"A friend of ours in a neighboring state
writes that during the recent cold weather an
Irishman living there was heard to say that
'the Thermometer was down to 1872 below
zero and he guessed purity near froze up"
During the first week in January the writer
in visiting schools in this town did not fail to
notice the condition of school hotses for oc-
cupation in cold winter weather. The school
houses on the west side of West River are in
better condition than those on the east side,
with one exception. In district No. East, is
n school house that is comfortable, pleasant,
healthful and inviting Mr. Edward Chappeli.
who owns real estate near the schoolbuilding,
not only made extensive repairs and improve
ments on his own place during the past sea
son, but also painted the school house outside
and inside at his own expense, refusing any
compensation from the district. The outside.
is painted white, the blinds green, and the in
side a light drab. The neat appearance of
this school house is in harmony with the
buildings on Mr.. Chappell's estate. l would
that all our school houses were made comfort
able at least, and parents would make them
so were they to stay in them six hours a day
for six months in the year. Parents should
do all they can for the comfort and advance
ment of the schools where the children must
spend much of their time. They should visit
the school room often and encourage both
teacher and pupils with their presence. Let
each pupil be well furnished with books.
Keep the children in school the entire term,
though it cost an effort and see that they are
there in season. Follow these few suggestions
and the school will be much benefited.

ton with the Wow to form an intelligent
opinion Of the adaptablity of such road to
our local needs The result Of our observa-
tions, and of information obtained from Mr.
Mansfield, its manager from Mr. Stewart en-
gineer, and from other authentic sources is n
firm belief that two-feet gauge railroad
built and equipped substantially ON the plan
of the Billerica and Bedford road, is suited to
the wants of the West River valley, and that
such II road would do all the business Of that
valley as well in all respects as n road of
broader gauge, and at greatly reduced cost
Actual experience on the Billerica and Bed
ford railroad has demonstrated that passenger
trains may be run at ordinary rates of speed
just as safely on the two-feet gauge as on any
other, and that the freighting capacity of such
a road far exceeds any probable requirements
of the business of the West River valley. In
deed, the capacity of such n road would, in
our opinion, be found amply sufficient in all
respects for the business of through line be-
tween Brattleboro and Whitehall.
