School Necessities.

Mr.. Editor: Our people have been
greatly exercised during the past few
years about railroads, bridges, &C., for
the improvement of the town, and
the increase of facilities for money
making; and have spent time and
money literally to that end; but what
have they done for the education of
our children? The school. houses Of
Point Pleasant are a disgrace to the
community, and standing monu-
ments of neglect and carelessness, Of
which the people will be ashamed in
the future. The school days of our
children are rapidly passing, and can
never be recalled, and they will be
compelled to pass through life with
all the disadvantages of ignorance
caused by the neglect or parsimonious.
ness Of their parents, in failing to
supply them with necessary facilities
for obtainingan equal education with
those with whom they come in con.
tact.
Our present school house is incon.
'veniently located, is too small and un.
healthy, and entirely inadequate t.
the necessities of properly educating
the youth Of the town. The man who
supposes that so to rs scholars, puck.
ed together in a small room, can be
successfully taught by one teacher, Is
but slightly removed from an idiot
a good <tableman would be insulted
by an offer to him of such facilities
for caring for his stock as is offered tc
the teachers for the cultivation of the
minds of our children; and yet par.
ents would feel greatly outraged t,
be told that they care less for the
comfort, health and welfare of theiI
children than they do for their mon,
ely interests. Well, now, don't "get
your backs up too quickly, but
think calmly about it few minutes
You spare no labor, money or thought
about your business interests; how is
it about the education of your child.
rem? You have a good, convenient
and healthy site for school house,
but you don't build on it. You could
have a suitable building put on this
lot but you don't do it. You could
have rooms sufficient to prevent your
children being packed together, like
sardines in box, but you don't do
it. You could have teachers enough
to give your children necessary and
efficient instructions, but you don't
do it. You could give your children
the opportunity Of improving their
passing school days, but you don't do
it. You could save your children
the chagrin and disadvantage, in af.
ter life, of a want of education, but
you don't do it. Do you SO neglect
opportunities to make money! No,
you do not. These are some of the
grounds that might be urged against
your protested love and care for your
children. These, too, are not hidden
mysteries; they are plain, pal pable
and open facts, you cannot fail to see;
if you only take time to investigate.
The money you may leave your child.
rem, will not compensate them, for
the degradation they will feel all
through life, by reason of their want
of education when they are too old to
obtain it. The grand possibilities
