The arsas5 ssaosl. :.
The graded School at Woodstock has
now 1873 pupils. This large number is so
classified rs to give each child more at.
tention than could be given under the old
system. The teachers arc active and eff
cient and our people are impressed with
the Importance of sustaining an enterprise,
which is doing so much for the communi-
ty. We are Informed by the trustees that
it will be necessary to call a meeting of the
patrons of the school to make arrange
ments for the next five months. The only
assistance the school has received from
the patrons during the. last five months.
has 6een theslm of one dollar from each
scholar: which has cen used in making
necessary repairs and purchasing fuel. A
number. we have been informed have fail
ed to pay this small assessment, but we sup
pose it is because their attention has not
particularly been called to the subject, Or
it has unintentionally neglected. We
would not wish to believe that there is a
single individual in our community who
would send his children to school, where
a.lthe fuel and necessary attention to their
comfort is bald for by tie patrons without
Contributing Els die share. Attention to
this subject upon the part of The patrons
who have not paid will greatly assist the
trustees.

and in one week after commenced taking it / felt
some relief. In one month could move about vii h

all other denominations there is greater than
