As announced in our last issue, the next term Of
tho Perry Union School, under the supcrin-
tendency Of Professor J. W. EviNG, will commence
on Monday next, the 4H Of September. The pros
poets ror the coming year, are pleased to state,
present many gratifying and encouraging feaIures,
The Board Of Education have determined, to the
extent of their ability, to meet the growing demands
Of the School, The services of an Assistant Teacher
in the High School Room have been secured, in
consequence of the increased number Of scholars
in this department, We are pleased 20 note also,
the improvements which are taking place upon the
building and the grounds. These Improvements
have not been commenced too soon. The manner
in which the building and its surroundings have
been not only neglected, but dc(acod and injured
for long time past, reflects no credit upon the
part Of the citizens of Perrysburg and now that
the work of improvement has commenced, we trust
more interest will be manifested ia the future, and
greater pride shown in the comfort, convenience
aud appearance Of our Public School Building,
But thanks to the perseverance and energy Of Mr..
Ewing in imprcssing the minds of the Board aud Of
the people with the absolute necessity of mprovc-
mcnt the good work is going on, and by the close
OF the present week, the rooms will be thoroughly
renovated, repainted, papered, whitewashcd, and
many improvements added. New seats and desks
will take the place of the present old and dilapi-
dated ones in the High School Room. On She out
side, the fences are being rebuilt, new sidewalks
will be constructed, and the enclosure will be made
otherwise attractive. When the improvements in
contemplation are fully completed, this buildnP
will, as it should be one of the finest School-houses
in this section Of the country.

districts, good board can be had in private families
at SO a week. Any wishing can secure board 10y
