SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT IN WEST
F1ErD.-It has been noticed for some
wears that as class of buildings, the
school houses were the poorest in this
town, but happily this can be said no
longer. 1t is wonderful how an ex-
pense Of 800, judiciously laid out on
a school room, will change it for the
better. Several Of our districts have
tried it, and the wonder with them
now is that they had not done it be-
fore. A few feet in length and in
height, by arching inside, makes a new
place of an old one. New plaster on
the walls and ceiling, and good ven
tilation, will add much to the cheer
and mental life of q school ROOM
One district has purchased the Gram
mar school rooms, the Grammar school
reserving the right to use them when
needed, and this leaves but one decid-
cdly poor school house in town.
There are in the air various hints and
questionings as to what can be done
with this. Now these things are
signs OF substantial improvement
Whatever else may or may not hap
pen to a town, if its youth are educa-
ted and trained up to virtue, there is
really little to fear for the future of
such town. One of the first and
most necessary means of such a train
inc, is good comfortable and tasty
school room. In addition to this, an
outlay for teachers, such as shall Sc
cure the best talent for this purpose,
will put the best interests of a town
in safer keeping than boarded wealth
can buy, or noble birth secure.
