THE CARSON Pubic scHoon.-Ac

house of this town, yesterday morn
ing, a few minutes before school hours.
Although much has been said and
written concerning the school build
Ings of this town, but a faint idea can
be formed of the utter loathsomeness
of the different rooms. We blame no
one. but consider it u bounden duty
to bring the matter before the public,
with the hope that steps ma be taken
towards their improvement. The
room occupied by the Principal and
Grammar department is the best ofthe
three, but has witbal an appearance of
such desolatiOn that a visitor would
be struck with feelings of cofnmisera
ton for those compelled by circum-
stances 10 pass their time there. The
desks are about large enough and tar
enough apart to admit a ~dinlinutIve
child of 4 or > years of age and cripple
him or her forever. The loor is I'M
even, and the teachers desk would
disgrace the office of a village Justice
of the Peace. The room occupied bv
the Intermediate department is a ms
cradle, cold, drearv, dirty looking
hole. a place that would cause "A home

lower than anything OF the kind ever
