There has been Sabbath School organized
at Feeder Dam schoolhouse under the auspices
of the M E. Church. We hope it may do much
good. There are many children over our broad
and beautiful land. who need the restraining
influence of thorough Sabbath teaching instead
of being allowed to congregate in the fields
and play base ball, or roam about on the Sab
bath with idle and vicious companions. The
new NJ. E, Church at the center is looking more
and more like building every day.

Some talk has been indulged in about dis
banding one of our school districts for one
year. If that is done why not abandon two or
three more that have not more than dozen or
fifteen scholars each and consolidate somewhat
for one year as an experiment. We know of
one competent teacher who has expressed a
desire to teach one-fourth OF the pupils in the
township for Sa-s5 per day and no doubt three
others Of like mind could be obtained. This
would give each teacher about 80 scholars dur
ing fall term. 20 during spring term, and IS
during " inter term. 1t would be a saving in
alaries alone. of about 5000. besides what
would be saved on fuel. and run each school 81
months.
