The school Building at Isle of Hope.
During visit to Savannah's pleasant
suburban resort, Isle of Hope, yesterday,
we noted among the recent projected OF
cOnsummated improvements the renOva-
ton. internal and external, of the public
school building.
The Board of Education of Chatham
county, with that faithful regard for the
intellectual wants Of the people so prOmi-
nent in their official action, recently re-
solved 60 place the school building above
mentioned in first=rate order; to furnish
the school room with appropriate furniture
and apparatus, and to employ a teacher
for the entire scholastic year instead OF
for the period fisk months, as has hitherto
I been done. thus atfOrding to the people OF
this delightful summer resort and cOntigu-
GUS territory the substantial advantages
OF the notably excellent school system OF
the city.
This action of the Board of Education
will doubtless greatly promote the inter-
ests of Isle of Hope and enhance the value
OF property there. The permanent resi-
dents will be provided with superior edu-
( cationaI facilities. while the temporary
I population. which in summer is very
dense and composed mainly Of citizens OF
[ Savannah. will be enabled to retire to the
Island as early in the season as Is desira-
bic without being subjected to the serious
/ disadvantage of Withdrawing their chill
dren from school. Under the projected ar
rangement the young people who have
/ been attending the schools in the city
can pursue the same studies, in the same
text books. and under the identical rules
and regulations that govern them in sa-
yannah. The residents Of Isle of Hope
warmly commend this resolution Of the
board, as the want of a school for children
we'll advanced in studies, especially dur
ing the summer months. has long been
recognized. and we congratulate them
upon its permanent establishment under
such auspices.
