Riverside under the charge of f. w. Trask,
nrt 1na IN
some of its parts, that we must give readers
some specimen bricks: "Miss - made the
best possible use of the little black board
furnished, and then used the walls, to supply the
deficiency" "Mr - had much to contend
against to hinder tcacher-scholars irregular in
attendance, and an exceedingly poor school house,
as the room could not be warmed when the sur
rounding neighborhood was cold. Scholars could
not be blamed for being irregular, as it was risk
| of life to ST, in such room when the wind blew.
Thore is nothing of the house worth repairing"
at would be better for Miss II to attend q
good school few terms if she intends TO follow
| teaching" "There are several school-rOoms IN
town that do not contain single desk that is not
| cut and carved, and not space large enough to
rest the palm Of the hand that is not cut in some
| manner; and many have hierogyphcs. upon desks
and walls that are not elevating to the morals TO
say the least divine, on being asked how he
| felt on arriving in certai city noted for being
the abode of thieves, said he felt like stealing
something SO Win Tue sCHolaT entering one Vi
these school rooms he feels like searching for his
jack-knife. How far this may go in making the
morals of the pupil, cannot be estimated; but GER
| tainly such surroundings do not tend to improve
those who are inclined to bad habits. For virtue
| to grow in such places is like growing plants
among weeds" "No man that has love of hu-
mainly, good morals and religion, can in any way
oppose any measure that is to benefit his own or
his neighbours children. A man that can stand up
before his fellow men, and with bis right hand up
lifted advocate morals and religion, and for fear
of small tax, with the same hand deposite vote
to binder the advancement of schools, is disgrace
to the society to which he belongs, an injury to
the cause he advocates, and counterfeit of man.
