The committee say of this building at is a
gloomy, comfortless, unattractive old house,
Just the place that pupils dread to enter. and
when once within its walls from which they
long to escape. The school-room is itself a
relic of the past. Here is found the inclined
plane. down and up which the scholars are
desce nding and ascending every hour of the
day. Here are found the old fashioned bench
es, where the smaller pupils sit through the
long hours swinging their feet, unable TO
touch the floor below. The room itself, with
its surroundings, is just fitted to dispirit a
| teacher and discourage scholars. We ear
nestly exhort the inhabitants of this district
