SCHOOL HOUSES.
Our school houses are in a discouraging
condition: tendency to discourage both
teachers and scholars they possess, which is
too little thought of by many people in this
town. They are as far behind the times as
the implements of husbandry are that were
in use in the days when they were built
They are not only ill-contrived and lnconven-
lent but they are uncomfortable and unhcal-
thy. 1t cannot reasonably be expected that
schools will prosper as well in such places as
they would in pleasant and convenient hou>-
es. Perhaps some Of the houses might be
repaired so as to do for some Of the small
schools, but in most cases, am inclined to
think, to build new ones would be far bet
ter investment.
