The school facilities in Point Plea.

sides poorly furnished. No natter
how competent the teachers may be,
! it is simply impossible to do jpstice
to the children under the circum-
stances. All admit that it is the du-

their accommodation and comfort
This District is wealthy, and there is
no good reason why we should not
build in this place, school-house
that would be an ornament and cred

the one now in use, which is a dis
grace. The school-board have q 10.
| in their possession, centrally located,
| in the most beautiful part of town,
above high water, and on a line of
all the other public buildings, and
which. cost nearly sf.S00 about seven
years ago. Now as We have the lot
on which to build, why not doso9 1t

cessity in a few years, and it might

question of building, under the law,
must be submitted to a vote of the
people, and We ere satisfied that if
the question is submitted to them it
will carry by a large majority. Let
the people move IN this matter.
