We are sadly ia need of schools here The
youth of the town aud country are growing
up in ignorance for the want of schools.
True there are seve al small schools here,
but the number of pupils is necessarily
limited for the want of school room. Col.
Rooms is about to open in room of his
dwelling house. because there is no other
place for him to teach. He has the capaci-
ty and the will to build up large school
here--large enough to educate the youth
of the whole country--but he has not the
means necessary to erect suitable buildings.
It is important, therefore, that steps should
be taken TO rebuild the college. We hope
the Trustees will properly appreciate these
suggestions, and show their approval by
going to work at once in this important
matter.
We commenced this article simply to
call attention to the school notice OF Coz.

subject of schools generally in Pulaski.
The subject is one of interest and we IN
tend to refer to it again. Read the card
alluded to, and send your children to school.
