| would give You some account Of our
New School House, built the past year.
For many years a large part Of the in
habtants Of this town (like most all thinly
settled towns) have had quite notion Of
cutting up the town into little 7x9 dis
tricts, and placing like sized school house
near every mans door, hardly suitable to
keep pigs in. Some Of US have been for
years laboring to convince the people that
they were not pursuing the right course,
and insisted that it would lie better to have
larger districts. larger school houses and
larger schools, though some scholars might
have to go farther to reach the school
About two years ago We succeeded in
getting three districts made iSsO one. cold
the old houses. and commenced to bSild
one house that would accommodate all the
scholars. as near the centre OF the district
as We conll locate it. The building is
l0x3O feet on the ground.and ls feet post.
and hare finished it in the best manner,
costing about $500 as it is now. When
the scats,-after the latest styles are put
in, which we shall accomplish next season,
the cost will amount to e4.200. We have
put in fox the winter, temporary eeats, and
have school in operation Of 80 tcholars.
which will soon fill up to lOl We intend
to have the school graded, and have now q
frat rate teacher and an assistant. Per
nit me to say. in the WY Of congratula-
ton. that although obtaining our living by
hard labor, that We have. in addition to
this school house. built a neat and snb-
stantiai meeting house. with bell, and
eight day clock, with aN the other fixtures,
within the past few years, and have a
half OF the time without any out
side aid. II any haze done better let
