Mr.. Editor Il see tina { the committee on
education recently visited the Western Nor
NAL School and that an appropriation to
each school of $1,000 is to be recommended
to the Legislature. Last year the commit
tee visited Pennington, and that school got
$500 more than the Observation-Disclosures be-
cause of this visit. Why have not the COM
mittee on education visited our Eastern
school: We answer, because of want of
steam communication between Belfast and
Castine.
The ability and energy of the teachers of
the Eastern school have placed that Insti-
tuition in the front ranks of Normal schools
in n. L. and its friends and pupils have a
right to complain that il is deprived of
Legislative appropriation and favors. also,
of many pupils from the counties West of
the Penobscot for want Of decent communi-
cation NTH Belfast. Lack of local enter
prise should not be allowed to injure the
growth of school which is doing such a
noble work for Eastern Maine. Cannot
something be doneI w. A. b. L. r.
