STOURBRIDGE SCEIOOD BOARD.
To the Editor of the "
Sir.—ln your lest week's paper I read a report of the
doingr of the above Board, in reference to • school site.
Permit me to make a few remarks upon their proceed-
ings in connection therewith. Banbury Hill km been
partidly agreed upon, but have the membete of the
Board well c insidered this site in connection with (I)
The conditions imposed by the New Code of the Com-
mittee of Council on Education? (2) The requirements
of the districts for which the new school is proposed to
accommodate itself ? and (3) the future pecunierr income
of the school? I think not. •

The New Code of 1873 requires that the school shall
be w,lin a me* iable distance of the children for whose
MCCOIIIIIIO,4 101 l it is provided,—un I • say of
Three requirements are Lot at all met by the proposed
cite. If a line were drawn from !douched to the Crigniill,
and from these two placi s, which are the localities espe-
cially referred to as needing school accommodation, to
Banbury, a triangle would be formed, and invead of
making choice of a situation on the straight line which
joins lee two neglected places for the school site, the
members of the Board itrend by making choice of Has-
bury Hill to drag the children into the far corner of the
triangle glutei& the district altogether. But a far greater
objection than this lien in the fact that this piece of land
rises almost precipitately some 40 or 50 feet or more from
she olive's adjoining, and how may, r ask do the mem-
bero of the Board expect young children, varying in age
from for to thirteeu years to ascend to the top of this
plateau at all seadons of the year—through wet and cold,
frost and anew—in order to make up the number of at-
tendances (400) to secure the Government grant. No
place is the locality, so far as lam aware, is an expose •
to the north and east winds as this spot, and few youn
children and delicate conatitutione could endure the cold
experienced in this very exposed spot through the winter
and early spring months. Most of the elementary and
Board schools of the country are supported nearly to the
extent of one half by Aiivernment Grants, mad, therefore,
It becomes of primary importance that all school build•
ings eliould be brought us near to the homes of the chil-
dren as possible, and that every obstacle to regular at•
tendonee be removed in order to keep the school se effi-
cient 4.4 possible, to obtain a fair share of the biovern•
meat Grant. Unless this is done • large portion of the
annual grant will be lost to the treasurer of the schools
through irregular attendances and consequent inefficiency
and a heavy burden imposed upon the ratepayers of the
town.

Yours truly,
A RATEPAYER.

HOLLOWAY'II PILLS.— The Greatest Wonder of ifodsrn
Mlles.—They correct biliousness, prevent fietulency,
cleanse the liver, and purify the system, renovate the
debilitated, strengthen the stomach, increase the app.-
tito, invigorate the nerves, promote health, and reinstate
the weak in an ardour and vivacity never before experi-
enced. The sale of the pills throughout the globe as-
tonishes everybody, cm vincing the moat sceptical that
Holloway's Pills tranacf nds all other medicine for remo-
val of disease of every name. They are indeed a bles-
sing to the afflicted and a boon to those who suffer from
any disorder, inter, al or external. Thousands of persons
have testified that by their use alone they have bseu
restored to health after all other remedies bad proved

IF THERE ARE ANY LADIES who have not yet used the
GLENFIELD STARCH, they are respectfully solicited 10
give It a Wall and carefully follow out the directions
printed .in every package, and if this is done, they will
say, like the Queen's Laundress, it is the finest Starch
they ever used. When you ask for °WINFIELD STAllen
see that you get it, as inferior kinds are often substituted
for the sake of extra profit. Beware therefore of spur-
ous imitations.
