That is what | call thorough grading
and is the way we Upper-crusters are
now fixed on the school question-with a
a few exceptions. Some of us were
somewhat taken aback ON the receipt of
theSuperintendant of Public instruction 5
decision on the appeal sent last Feb, but
we have compromised the matter the
best we could under the circumstances
The "busted" board had employed a
Principal and assistant teacher before it
was made into kindling wood, which ac-
ton was critzed sharply. The opposers
said the Principal was too small in size
and too young, and they did not fancy the
name of the lady assistant, but weeks
trial shows him TO be competent, and she
is too nice looking to be criticiz ed by any
one of the male persuasion. Now, "every
thing is lovely and the"-you know the
rest of it. We now expect the machinery
to run smooth, as our Board is complete,
safety-yalves and all. However, as is al
ways the case, we are not a unit in this
matter, some are not satisfied with new
notions. The professor of profane liter
ature" mildly intimates, (using some
sentences OF his vernacular that would
weigh ton each,) that the Collector
of taxes for school purposes "must be
prepared to die when he comes for his
tax, as he shall pay it only at the point of
the bayonet." As the man, with the
exception above alluded to, is good and
honest, / suppose he means he would
rather place the money on the point Of
a bayonet, so that the collector need not

ditch man." He is sometimes called
Horace Greeley; probably from the ex-
IRENE contrast between them. He also
differs from the fellow that "did'nt care
whether school kept or not" Our II. G.
being a choice, selected teacher of long
standing, concluded that school must
be kept by himself, and so "pitched in, "
commencing at the same time with the
newly graded. But within the week he

have put off building our Grecian-ben-
der school house, until the Harlem Pre-
tention Il. Il. pay taxes and interest on
