BLOSSOM PRAIRIE, June 25.-Here-
tofore this place has been without a
first-class school, from the fact that we
have been deprived of large, COM
Portable building and other accommo.
datons highly necessary. There has
been some discord among the patrons
of the schools. They could not, or did
not, agree upon location suitable to
all concerned for school building; so
few of the citizens built house In
location which suited only u few, so
that coupled with other things divided
| the children into four or five different
schools, thus upsetting a splendid
school system which might have been
adopted here long since. The
patrons have been attending a
school of experience the past
several years, which they find not
only expensive for a little good, but as
unsatisfactory 70 themselves rs 1t Is
disastrous ta the community for want
of u better plan. There is to he u
change here this summer; the good
people they are all good of the place
realizing the folly of such course as
the past few years have been, and be-
lieving that they not only do a great
Injustice to their children as well as
the community at large, have now
struck upon a plan which will doubt
less have much happier effect in its
results and he more beneficial TO the
town and its citizens. They now joint
Nv propose to erect large and commo-
dious school building in central and
desirable location and employ the SER
vices of Prof. H, &. Hobbs, a teacher IL

the state with great satisfaction. IL
