SCHOOL

'SA''Ch va VA
Owing TO the irregularity in the time of opening the
schools, and the shortness OF the time a large majority are
kept open. the superintendent cannot visit all the schools.
This is the sole cause OF this failure. 1t is my desire to
remedy this, and have a proposition to make to the
school directors, which will obviate the cause and its re-
suits.
Ii the directors of Monroe, Albany, Wilmot. Overton.
Durell and Asylum, will commence their schools in the
first week of November
The directors OF Standing Stone, Wyalusing, Tuscarora,
Herrick, Pike and Warren, theirs in the third week in
November
The directors of Wysox. Rome, Orwell, windham.
Litchfield and Sheshequin, theirs in the first week in De-
cember:
The directors of North Towanda, Ulster, Athens, Ridg-
berry, South Creek. Wells, Columbia. Springfield, Smith
held and East burlington, theirs in the third week in De-
cember
And the directors of West Burlington, Troy, Armenia.
Granville, Canton, Leroy, Franklin and Towanda, theirs

Now, what say you, school directors? There is nothing
TO prevent this arrangement will you go into it?
The best way to commence the work is. for each district
to advertise for teachers, and give notice in this advertise

OF advertising will be one dollar. and if any board of d-
rectors feel unwilling to take this much out of the school
fund, | will pay the dollar for advertising, on the condi,
ton that all the districts OF the county go into this ar
rangement.
hope the different boards will cooperate with me, in
every effort made to advance the schools. Complaining
VIII not mend them. Tins has been tried for twenty years,
and still they are very poor and we may find fault TWEEN
ty years more, and they will be no better unless we take
hold. We cannot get rid of the school law. This is set
tied. The question then is, shall we suffer it to be a bur-
den without any advantage, or shall we second the efforts
OF our lawmakers to improve it! The latter seems to me

years. Bat t. make it better we must look after it.. We
must order out of chaos, or the fruit will still be bitter.
