Our ScHooLs.-For months past

Our SCHooLs.-For months past
our schools have been sustained
mainly through the exertions of
our fellow citizens, Messrs. BREcK-
INRIDGE and KNTcKERBocKER, and
too much credit cannot be given
those gentlemen for the energy they
have exhibited in this laedable en-
terprise.
Fall is upon us and our school
rooms must be filed by cheerful,
happy, notwithstanding children,
and to this end we hope our citizens
generally will use their endeavors.
Our children must be educated and
it is the duty of every man to open
his purse for this purpose. We claim
to be an enlightened community, and
our childrens' prospects We're fairer
at the beginning of the war than
ever before. Let every man con-
tribute his mite to the philanthropic
purpose of reestablishing our schools
upon the former basis, and next
summer we can go to the examina-
tions, view our aOork and realize the
good dane!
BY the way, we are reminded that
the Government still has in posses
sion the getty Hail." the school
house of Ward No. 2. This build
ing is absolutely indispensable as a
school house, and let US endeavor to
get it. Our Government officials are
well known for their justice in these
matters, and to them we look for as
sistance as well as to our citizens
if they are willing to assist US they
cannot better signify their interest
in the matter, than by letting our
Mayor have the lighthouses, and
our City Hall. We speak earnestly
in this and as we truly feel. Our
children have been for four years al
most without instruction and this
should be so no longer.
