Milton “Milt” Leon WING was b. 20 Jul 1874 in Burke or Chateauguay, NY to parents

The old studio
photograph of Milt WING, which was taken at the Graham Studio in
Rochester, VT, appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Milt likely
in his 20's at the time. I’d like to get this treasure to a family
member.

Campton, March 1, 1890.
The schools in town the past year have been for the most part well taught and successful. A few have been partial failures, owing mainly to the want of good order. The responsibility for the latter, rests upon the pupils, the teachers and the parents; not the least share, perhaps upon the parents. We are obliged to employ female teachers mostly, and in the small schools, often those who are young and inexperienced. Where there are large scholars in a school disposed to be disorderly, such teachers find it difficult to maintain their authority. In all such cases, parents should co-operate with, and assist the teachers. Each parent should specially inquire respecting the conduct of their own children, and administer proper reproof and correction for any ill behavior.
Complaints of children against their teachers in general, should not be noticed. They often reach home, vexed at some reproof or chastisement, or some partiality they imagine shown to other scholars, and give a very one-sided account of the matter. In case of any wrong worth noticing, the teacher should be interviewed, and her statement charitably considered. Teachers should not be criticised in the presence of children. It tends to discredit them in their eyes, and to impair their usefulness. One sensible woman in town said that if she felt any dissatisfaction with a teacher, she never spoke of it before her children, or even allowed them to know of it. It is an example worth following.
It is not a good plan to take children from school on account of any fancied or real incompetence of the teacher. A person by good luck may pass an examination and obtain a certificate, who does not deserve it. Scholars may learn something even under such a one. A case is remembered, of a teacher of limited knowledge, who acquired a good reputation as a teacher, and met with good success. In arithmetic he would make the brightest scholars work out and explain the hard examples to the rest. In other studies he could tell whether correct answers were given by having the book before him. Nevertheless, the board do not intend, knowingly, to employ a teacher incapable of instructing the school. In case of dissatisfaction it is better to request some member of the Board to examine into the matter. It is not worth the while for a teacher to spend much time in working out long and puzzling problems for a few of the more advanced scholars, to the neglect of the general interests of the school. She should thoroughly explain principles and rules and leave the puzzle to test the ingenuity of the pupils, for which mainly they were inserted, unless she has plenty of time to devote to this purpose.
Neighborhood broils should be kept out of the schools if possible, so as not to set the children by the ears, or affect the teacher. Sometimes one part of a neighborhood will set themselves for or against a teacher, for no better reason than that another part with whom they are not on friendly terms take the opposite sides.
Schools have been kept during the year in eleven school houses, and one in a private house. Owing to the number and location of the school houses, some of the schools have been ridiculously small. In two instances there were only two pupils; in one case the only scholar was boarded out to go elsewhere. Other schools had four, six and eight. It seems preposterous to be at the expense of running a school for only two or four scholars, but under the circumstances there seemed to be no alternative. This state of things should be remedied as soon as possible after the question of the continuance of the town system is decided. The number of school houses should be reduced to the lowest limit compatible, with the general interests of education in the town. The more school houses and schools, the more money will be required to build and keep in repair the former and to run the latter; the shorter will be the terms of school. By reducing the number of school houses, some scholars would be obliged to travel a greater distance and might not be able to attend school at so early an age. But it may be remarked that a pchool year from the age of ten to fifteen, is worth to a pupil double that from five to ten, and any loss of schooling in the latter period will be more than made up by the greater length of schools to be enjoyed in the former.
Another matter to be considered in this connection is the town finances. For some years the town increased the amount of money for schools required by law, to a thousand dollars. During the flush of money in war times, this was still further increased to twelve hundred, the amount since raised. But with the increasing number of abandoned farms, the stripping of others of wood and lumber, the general depreciation of the rest, how long the town will feel able or willing to raise this in addition to the other high taxes, remain to be seen. With the present number of schools, any considerable diminuation of this amount would render them so short as to be comparatively worthless. Plymouth has reduced the number of her school houses to six. Owing to the peculiar natural conformation of this town, it is a difficult question as to the number and location most advisable here. It is a matter that should receive the thoughtful consideration of the people of the town. By an act of the legislature the School Committee are required to purchase, at the expense of the town, text books and other supplies used in the schools, to be loaned to the pupils free of charge. This does not prevent the purchase of books by any that desire so to do, and in many cases this seems desirable, that pupils may have them to use at home, between sessions of schools.
It will be necessary for the town to make an appropriation sufficient to cover the outlay for such purchases, the amounts of which it is difficult to estimate beforehand. It will be the aim of the Board to render the matter as little burdensome to the tax-payers of the town, as the welfare of the schools will admit.
