would impress upon the patrons
of said school the Importance of
building a school house and fitting it
UP with suitable benches and desks,
and supplying the pupils with uni
form text books.
I'd. I visited the school at Alden's,
Mrs. K. D. Elder teacher. I found
there tolerable good school house
and benches, but no desk or places
for pupils to write. The text book
very irregular. Her roll book showed
22 pupils enrolled, with daily aver
age of about IA. I'd suggest that
the patrons purchase or make suita-
bic desks and blackboard for their
school, and furnish their children
! with uniform text books.
Bird. / visited Cottage Grove
school, Miss Lulu Dubois teacher,
and found a good school house, good
desk and benches, and an earnest,
working little teacher, that l take
special pleasure in recommending to
any of our public schools.
4th. / next visited the Strayhan
school, Miss Esther Thompson teach
er. found a comfortable, but rather
small building, with benches, but
no desks nor convenient place for
pupils to write. The children were
crowded for room, and boys and
girls had to sit together. She had
enrolled q pupils and average Is,
which is a very good average. We
recommend to the patrons that they
provide desks and make their school
house little larger, provide a uni
form set of text books and chair
for their teacher, as tits not conven-
lent for teacher to sit beside the
pupils.

school, Mrs. Scott teacher, and while
she was not teaching a public school,
she is one of our public teachers
| found her with a full school, 4G
pupils enrolled, and an average at
tendance of 33. The building was
moderately good, but desks and
benches very poor indeed. The text
books almost uniform. We recon
mend to the patrons that they make
their school house and furniture
more comfortable, and they viii
, find that their children will progress.

, in the school room.

! While it is true this is a TOWNSHIP
school, it does seem poor ECONOMY
to pay $50 month for only 5 pupils
L recommend to the Board that the
consider this question and let az
q know their views. AS we have sew
eral schools on the same basis,
> have permitted the schools to con
tinue, as this has been the custom
, Hence I'd like to hear from Boart
! on the question.
