I This dire Injustice was inflicted upon
the children 81 the district for the space
oil one month, 10 the early part Of fhe
last scholastic year. The result was,- to
the children, deprivation Of the school
privileges; to the schools, great detri-
ment. amounting TO decentralization; 10
the teachers, unrequited toll in assisting
pupils 10 acquiring what they had lost
by absence from school and enabling
them TO again take place side by side
with their class-iellows. The schools
have scarcely recovered from that m.
