erected next season.
Dist. No. IS, Bristol. The school in
this district is taught BY Mr.. Charles
Butric. It is, we believe, the second
school in size in the county, the enroll
ment, 81. The attendance is irregular
and absences. are numerous. The school
had been in session nearly three weeks,
and had received three visits, none of
which came from district officers The
school house is new and very fair one,
but is not furnished to correspond with
most new school buildings in this
county The ground is well fenced.
A judicIous expenditure Of a small sum
f)r wood box, outline maps, wall paper,
and some additional furniture would add
materially to the appearance of the room
and benefit the school accordingly. We
hope to be able, at our next visit, to an
nounce some improvement in that di-
rection.

This district has the best school house
in the town of Bristol. The ceiling is
Ihigh-and valuable feature when the
health ofchildren is considered As we
have before suggesttd, the room ought to
be whitewashed overhead, and papered
on the sides This school, like nearly all
the schools in Bristol, seems to be desti-

| The school house is small and construct
ed on the ancient plan, without hail.
The school is furnished with large, fin,

The windows have curtains, bat the
want OF a wopd box which requires wood
to be kept in the middle of the room
around the stove, and the want of a hall
which It quires hats, shawls, &c, to be
kept around the room, gives the school q
somewhat untidy Appearance The site Is
not fenced.

The enrolment consists of 46 names; 40

number. of visits previous to ours, was 81,
one Of which was by the Treasurer. The
school room has a large surface of good
black board, for which the district Is
greatly indebted to Mr.. Briggs We also
notice new bracket lamps, new dictionary,
and set ofoutline maps. THE school
room is large, and if whtewashed, paper
ed and painted would be much the most
attractive school room to be found in the
town. We noticed with pleasure, new
fence in process of construction around
the large lot connected with the site.
