Go.au -
4th Member for OhriStiansted's Country
District (RaphGeD said, he had thought be
could not conscien tiously vote for the pro:
posed rebuilding of the SchoOlhouse at
Kingshill. He has been so many years
in the neighbOHrhoOd. that he should know
something of the whole relation and state
of things. Kingshill is not a fit place for q
schoolhouse {. il. $4,000 are to be used for
Te-establishing that building, let it be for
the use of the military he considers it
necessary, and it. mast before long become
q fact, that some military men be placed at
Kingshill the anne as in Frederiksted it
has always been so, and only unfortunate
circumstances led to its withdrawal. Now,
it can certainly not be a right move 20 put
@ school house or to put children where
Military are needed. Besides that, all
children bound to attend from the Estates
of which there could be a question, do al.
ready attend school; and # the locality of
FriedenSfeld be found too small, then an
additional room could be added, aud an
assistant teacher employed. But at Kings.
hill it would not answer at all to have a
school.
The GoverNor hoped that the honorable
4th Member for Christiansted's Country
District will be able to vote for the re.
building of this building at KingshiIl,
when he learns that the building may if
necessary be used as a barrack it will be
rebuilt with that purpose in view, and if
some day it should be necessary to place
Military there, then the house will be
there already, and then provision for a
schOOlrOOm must be made elsewhere, until
then We may use the building as a School
house, which is according to the recOmmen-
datiOn of the School Board. With refer
ence to Friedensfe,d there is this circum.
stance that the building does not belong
to the Government, hence it could not be
we'll possible to add an additional building,
the Government would have to buy it.
3rd Member for FrederikSted's Country
District (Hea0it0 said he for his part
agreed with the 4th Member for Christian
sted (Raphael). 1t has always been his
opinion that mounted men should be sta
toned at KingShill, aud sooner or later
1t must necessarily come to that. This
alone renders it inadvisable to have the
building intended for accommodating Mi.
ltary) used as a SchOOlhouSe, but moreover
Kifgshill is not q proper place for a
school,, there are no Estates within any
reasonable distance besides SlOb and Ere.
densbOrg these Estates have but small
villages and few children, and for them
Friedensfeld is just as convenient AS a
school it haSianSwered we'll all this time
apdI no good sound reasons can be given
foThaving a change. If the building at
Friedehsfeld were out of repairs, that
would have been another thing; it could
have been repaired; but that objection has
not been raised; and as we are short of
cash, and as the old schooIhouse is more
convenient, let us remain where we are.
The rGovertOr: Just those Members who
are in favour of Military being located at
Khgshil should be willing to vote for this
building now, because it, will be easier
then iD time to have the Military there.
The, change has been recommended by the
School; Board from several reasons, esspe.
clally the great number Of children, the
distance, ETC. The representation in that
respect was laid before the Home Govern.
nIent, and although there is such a great
deficiency, In our finances, still the Minis
ter, of Fipances was not unwilling to allow
the ,ttse. b, the, amount, since it was con!
sfdsfsd urgently necessary. AS already
atstsda,n the building is for use as school
