Mr.. Editor knowing tha your paper is de-
voted to the incrt SIS Of education Il, well as the
advancement Ct sound moral and political views.
wish to ask of you the privilege of Suggesting
few OF my thoughts on the necessities of our
school i'll this district, NO one) was in the
school not long since. aud no one could have been
in the school at the time was, without cOminr
TO the same conclusion that did. viz that the
House was not large enough for the accommo-
dalion OF scholars. The seats in both rooms
Were designed both for the comfort and the Good
order OF the scholars, that only two should sit
upon seat, now, | know, the crowd of children
which congregatcs in that lower room could not
be accommodated with seats unless they placed
three upon bench thu any boIy can see who
knows that there are seats only for about two
hundred, while somalimcs nearly three hundred
scholars are present and need seating What
wish to suggest, Mr.. Editor, is, that our District
Board should take immediate steps for the con-
ycniencc OF these extra scholars. The district.
if understand the matter. are Obliged to furnish
room for al tie Sc50'ars who will attend, if they
furnish for any. have no doubt bat the district
board have the bcs! Intentions, and are willing to
do this Bat | don't think they realize the i'm
portance OF Ii as thcy should. Il seems to me
It they did, they would procure another room for
these surplus scholars, and not compel their IA
rents either TO keep them at home or send them
To some other school while they are Obliged tc
pay taE's TO seaport the school from which thy
are da5arred THcre is no doubt but tn 4 %: :
board will do all in their power for the b-st ,:r-
= 81 OF the scholars in TIE district. and What |
want to accomplish by this communication. is
simply - cali thrir attention to what seem, to
me an Imperative necessity for more room |
know that we have large school room, aai !
know also that We have GIore children to educate
than we have school room or Teachers. This
viii, no doubt receive the attention of those
whom it particularly belongs to, and | cannot
close this hurried Communication without sur
ga-liPg further, that the Interests Of the scholars
WHO already attend their sn3as at the Brick
School House, require that they shoul! not be
crowded ont OF thcir seats by new comars, al
tbouTa cont intend to deny but that tn new
corners have Just IS IN ch right in the district
school, as they who have b zen there r longer
time. Yo1 know, Mr. Editor, that scholars have
more chance to i"aj9 and play with each other
when the seats are crowded than they otherwise
world, and You know OF course, that more at
tenton OF the Teacher is required to keep them
III order. under these circumstances than would
otherwise Be required. Now every man whose
opinion IS worth any thing acknowledges. ttar
with these Impertcclons, we have the best public
-choo in the state.
hope noof9nco will be taken by any memb,r
of the District Board. hope they will not think
am mcdjIing with what does not belong to me
as Ia payer Of the district whom ask them
to give their particular attention 10 these thnr~
! wo IIa.so suggest the propriety of their procu-
ring another building, aud let some of ih, small
or scholars resort 10 it Us a primary department.
if that should be thought best. am not going
to dictate what course will be best to b. done
but wish to cal the subject up for the action
OF the District Board, and il they think best to Dc
any thing aboat it, my Wishes viii b, met if the
youth prosper in their studies and no one has
ground for complaint.
If yon deem these hasty thoughts worthy OF a
place in your paper, yon will ob!ige me by an in
sertion. Yours, Z. f.
