DUMMBRSTON.

The SchOOlhOuse in District No. L.
The first schoolhouse in Dummersten
was built about 1850 and was located on
the common at Dummerston Centre, where
the union Westinghouse was bull. in 1912.
1t was probably built of logs, as it was &C.
cupied only 20 years when a new framed
schoolhouse was built in 1901. The town
voted, April ~, 1901, "that School District
No. set their new School House North of
the Old one on the Common and a little
farther west towards the Brook" The
new building was located a short distance
northwest from the old one and east of the
brook. 1t remained in that position for 80
years and was removed about 1880 to its
present site on low marshy ground west of
the brook, at one time covered with will
lows and swale grass, the same as now
grows less than two rods from the school
building. The locality is still habitation
for toads, frogs, snakes, mud turtles and
lizards. When the brook is at high-water
mark. after thaw in winter or during a
freshet in spring time, the water, sets back
up to the door-steps, and sometimes sweeps
around the building and under the wood
shed, as we saw it on one occasion when in
charge of the school. Even last winter,
when Schoolmaster Piper of Brattleboro
was in charge of the school, the brook
overfowed its banks in February, and he
was forced to wear tall rubber boots with
his trousers tucked inside in order to wade
across the stream and carry his pupils
pick-a- back to the door of the schoolroom.
This state of things ought not to exist
much longer The schoolhouse is nearly
a century old and greatly in need of re-
pairs. No money should be used in repair
ing the building until it is moved to its
former site, much pleasanter and more
healthful location than the present one.
Its removal in 1880 was not sanitary ar
rangement but a matter of convenience.
1t was accomplished mainly through the
influence of a prominent merchant, who
was annoyed by having the schoolhouse so
near his place of business. In those days
the scholars in attendance numbered from
20 to 90 and, when let loose from school,
their noisy demonstrations created per-
feet pandemonium on the common. But
changes have taken place. The merchant
passed away. The store is closed, the
number of school children is reduced to
less than 20 and the noise is abated. 1t is
high time that the schoolhouse should be
pulled up from its swampy location on to
dry land. The local boards of health are
now required by law to make a sanitary
survey of each schoolhouse and report to
the state board. The local boards must
also report to the voters of their town at
each March meeting the sanitary condition
of the schoolhouses.
