A Girls Duty 70 be Healthy.

THE SCHOOLS.

We suggest that the school directors
practice economy. Last year more schools
were opened than was really necesss airy.
Every man cannot have a school house at
his door. Children can walk from one
and one-half to two miles to school daily
1t is an advantage to the children to walk
a reasonable, distance. They will enjoy
better health and advance more rapidly
in their studies.
-Four or, five school houses in q small
district are unnecessary. This multiplic>
ity of district school houses is the prime
cause of tho negligence in which the
school house is held by the people. We
notice that incompetent teachers inva
riable seek situations in these small dis
tricts and uncomfortable school houses.
We want fewer and better houses, fewer
and better schools. 1t is bad poll cy to
divide and subdiyide the districts. The
result will be detrimental to the school
interest. Que good school with compe-
tent teachers to conduct it, is worth a
h%alf-dozen small, inefficient, and badly
managed schools. 1t costs less to fur
nish one house than it does three or four.
We have in mind one district in the
county in which there are three school
houses and about one hundred school
going children. We maintain that one
house properly located would better sup
ply the wants of the districts than the
three. 1t would be cheaper and the re-
suits more satisfactory. We call the
special attention Of directors to this sub,
iect.
