THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
4 Fair Presentation Of the sub.
.Jcct as Viewed by the Board.

To THE CITIZENS OF MILBANK:
For the past season, the Board
of Education have been forccU
to consider the very importan,
question, ''what shall be done
with the increasing number OF
school children?' The room,
have all been crowded for the
past two seasons, and at the
present time they are packed to
overfowing, to the detriment OF
every scholar in attendance. Il
has surprised many who have
seriously considered the health
of the children, that more
scholars have not succumbed to
the vitiated air they are obliged
breathe, There are twentythrec
students attending school at the
present time, not residents O.
the district. We could close oul
doors against these but this
would not relieve our present
embarrassing condition, as the
increase in the district woulG
more than offset these, and We
would still be obliged to furnish
additional room to accommodate
our own children. The BoarG
after careful consideration of the
various ways that might bu
adopted to relieve the situation,
and provide adequate room, have
unanimously concluded that the
most feasible, and sensible
plan thus far presented to them,
is to build an addition to the
present high school building.
A very satisfactory plan and
estimate, and the one favorably
considered by the Board, is to
build on the east side 53x3G,
which will keep the building in
good architectural proportions,
and double the capacity of the
present building, at a cost not
to exceed S3, 400. We can BOND
for ton years at a rate of interest,"
not to exceed 6 per cent for So,
10000, as we contemplate, and
this would make the annual in
terest less than $4,000. The
board concludes that tuition
from outside pupils will easily
pay the interest and most if not
all the principal when due. Two
years ago we received from out
side tuition $2O5 This year il
will exceed that considerably.
And when we can say to tho
large and ever increasing mum
Der of scholars within easy reach
and naturally tributary to Nil
bank, that we can accommodate
you with as good school facilities
as you can find in the northwest,
it certainly is no idle dream to
predict that we shall have
scholars enough to more than
pay interest and principal of the
cost Of the contemplated build
ing Beyond this we shall have
done Justice to our own children,
and as a live, deserving business
proposition, Milbank will aG
vance to the position as an edr-
cational center that is easily
within her reach. The Board
has passed resolution request,
ing the city council to call al
election at the time Of the city
election, to vote on the PROPOSE
ton of issuing bonds to an
amount not to exceed S3, 800, an.
at the coming spring the voters
will be called upon to accept or
reject the proposition. The
Board only asks Of the citizens
that they eliminate this matter
from every other side issue, and
inform themselves fully, as to
the needs of the school, and tho
plan presented and then intelli-
gently cast their votes on this
important proposition.

Kings college,, from which he was
graduated in 1772, He studied for the
ministry under the clergy of Trinity
church, and in IVA was made deacon
by Dr. Keppel, Bishop of Exeter and
ordained priest by Dr.. Terrick, Bishop
of London. He became assistant min
lister in Trinity parish New York, un-
der DR.. Auchmulty and DR.. Inglis, his
colleague being DR.. Benjamin Moore.
He suffered for his loyalty to the crown
while living in retirement at Norwalk,
and after the Revolution, when Trinity
and her chapels were reopened for di-
vine service, found it impossible for
him to retain his position, as his voice
was weak He settled at Norwalk

1t was this friend of Seabury, this
pleader for a pure and Catholic relig-
ion for the American people, that many
of the Connecticut clergy and lalty

desire was the good of the church in
his native state it was both unpleasant
and distressing to be the subject of Wig
orous, debate and heated conversation.
He was finally elected by a majority
of the two houses of the convention,
and Mr.. Bowden, Mr.. Baldwin, Colonel
Joseph Drake and Philip Nichols were
the committee to announce to him his
election. Evidently Mr. Jarvis was
hurt and troubled by the long ballot
ing and want of unanimity, and imme-
diately declined the honor. There had

no effort to begin an Episcopal fund

ABRAHAM JARVIS, ID.



My father told me that when Bishop
White and Bishop Jarvis met in con-
vention, Bishop White proposed that
Bishop Jarvis should preside in virtue
of his being the bishop of the Primal
See. To this Bishop Jarvis replied, say
ing, "God forbid that I should preside
over my conservator." The principle
of presidency by seniority was happily
adopted and the door was closed
against the Vaccinations of ambition,
and the strife for pre-eminence.
Owing to the infirmities of old age,
the principle has. no. doubt, disad-
vantage, but it's advantages to the
peace and quiet of the church and the
preservation of equality among our
bishops, have far more than counter
balanced it. 1t has also closed the door
to the wrangling of religious parties.
Should the church in the future, unhap-
PLY seek to change this wise and good
policy it would be well to consider
whether it would not be wise and safe
to adopt the suggestion of Bishop
White and make the senior diocese of
the American church the center of it's
unity rather than to subject it to the
dangers of an elective primacy.
Bishop Jarvis lost his wife in 1901.
My grandmother was lady of rare
gentleness and sweetness of DISPOSE
ton. The bishop lived in loneliness for
five years, but in 1906, he went to visit
a widow in her affliction. She was a
woman of great beauty and loneliness
of character, and in his effort to con-
sole her, he found consolation for him
self as we'll. They were married by
Bishop Moore in Trinity church, New
York, surrendering independence on
the Fourth of July. They lived in
much happiness
His happiness was needed to sustain
him and comfort him in the severe at
tacks Of asthma which came upon him
with increasing frequency and power.
The end of a long life came in 1878.
Bishop Jarvis died giving utterance to
a deep sense of his own, unworthiness
and expressions of great humility, dis
owing confidence in anything but the
atoning blood of the Lamb of God. The
close of his life was such as befitted
a priest and an apostle Of the Lord
Jesus.
