ST. JOHNsBURY SCHOOLS.
Under superintendent Sandford's es-
cOrt The CaledOnian scribe spent a
some of the st. JOhnsbury schools. He
was so charmed with what he saw,
with the cOmmOdiOus, well ventilated
rooms, with the array of intelligent
pupils, and with the many evidences
of thorough and conscientious work on
the part of the teachers, that there
would be danger of his OVERRIDING any
report that might be attempted of it
! all. But n report is impossible, as the
fair with its best horses and biggest
oxen, occupies the space that otherwise
the best schools in Vermont. It's a
rare piece of good fortune that comes
TO the st. Johnsbury baby in that it is
born in st. Johnsbnry and may begin
and complete its education right here
and under such favorable circum-
stances. Janitor Crosby deserves a
word of commentator for the tidiness
of the buildings, inside and out, and
particularly for the rich, closely shaw
en- greensward that makes the. sur
rOundings so attractive.
