What are you goin' to git off the school-committee for?" "Me? Get off the committee? Who told you that?" "Why, I don't know. You are, ain't you? Seems to me I heard Seth Wingate was goin' to run and he's from your district, so I thought, of course " "Is Seth going to try for the committee?" "Seth's a good man," was the equivocal answer. "A good man! He ain't any better man than I am.
It is now easy for each town, or for any inhabitant, to know what has been done in any other town; and, as a consequence, those that do best are a continual example to those that, under ordinary circumstances, might be indifferent. The establishment and efficiency of the school-committee system is due also to the same agency.

From that moment his ferule was broken, and the school-committee very soon had a vacancy to fill. Master Pigeon, the successor of Master Weeks, was of better stature, but loosely put together, and slender-limbed.
