Mr.. J. P. Briggs is teaching in
Dist. No. IL, Somers. We find much
to commend in this school. Every
thing moves like clock work, and the
pupils seem much interested. Indeel,
when a teacher is earnest, and his
whole manner indicates desire to
accomplish as much as possible for
their good, pupils will hardly fail to
appreciate it in some measure. Con-
siderable attention has been given to
map-drawing. and the specimen be-
fore us, drawn by members of the
geography class, show mu CHI taste
and beauty in their execution. Th Or
oughness is characteristic here
nothing being allowed to pass until
1t is understood. The advanced class
in reading which is very large, show
forth the results of the winters drill,
in clearness of utterance, good ex-
preston, and distinct emphasis. AL
together the school is pleasant, disci-
pline excellent, and we doubt not
that Mr.. Briggs is giving genera
satisfaction.
The schoolhouse contains a few
modern improvements. The walls
are papered, and conspicuous on one
side is large map Of the U. S.
Lamps are hung for use at evenings
entertainments. The teachers desk is
quite respectable, far superior to some
work benches we have noticed else
where.
A new schoolhouse was built last
fall, few miles south of Kenosha,
two districts having united, in neither
Of which was anything in this line,
fit for human habitation. The pre-
sent building is neat and commodi-
GUS, and speaks we'll for the enter
prise of Dist. No. II, Pleasant Prai-
