good music. good order and fine hall, the |
evenings entertainment was complete. |
The tables were beautifully arranged in the !
school-room, and the second supper was !
served at two o'clock. The ladies of North |
Duxbury, Crossett Hill and Duxbury Cor
ner were very generous in their contribu-
ton of cake, etc, for which the managers
were very thankful. There were 125
couple in attendance; seventy five couples
participated in the dance. Nearly fifty
dollars were realized after the expenses
were paid.
The following communication was handed
us by an indignant citizen of our village,
and we gladly publish it az voicing the
feelings of all parents who have children
attending our graded school. More light on
the subject will be given later on: "There
have been some things said about our
graded school building, its surroundings,
and the rented rooms we have been obliged
to have to get the scholars into mot to ac-
commodate them, 1t would be the height Of
folly to call them proper or right and in my
! opinion not half has been said of their de-
merits that should be. My children play
out Of doors nearly every working hour dur
| ing the vacations, come home with wet
| clothing and wet feet, and are not ill., But
as soon as school begins, they begin 70 lose
their appetites, grow pale, have eye troubles,
colds, ETC., without doubt caused by the
| foul air they are obliged to breathe in the
school rooms, and which cannot be avoided
of the teachers open windows and doors,
and put the scholars on the seats or march
them around the room, once or twice a day;
but all rooms which require this are not fl
for human beings to be confined in six
hours per day. Only part of the windows
can be opened if it was desired, az the sur
roundings are such that it could not be
done. If any one has any doubt on this
point, he can easily satisfy himself by max
| ing call on either of our teachers Just be-
