Miss Darcy have their hands more

seventy each and the frst day over

there are still more and four rooms
instead Of TWO would be none TOO
much. II Il difficult to SEE how all
are going 10 u accommodated.
Few DsrsOus understand the
difficulties OF school management.
nor how much care, time and al
teutiou is required OF the directors 10
meet all the requirements Of the law
and the public. Great patience and
the business talents 10 ran "a bank

There are children enough al the
central school to I'LL the old church
building which is now rented to two
churches. If these rooms could
have been fitted up they wound have
been well flied and the work much
better divided, as it j. almost i'm.
possible for any teacher to do any
kind OF justice to seventy or eighty
children in one room.
The new North salem school will
afford four rooms when the lower
story il finished and will afford
some relief. The upper foor should
also be finished of at once, a. il will
not aiord too much room for our
growing city before another year is

owners OF poultry farms are troubled

fowls. There l. quite & lucrative
trade sp-ung Up in handling live
birds, but il Is believed great many
OF the orders are from taxidermists.
