damages. With
the second, they can easily come to an agreement as to damages. To the
third and fourth, they must make an award of damages. Let all of these
cases arise and be taken care of.

The supervisors must be careful to issue their road order in proper form,
and to see that the order, together with the petition, notices, affidavits
and awards of damages, are filed correctly and on time. The town clerk
must read the law carefully to ascertain his duty, and then perform it
exactly. See that fences are ordered to be removed. Let one of the persons
who feels himself aggrieved by the decision of the supervisors, "appeal"
to a proper court. Let this be done in due form. As each step is taken,
let the reasons for it be made clear.

2. Maintaining Roads.--Road overseers return the list of persons liable to
road labor. How are these facts ascertained, and when must the "return" be
made?

Supervisors meet and assess road labor, and sign road tax warrants. When
and how is this done?

How is the road tax usually paid? How else may it be paid? How does the
overseer indicate that a person's tax is paid? If a person liable to road
tax does not "commute," and yet neglects or refuses to appear when duly
notified by the road overseer, what can the latter do about it? How is
delinquent road tax collected? How can a person who has paid his tax prove
that he has paid it?

Under which of the three great purposes of government mentioned in the
preliminary chapter does the making of roads come?

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 wh
