doing” most — credit- 
able work in sleeve boards, cutting 
boards, knife trays, one boy making 
a sled and it was one of which to 
be proud, I assure you. {f was 
tempted to wish I lived in Man- 
chester, even if Gloucester is “the 
opal of the world.” 
‘“But why can’t we have these 
good things as well as our neighbor, 
and then. when our girls and boys 
graduate they will have a good prac- 
tical education ? 
“Tf some of our school authorities 
would visit Manchester and see for 
themselves I am sure they would be 
interested and perhaps enough to 
adopt a part of the system.” 
“Visitor.”

‘Charles H. T. Mann, a native of 
Manchester, one of Methuen’s best- 
known citizens, died early Monday 
morning at his home in the former 
town. 
He was born August 10, 1841, 
and moved to Methuen when very 
young. He was unmarried. He is 
survived by one sister, Miss Abbie 
S. Mann, and one brother, David C. 
Mann, both of whom lived with 
him. He also leaves an adopted 
son, Charles W. Mann.
