Over here we do things differently. We

of Pennsylvania has the reputation of being
a state which gives so much to educational
purposes, boasts Of its complete school
system, etc, but I'll venture to say and
truthfully that New Jersey need not be
ashamed Of its schools. Your county Of
Pike always of late supposed to be out of
debt can not show lot of as good school
buildings as we can here in Sussex and as
TO teachers wages this town pays from $50
to $40 per month for township schools.

better? We have seen the outsides as we'll

country school buildings, and I'll be
blessed if l can blame any boy for refusing
to be confined in some of them six hours

which he will be sorry later on.
