In the matter of schools, it seems
the ideas of the Board of Education
Of Arbuckle district are rather prim-
live. A few years ago they had
conveniently located school house
on the Five Mile creek, which by
some AOcus pOcus they, for the con-
venience of few parties on the
other creek abandoned, and built
new one on the dividing ridge,
which has proved an Inconvenience
to all. Now there are, we learn,
about 40 scholars enrolled in this
district. the Forrest, and a majority
have over two miles to travel, with
turbulent streams to impede their
way. Therefore, the attendance is
always small 1t is the duty of the
Board of Education to provide for
the growth of school districts. Now
let them look into this matter and
proceed at once to erect another
binding on their lot purchased sew
erai years ago of Mr.. Hall, for the
sum of $50: or, if the location is un-
satisfactory, to sell the lot and build
ing now on it. and purchase and
build elsewhere, and also remove
the school building now in use down
on the other creek, where it will be
convenient.

chased new mill which is now at
