Miss Carly and Miss Jacobsen Jointly
have also been granted authorization to
open a private school from the LIST of
January 1885. Miss Georges school in
Christiansted aud Miss Mlller'S school in
Fledrriksted are only for children under
respectively s and Z years.
Mr.. Stewards school, which was opened
the 1At July 1884 has from the 1St August,
in accordance with the 2nd Chapter of the
School Ordinance, obtained a grant Of
$1,000 yearly. The school numbered ut
the close of the year 4S pupils, who were
fought by the Master and 3 assistants.
Thu instruction embraces all the subjects
mentioned in % of the School Ordinance,
and the school seems on the whole to salts
fy the claims which must be made upon it
as Il condi ion for obtaining the grant Of
public aid. No public examination of the
school has yet been held.
OF the private schools, Ouly one more,
the Roman catholic school at Orange
Grove, shall be separately noticed. This
school is attended by the great majority of
the children who live i'll the district belong
ing to the school, now closed, at Rose Hill
to merly at Mt. Victory. AS the greater
number Of these children belong to the
Roman Catholic Church, il is, as intimated
above, not likely that u public school in
that district wonld get many pupils, and
it is therefore thought to be more in the
interest of education in the island that the
private school should be put into a position
to carry ont in rs satisfactory Il manner as
possible the task which it has taken upon
itself rather than that a public school
should be opened for the small number of
children Which would attend it, and the
Board has therefore recommended a petit
tiOn fer public aid which has been sent
in by the manager of the said private
school. SO far as such a grant should be
made there is ground for expecting an
eAltllSltll VI tue uOM IlIotluClcnO dCNOlI-
mediation for the large number of children,
and also greater efforts in bringing about
a tolerably regular school attendance.
The school seems on the whole, so far as
the Inspector has had an opportunity of
making himself acquainted with it, to rank,
in regard to the results of the instruction,
with the public country schools.
Finally it is remarked that the School
Inspector has resided i'll st. Croix during
the whole time from the date of his
appointment to the 18th December 1884,
with the exception of two short visits to
ST. Thomas, amounting together to 16
days.
On behalf of the st. Croix School Board,

on former occasions elected our presidents by

publican form of government. We have failed
n discover any substantial reason why we
should not elect our presidents as we elect
other officers, and hope to live to see the day
when the present system will be abolished,

of the people. We have given this subject
