amount of bodily and mental lassi-
tude evinced, and frequent complaints
Of headache made, both by teacher
and scholars. This fact is not sur

broken through. The question was
raised last Friday evening, whether

This, however, is not the time nor

merits to be derived from either this
proposal, or the one made by the
school board. The time for that dig:
cussion is next Saturday evening, and
we would earnestly appeal to our
citizens to be in early and numerous
attendance on that occasion. Our

this is question that affects them

The School House Question.


AS will be cleaned from the min
utes of the special school meeting,
called to consider the advisability of
bonding the district for the sum of
$500, in order to enlarge the present
school building, published elsewhere,
the meeting was adjourned till next
Saturday evening, at 7 o'clock. This
adjournment was unfortunately me-
cessitated by the very small attend
ance of the citizens. The question is
one which not only interests those
amongst our citizens who have chill
dren at present attending the school,
but is of almost equal Importance to
every inhabitant of Wadena. 1t
would be an insult to the readers Of
your journal to reiterate the thread.
bare arguments in favor of good
school houses, and we can only attrib-
ute the scanty attendance, not to 4
lack of interest in the question, but
to a misunderstanding of the nature
of the call. Any one of our citizens,
who will for one moment thought
fully consider tho question, will see
that the accommodations afforded by
the present building, are totally in
adequate to the demands made upon
them. The number of children on
the school roll last term was lO3.
The number on the roll when the
present teacher first took charge, was
in the neighbsrhood of So, and both
Mr.. Whitney and members of the
school board, estimate that there will
probably be some so more scholars in
attendance next term. From these
facts it is not difficult to see that next
term, unless some change in the
present accommodations is made, one
of two things will happen; either the
children will have to be packed in a
building which will not hold them
comfortably. and in this event, the
result can only be that both they and
their teacher will suffer in mental
as well as bodily health; or else some
of them will have to be denied
admission, and that will cast \ stig.

not that il is rather nice 10 see them so de-
lightfuly happy, think should compile a
little code Of rules for their guidance, such
as-Elderly married couples do not as

been asked and answered years and years
ago. under probably very similar clrcum-
stances. Many BRIDE would betray her
